230 Hidromek believes its HMK102B backhoe loader will be a “major attraction” at Intermat 2012. The company, headquartered in Ankara, Turkey, says the HMK102B is the result of long studies, customer interviews and market research. The result is a machine that minimises fuel consumption and power losses to ensure greater efficiency, while offering an ergonomic and comfortable cabin for operators.
Fitted with a four-cylinder 257 John Deere engine, the 102B model draws on up to 73.82kW of power and has a bucket capacity of 0.17m³. The new backhoe loader has a standard model operating weight of 8,900kg and a boom dig depth of 4.46m. The telescopic boom model has a boom dig depth of 5.8m and an operating weight of 9,050kg.
A special version of Hidromek’s HMK220LC excavator is now available for use in underground applications. This machine features additional reinforcement and protection to ensure its longevity in the tough underground application, as well as providing extra safety measures for the operator. The same Tier 4 Interim/Stage IIIB emission certified engine and hydraulics components are used as in the standard machines, although additional after-treatment systems are available to meet underground working requirement
Hidromek is commencing work on developing its new wheeled loader line. Export manager Anil Bingöl said, “We have started our wheeled loader project and we hope to have our first prototype machine this year.” This will feature a 3m3 bucket and will be the first in a range of wheeled loaders from the firm. Machines with bucket capacities of 4m3 and then 5m3 will be developed in due course. Testing of the first prototype will be carried out in Turkey and Bingöl said the firm intends to have its wheeled loaders
