The new Alpha series will be presented for the first time at Intermat. The HMK 102B is a rigid chassis backhoe loader with 4x4 drive, with a turbo diesel engine and a fully automatic power-shift transmission. The company said that the HMK 102B Alpha series backhoe loaders offered low fuel consumption and high productivity in its class.

The HMK 102S is a 4x4x4 machine with the same engine and transmission, it also provides four-wheel steering.

Both machines can be equipped with various attachments such as hydraulic breakers, clamshell buckets, grading blades, augers, etc, the company said.

Hidromek claimed to be the leading Turkish manufacturer for backhoe loaders and hydraulic excavators, and said they were completely designed and manufactured in-house. In 2013, the company acquired the motor grader business of Japan’s Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, a deal which included the production facilities in Thailand as well as its product know-how, technology and aftersales services capabilities.
