XGMA’s mini loaders XG904 or XG902 are among the full range of Xiamen XGMA Machinery being exhibited at Intermat 2012.
2620 Xiamen XGMA Machinery’s (known as XGMA) XG904 mini loader is said by the Chinese company to be “one machine for multi applications”. The highly versatile machine can be used in an array of applications including utilities work, loading duties or more specialised work when fitted with attachments rather than a bucket. The XG904s TUV-CE certification, standard configuration of FOPS/ROPS and electrical safety protection enables the machine to be as strong on environmental protection and energy-saving as it is on durability and high lifting force. Productivity is said to be high, while all-round visibility is said to be good.
Now producing 10,000 backhoe loaders and crawler and wheeled excavators a year and looking to expand its product range later this year, Hidromek has also been adding new features to its existing machines including the HMK140LC crawler excavator. Featuring a re-designed cabin and new ‘Opera’ control system, the 140LC comes with a four-cylinder Mitsubishi engine, a 4.6m boom and a 0.6m³ cubic bucket capacity. The machine has an operating weight of 14,300kg.
Italian manufacturer Merlo has developed an automatic chassis levelling and stabilisation system for its ROTO range of rotating telescopic handlers. Rather than using individual controls for each stabiliser leg, the operator pushes a button to both level the chassis and stabilise the machine for heavy lifting. This greatly reduces set-up time and increases safety.
