Excavators with Vertical Digging System: small detail, big results.

Wacker Neuson’s unique Vertical Digging System (VDS) has proven its value in improving productivity and efficiency when excavating and backfilling. VDS solves the problem of efficiently and comfortably digging on sloped terrain, straddling concrete curbs and digging in narrow areas. With a press of a button, the excavator takes a vertical position that allows more precise work. You’ll gain productivity on uneven terrain, as you’ll be saving up to 25% on time and material. Experience the unique benefits of VDS. Only from Wacker Neuson.

With VDS you work more productively

VDS enables you to dig exactly vertically. This eliminates unnecessary extra excavation and allows you to work much faster.
With VDS, the days of a drifting upper carriage are also over. The excavator retains full slewing power over the entire 360°.

With VDS you work more efficiently

With VDS, you can save up to 25% on material and time when excavating and backfilling. You can then use the extra time for other important tasks.

You work safer with VDS

With an excavator equipped with VDS, you can expect up to 20% more stability. And that's with full outreach.
Even when working along slopes for long periods, the operator always sits upright and straight.

With VDS you work more comfortably

Due to the usual comfortable and upright sitting position, the operator can look forward to comfortable and fatigue-free work.
The operator can conveniently operate VDS at any time by toggle switch. With stepless adjustment, of course.

Small Detail, big results

A small detail.

Compact excavators in particular often move on uneven terrain. They work on slopes or curbs. That's exactly when the entire excavator inevitably tilts to one side. A sloping thing.

With big results!

Our Vertical Digging System straightens your excavator. With just one push of a button, the superstructure of our excavators with VDS straightens up. This gives you back your usual visibility, allows you to sit up straight and work more efficiently.
