Erkat Celebrates 25 Years Of Innovation
With 25 years of experience in the development, manufacturing, and application of rock cutting excavator attachments, Erkat has established itself as a pioneer in the industry. All main components are manufactured in Germany, ensuring that the company´s products are robust, reliable, and meet the highest quality standards. Erkat stands for innovation, transparency, and a long-term strategy for growth.

A smart solution for many applications
Erkat´s product ranges, including the patent pending V-shaped V-Cutter range, ER and ERC transverse drum cutter ranges, ERL axial drum cutter range, and ADU auger drills range, offer smart solutions for applications such as tunneling, quarrying, demolition, trenching and many more. The company´s drum cutters use a low-energy method of impact, resulting in low noise and vibration.

Benefits of using a drum cutter

Low vibration: Safe application in sensitive urban or industrial areas
Low noise: ideal for areas where noise is an issue and other attachment tools are not allowed
High production rates: perfect for soft rock excavation and demolition, outperforming other attachment tools
Small grain size: cut material has a grain size small enough to be used for backfilling
High return on investment: accurate removal of material, no transportation and secondary crushing of broken material, and high productivity allow contractors to achieve a high return on their investment

Remarkable achievements
Erkat´s drum cutters have proven their versatility and reliability in challenging environments. Notable achievements include the deepest bath taken by an ER drum cutter, reaching about 150 meters deep in offshore applications in Newfoundland, Canada, and operating at the highest job site in Tibet, working at an altitude of around 3000 meters.

"Celebrating 25 years of being a cut above the rest is a testament to our team´s dedication and our commitment to innovation and quality,” said Martina Schierholz ,Senior Operations Manager at Erkat. “We are proud of our journey and excited for the future as we continue to lead the industry with our cutting-edge solutions."
