New Hydrema 912G

Hydrema has revealed its new generation 912G-Series dump truck, complete with the very latest Cummins Stage 5 engine. The 147hp unit is approved to run on 100% HVO (bio) diesel and goes without an EGR valve, instead relying on a diesel particulate filter and adBlue to reduce emissions. 

Among the other updates is the upgraded cooling system, which has a 10% increase in cooling capacity thanks to a fully welded radiator. Furthermore, the new generation dump tuck is equipped with an electronically controlled cooling fan which only operates when needed. This saves fuel and reduces noise, says Hydrema.

The dump truck also comes equipped with an automatic battery isolator which shuts down when no power is required. Elsewhere, the engine compartment has been reorganised to allow access to all service filters and check points from ground level. Extra drain valves have been fitted to ensure easy and safe oil draining. The radiator compartment has been fitted with a new easy access panel and should you need to climb on the machine three points of contact are available to reduce slips and trips.

All steps on the 912G-series have been widened. In addition, the easy one-step access to the cab has been maintained along with hi-vis grab handles and steps to reduce the possibility of slips. The 912G-series now has an optional LED all around work light package for optimal visibility while operating in dark conditions, too. Other spec highlights include a new optional Webasto cab heater with remote control facility, and an air-suspended, ventilated seat with automatic weight adjustment up to 150kg.

The machine also comes equipped with a Tiltometer inclination indicator (Hoist Assistance). Located in the dashboard, this (always on) safety system shows the operator the angle the machine is operating at both laterally and longitudinally. If the machine reaches an unsafe angle the system warns the operator.

Hydrema will offer a large selection of models within the 912 series, with the possibility of different bodywork. One of the most widely used choices is the MultiTip swivel body. This system allows the load to be dumped over the side of the machine anywhere within a 90-degree angle and is ideal for working in confined spaces. The 912 can also be ordered as a chassis cab (Multichassis) to allow the fitting of other types of equipment like water tanks or salt spreaders and so on.

In addition, an optional three-point hitch attachment can be fitted to the front of the machine for a brush or blade attachment. The machine is also available fitted with our own designed and factory-fitted rail gear system.
