Successful experience of purchasing small excavators in Europe: LGZT helps in modernization project of Austrian vineyard

Client: Leo Müller

About the company: A renowned organic grape producer in Austria, running a century-old family winery

Project requirements: Transformation of vineyards on steep slopes. Requires flexible equipment to work on narrow terraces.

I. Project Problems and Main Requirements

1. Restrictions on relief:

The vineyard is located at the foot of the Alps, with a terrace slope of 35°. Traditional machinery cannot work stably, so small-sized machinery is needed that provides flexibility and the ability to overcome inclines.

2. Environmental protection requirements:

EU certified organic farms must meet Euro 5 environmental and low noise standards, and the equipment must be CE certified. 2. Lgzt Custom Solution

Accurate selection of equipment

·A tailless bucket wheel excavator capable of navigating narrow terraces is recommended

·Equipped with rubber tracks to protect the soil structure and prevent damage to the grape roots

·Hydraulic system adapted to integrated trenching and fertilizing equipment

3. Project results and customer feedback

Increased efficiency:

·The trenching performance in one day reaches 1.8 km, which is 220% higher than the original equipment

·The project was completed 22 days ahead of schedule, saving approximately €12,000 in labor costs

Ecological value:

·Noise level during operation of the equipment <70 decibels, the equipment has passed an unscheduled inspection by the local department of environmental protection

·No hydraulic oil leaks ensure organic soil certification

Customer Feedback:

"The Lgzt team not only provided the perfect equipment, but also built a "trouble-free channel" from the Chinese factory to the Austrian slope. Their experience in complying with EU regulations allowed us to avoid customs traps, and the stability of the equipment on steep slopes even surpassed the performance of local brands!" - Leo Müller
