Onetrak has introduced Hidromek’s new 35-36-tonne excavator, which has been designed to be shorter and lighter
Global manufacturer of construction machinery Hidromek has introduced the new HMK360 LC excavator to its range, designed to meet the needs of Australia’s 35–36-tonne market.
The HMK 360 LC comes standard with a 2.1 cubic metre excavation bucket, which weighs 170kg less than the dual radius (DR) bucket available on the HMK 390 LC HD model.
Hidromek official Australian dealer Onetrak says, compared to DR buckets, excavation buckets have a narrower width and a taller height, making them perfect for working in softer material such as soil, sand, gravel and other low-density material.
In the design phase of the HMK 360 LC, the objective was to create a machine that was both shorter and lighter than the HMK 390 LC HD model, Onetrak adds.
This was achieved by shortening the undercarriage length, which led to a reduction in the total number of shoes, rollers, and track guards, all tailored to the working environments of the HMK 360 LC model.
The results have also provided a longer boom and arm, greater digging reach and depth as well as a larger range in the dumping height.
Over 45,000 Hidromek machines are currently in operation across more than 100 countries on six continents.

The company has won over 20 international design awards including Red Dot Best of the Best, If Design, German Design, Automotive Brand Contest and Good Design.
Onetrak says Hidromek H4 series of excavators are renowned for its bright white exterior, paired with sleek red and black accents.
The cabins are spacious and comfortable, Onetrak adds, featuring an adjustable ergonomic air suspension seat and climate-controlled air conditioning.
Dual wipers ensure a clear view in all weather conditions and the cabin design reduces noise and vibrations, enhancing overall comfort.
