Hitachi’s latest demolition range

April 7, 2025 Read time: 1 min

A joint venture between Hitachi and Kiesel Technology builds special application machines for demolition. The machines are made in Germany by KTEG and these include the KTEG 390HR, which is based on a Hitachi ZX350, and equipped with an extendable undercarriage, additional counterweight and tiltable demolition cab. The fixed mounted 23m high-reach boom allows an attachment weight of 3.5tonnes.

The versatile multi-carrier KMC400P can be equipped with various fronts including high-reach demolition, super long front, tele-dipper, earthmoving or crane application units. The Boom Quick Connect system allows a boom change within minutes out of the cab. A robust and durable design, it can handle a range of jobs on demolition environments.

The largest special application machine is the 180tonne KMC1200S, which suits large and challenging projects. It can handle a 3tonne attachment at 51m, 5tonnes at 44m or 15tonnes at 28m. A new main frame and slew ring provide heavy-duty design for durability and reliability.
