Hercules Machinery Group’s new wheeled excavator and compact track loaders are available now
It’s been full steam ahead for Hercules Machinery Group (HMG) in the first couple months of 2026, with a brand-new equipment range recently landing at the business’ yard in Yatala, Queensland.
Looking to diversify its equipment offering, HMG has introduced a new excavator and two compact track loader models in the Hercules brand, complementing its already-existing Sunward lineup.
These new Hercules models mark the brand’s introduction to the excavator and compact track loader product categories, giving HMG customers even more options for their earthmoving equipment needs.
Having never previously offered wheeled excavators, the business has filled this hole in its lineup with the new 15-tonne HMG 150W model. Featuring a 150hp (110.3kW) genuine Cummins engine, this excavator serves as the first of many upcoming HMG wheeled models.
Compared to traditional crawler excavators, HMG sales executive Steven Ragenovich says wheeled options offer greater speed and flexibility, making them suited to a variety of civil works such as road construction.
This is evident through the HMG 150W’s 36km/h maximum travel speed, which enables fast repositioning of the machine onsite.
Double tyres are also fitted to the excavator for optimal traction, while hydraulic outriggers provide balance by allowing the operator to level the machine and keep it stable on uneven ground.
A 180-degree tilting hitch comes as standard for fast switching of attachments, such as the 1,150mm GP bucket and 670mm trenching bucket which also come as standard.
In addition, the wheeled excavator has a hydraulic dozer blade, double auxiliary piping, hydraulic burst valves, and an inbuilt electric refuelling pump.
“The HMG 150W is built for power, safety and serious productivity,” Ragenovich says.
“It is engineered for the toughest worksites, coming with a certified ROPS/FOPS cabin, certified roof guard, handrails, and a reverse camera to keep operators protected in all conditions.
“Whether you’re trenching, loading, lifting, or tackling tough civil works, the HMG 150W is built to get the job done safely, efficiently, and with serious grunt.”
Compact powerhouses
Rounding out the new Hercules lineup are the HMG 100T and 85T compact track loaders, designed to access tight spaces without compromising the power needed for the toughest of jobs.
From dirt to driveways, Ragenovich says these Hercules models are well-suited for earthmoving, material handling, site preparation and landscaping.
“Both models are set to complement the Hercules wheel loaders and telehandlers for both civil construction and agriculture applications,” he says.
“These compact powerhouses are ready to crush the constraints of your job site. Whether you’re scooping, lifting, or trenching, the Hercules track loaders power through where others choke.”
The 5.2-tonne HMG 100T boasts a 100hp (74.6kW) Kubota engine and offers a rated operating load of 1.5-tonnes, while the 4.5-tonne HMG 85T features an 85hp (62.5kW) Kubota engine with a 1.1-tonne rated operating load.

As standard, both models feature Danfoss drive motors, a hydraulic quick hitch and four-in-one bucket, including a bolt-on cutting edge, not to mention high flow hydraulics.
“The HMG 100T and 85T track loaders swap tools fast to keep you rolling,” Ragenovich says.
“You can use a variety of attachments on the track loaders for whatever your job demands, including buckets, augers, grapples, hydraulic hoes, power rakes and even slashers.”
Comfort is a key aspect of these machines, with operators benefiting from an electric suspension seat, high flow AC, a reverse camera, and a door that slides up over their head – enabling it to be opened even when the machine’s arms are up.
“The HMG 100T and 85T models have arrived and are a new Hercules entity to add to our current stable of compact track loaders,” Ragenovich says.
“Fuel-efficient yet gutsy, these are the machines you can call on when the job won’t wait.”
