【Highest Reliability】
EAGLE places three priorities in its technological investment,① robustness and durability, ②user oriented product design, and③ high quality material and solid manufacturing technology. More than 35 years of experiences and lessons learned in responding Japanese customers’ highest demand in heavy machinery movement field are reflected in EAGLE’s products line.

＜Robustness and Durability＞
EAGLE has been pursuing robustness and durability in its products in order to satisfy the customers’ need for moving and placing high value added large scale precision machinery. Its R&D effort for robustness and durability bear fruits of its own technology such as high tension steel based integral structure and safety valve mechanism for robustness, and high durability internal structure of hydraulic cylinder.
EAGLE’s R&D organization has been achieving high performance goals through its design using its most advanced 3-D CAD and structural analytical system as well as its actual products test using its originally developed repetitive durability test machine.

<User Oriented Product Design>
EAGLE’s products development always goes with its users. Its sales staff visit customers’ operational sites, directly listen to local users voices and reflect them in its products improvements. This user oriented product design posture is no exception for the design of accessories, which generally tend to be low priority area for product improvement. For example, EAGLE improved the lever handle of its jack products for higher stiffness to satisfy users’ need for easy handling and work efficiency

<High Quality Material and Solid Manufacturing Technology>
For its main part that requires full strength, EAGLE adopts Japan’s renowned highest quality steel material. And then, its proficient manufacturing staff with high skill attains highest quality in their parts processing and welding assembly by skillful operations of robots and NC machines. By making most use of Japan’s “Mono Tsukuri (high quality product manufacturing)” concept that consists of manufacturing technology, craftsmen’ skill and quality control system, EAGLE is providing products with highest running cost performance and reliability.
