The aim of the project is to make an excavator that is more specialized for future workspaces. The material handling industry has a narrow workspace and material handler excavators are machines with many blind spots. So the Janus was designed with maneuverability and full visibility in mind. Interviews with the people inside the material handling industry done by the designer showed him that these people want this industry to be seen as different from other heavy machine industries. The form shows this by going out of the standart excavator design and being a more different vehicle.
