Clear as Black & White at Bauma

It was great to see our friends at Turkish manufacturer Hidromek taking an outdoor stand at Bauma this year and fans of the distinctive looking machines were in for a treat as they displayed numerous new models.

Focal point on the stand was the new H4 model HMK 140 LC. This machine under the banner Hidromek Next, was fitted with the latest LIDAR technology including swing sensor, e-dig wall, and e-trench systems, and was routinely operated autonomically during demonstrations.

Hidromek also presented the latest K4 Series of backhoe loaders, the companies fourth generation models. Machines on display included the HMK 102B and HMK 102S models which are said to offer more powerful performance, versatility and even better cab comfort. Servo joysticks are integrated into the seat on specified models and an Hidromek patented “autotilt” feature allows the steering column to raise up automatically when the operator switches from loader to backhoe work.

Another new machine in the ever-expanding Hidromek line up was the HMK 130 CS single drum vibratory roller, which was also displayed with its larger brother the HMK 160 CS.

Other new H4 Series hydraulic excavators displayed on the bustling stand included, HMK 140 LC, HMK 145 LC SR, HMK 235 LC SR, HMK 230 LC, HMK 310 NLC, HMK 390 NLC HD, HMK 520 LC HD crawler excavators, and HMK 150 WR, HMK 210 W MH wheeled excavators. Also of interest was Hidromek’s first foray into the mini/midi excavator market with the 6.5-tonne class HMK 65 ZT zero tails swing model.
