Excavator Fuchs F 301 lattice boom with shovel blue/red

In 1950, Fuchs introduced its first excavator, the D1. The D3 was a further development and followed in 1952. This excavator already had its own drive with a 4-speed gearbox. The F 301 was produced from the end of 1957 and represented a further and important development step. Due to numerous technical innovations and high performance, the F 301 quickly became a best seller. For decades, the F 301 dominated the scene on many construction sites in Germany and Europe and quickly earned the reputation of being the "jack of all trades". The F 301 therefore also played an important role as a construction aid in the post-war period. The F 301 could even be found on construction sites overseas and in the Middle East. Due to its progressiveness and versatility, the F 301 was the model for numerous subsequent generations of excavators. Fuchs only stopped production of the F 301 in 1978.
