Hidromek presents its first telescopic handler and 80-tonne giant excavator

Hidromek presents its own telescopic handler for the first time, thereby expanding its machine portfolio. At the same time, an 80-ton excavator with a bucket volume of five cubic meters celebrates its premiere - designed for tough use in mining.

Telescopic loader with 18 meter lifting height as a new segment for Hidromek

The new telehandler marks a significant step for Hidromek: it is the first machine of its kind in the manufacturer's portfolio. While comparable machines are already established on the market, this model marks Hidromek's entry into a new product category. The telescopic handler presented at the trade fair for the first time achieves a lifting height of up to 18 meters and is designed for loads of up to four tons. Equipped with a Kubota engine and classic driver's cab, the machine can be used flexibly - for example for transporting small cars, freight or construction site materials.

The decision in favor of this machine class is the result of growing demand in the market. Although Hidromek was previously mainly represented in the heavy excavator sector, the company has recognized the need and responded in a targeted manner. The telehandler marks the start of a new phase that will pave the way for further models. The design and concept were already well received at the trade fair presentation.

Entry into the heavy-duty sector: 80-ton excavator for mining

Alongside the new telescopic handler, Hidromek is presenting an excavator with an operating weight of 80 tons for the first time. The machine surpasses the manufacturer's previous models, which previously weighed a maximum of 50 tons. With a bucket capacity of five cubic meters, the new large excavator is aimed specifically at requirements in the mining industry, where enormous forces are required.

These machines are used all over the world - particularly in the USA, in various African regions and in parts of Asia. The demand for particularly powerful machines in these markets has prompted Hidromek to push ahead with the development of heavy-duty machines and strategically expand its portfolio.

Production in Ankara and logistically optimized delivery

The large machines are manufactured in Hidromek's new production facility in Ankara. In order to make transportation logistics as efficient as possible, the excavators are dismantled into individual parts for shipping and kept compact. Mechanical measures ensure a space-saving solution, particularly for chain storage. They are delivered by cargo ship and transported onwards to the place of use by container and truck.

This modular design means that the machines can be used anywhere in the world without transportation or assembly costs being too high. At the same time, the necessary stability is maintained during operation - a decisive factor for large machines in tough terrain.

Flexible application options thanks to modular attachments

Another advantage of the new machines is their compatibility with different attachments. The machines can be equipped with buckets, hydraulic hammers or even shears, resulting in a wide range of applications. Whether for rock excavation, earthworks or the use of special tools - the machines are designed for a wide range of requirements.

The flexibility in the choice of attachments significantly increases operational efficiency, as the machine can be quickly converted depending on project requirements. This versatility is a decisive competitive factor, especially on the international market.
