2019 Hydrema MX18 Base

2019 Hydrema MX18

The Hydrema MX series are smooth machines with breakout force, engine power, and digging features at the absolute top of its class!

The MX18 is the biggest machine in our range of wheeled excavators, a bigger counterweight and greater lifting capacity. Also the boom on the MX18 is 400mm (total 3800mm) longer than on the two smaller models. The dipper is available in lengths of 2.0 meter, 2.5 meter or 3.0 meter for all three models.

Features may include:

The shortest tail swing in its class significantly increases usability. The MX14, MX16, and MX18 are extremely compact compared to their competitors in the same weight class. The MX series works effectively even in confined spaces, such as narrow streets, busy roads, and other areas with limited space.

The environmentally-friendly Cummins QSB 4.5 stage 4 engine provides plenty of power for digging. An optimal excavator with high speed and breakout force provides a very productive machine which works powerfully despite its compact size. At the same time, the lifting force is among the best for compact excavators and is comparable to standard excavators.

The ROPS cab is among the biggest on the market, and it provides an excellent basis for a good working environment. Visibility is optimal, which increases safety at work. Keypad panels with CAN-BUS controlled operating system means easy and inteligent operation of the machine. The instrument panel has a diagnostic function for quick servicing and troubleshooting.

Access to the engine is quick and comfortable with electronic opening of the engine cover on the side of the machine. The opening to the engine and radiator is large, which enables access and servicing while standing on the ground.

If there is a need for access to the top of the machine where the large diesel tank and hydraulic pump are located, a built-in ladder is located underneath the left-hand side of the cab.

From the top of the machine, the hydraulic system can be accessed through a hatch.

A cover opens on the left-hand side of the cab for fuses and battery isolator.

High hydraulic power and wide range

A dual-circuit electronically-controlled hydraulic system effectively adjusts the hydraulic power for any task.There is also a hydrostatic high pressure system for the swing function, which gives the machine superior swing precision and low fuel consumption.

From the instrument panel, the operator can electronically adjust the optional hydraulic functions depending on the tools the machine is carrying and the oil flow and pressure required for the work.

The excavator’s range, digging depth, and strike height are among the best, which underscores the series’ versatility and usability. The dipper is available in lengths of 2.0 meter, 2.5 meter or 3.0 meter.
