have operating weights of 16, 23 and 39 t respectively, and are
designed to be fast, productive and efficient.
While the HMK 145 excavator model has a more compact design
that makes it suitable for projects in urban locations, the larger HML
230 and HMK 390 are suitable for more demanding tasks - such as
those involving aggregates and quarrying materials.
The two larger machines offer significant improvements over the
models in the manufacturer’s previous equipment range.
Thanks to shorter cycle times, bigger bucket capacities and faster
operational speeds, both excavators are 17% more productive
than their respective predecessors.
Improvements to the attachment and hydraulic systems also mean
that the HMK 230 is 21% more efficient, while the HMK 390 is 14%
more efficient.
Alongside these, the Turkish manufacturer is also showing the HMK
