Selected
the cross sections are limited to 4
The adjustment of the machine width and the height are limited in these models, and therefore, they are offered at lower prices.

: Agree with you Ken. Referring to "cross section" in the plural is confusing in this case where all section sizes are simply options from which only one can be optimally selected for a particular tunneling job.

Thanks, @mmb42. You are right that these are just options. As the machines have several available setting options, they can handle different tunneling shapes without modification required. I guess this is the reason for lower prices.

applicable to only 4 cross-sections
The machines are applicable to only 4 cross-sections, thus are offered at lower prices.

4 cross-sections in terms of the width and height.
I'm not sure if the height is considered adjustable. From the price list, it seems that the height is fixed at 2.0m for 標準仕様, and 2.5m for 覆工工事. If the height can vary, there should be more than 4 cross-sections.

FYI
これまでのシールド機は、布設する製品が変わる毎にシールドの改造をしていましたが、本工法ではシールド機幅を
4断面（機幅2.7・2.5・2.1・1.8m 機高2.5ｍまで）に固定し、低価格で御提供します。
