Hidromek backhoe loaders
Several factors have contributed to the rapid growth of Hidromek backhoe loaders:
- The use of parts from more well-known companies in its configuration, which increases the reliability of the equipment and its recognition;
- The backhoe loader's predisposition to the harsh climate of our country. The engine is made in such a way that it can start even at very low air temperatures. Of course, this can only be achieved by using high-quality fuel;
- Low costs for the supply of equipment from official factories. The Hidromek company is located in Turkey, so moving the equipment will be quick and uncomplicated.
During its existence, the company has produced many pieces of construction equipment, which have gained immense popularity and are used everywhere.
One of these machines was the hidromek hmk 102s backhoe loader. Its main advantages and features will be discussed.

*Specifications and equipment may vary by package.
MORE SPACE, MORE COMFORT CAB EQUIPMENT
• Adjustable steering column • High-sided floor mat • Trim panels • Powerful heating and air conditioning (A/C) (optional) • Cooled storage compartment (optional) • Overhead shelf • Ergonomic control panels and handbrake • MP3 player • Ergonomic and aesthetic hammer pedal • One-piece rear window • Mechanical boom lock • FOPS and ROPS certified cab design
Engine
The ALPHA series engine is one of the most economical and reliable in its class.
The 4,400 cm³ turbocharged engine provides high torque even at low speeds.
Transmission
6 forward gears 3 reverse gears
Fully automatic transmission, fully automatic transmission with 6 forward gears and 3 reverse gears used in the ALPHA series contributes to smooth driving. An optional fuel-saving torque converter lock-up feature is automatically activated in 5th and 6th gears.
MSS (Motion Stability System) The optional MSS (Motion Stability System) acts as a shock absorber on the lift cylinders of the loader. By absorbing the shock that occurs when the loader bucket is completely filled when working on uneven terrain, it provides a comfortable ride that is not only smooth, but also fast.
Heavy Duty Axles Heavy duty axles are installed on the ALPHA series for both load carrying and long service life.
HIGH EFFICIENCY, THE RIGHT CHOICE!
Power Flow Valves
For efficient hydraulic force performance and to prevent cavitation, an in-line option on the boom and arm with an additional regeneration function has been added to the co-flow valves.
LSD: Limited-slip differential and differential lock
Superior traction is provided by a limited-slip differential (LSD) mounted on the front axle and a differential lock on the rear axle to prevent skidding when driving on gravel, mud or ice. Consequently, tire change intervals, duty cycles and fuel economy increase.
LEAVE ALPHA DO THE HARD WORK!
The ALPHA series is designed for work in harsh conditions. One of the characteristics that distinguishes the ALPHA series is the high productivity of the front loader. Thanks to the breakout force of the ALPHA series bucket and arm, the machine moves the load without stress. The heavy-duty boom design is designed to last for many years.
The 6-in-1 loading bucket, with a volume of 1.1 m³, provides a high level of loading. Thanks to the carefully designed geometry of the bucket, its most efficient use is achieved.
The adjustable blade, secured with a bolt-on system, can be used on both sides, is easily repositioned by the operator and requires no maintenance. The hinged connection of the opening/closing cylinders of the gripper prevents damage to the cylinders due to lateral loads during cargo transportation. Thanks to the proportional control button on the front control lever, easy control is provided for the operator, the speed and grip angle can be easily adjusted.
TIPSHIFT (Forward and Backward Motion Control)
Forward-backward motion control on the front loader control arm allows the operator to maneuver faster during loading operations. The operator has easier control, so he can concentrate on the loading process. When loading and maneuvering in confined spaces, the operator controls loading and forward-backward movement from one place, without releasing the steering wheel, using the TIPSHIFT button, which guarantees safety and comfort for the operator without losing control of the steering wheel and control of the loader.
All these little details and innovations have been thought out to save you time and operating costs.
Excavation, removal and crushing...
The ALPHA Series of backhoe loaders are designed to withstand extreme weather and operating conditions thanks to their unibody design and optional efficient hydraulic system that provides maximum breakout force even at low speeds and a maximum oil flow of 163 l/min.
An optional rear joystick on ALPHA models provides easy control when lifting and lowering the bucket where operator precision is required. Joysticks that can be adjusted independently of each other provide an ergonomic working environment.
Working long hours on an excavator is a pleasure with the ALPHA series, with its wide visibility and ergonomics.
The ALPHA Series features excellent weight distribution and wide stabilizers for safer excavation on wet surfaces. The additional hydraulic line, included in the standard package of the hydraulic hammer and attachments, does not interfere with the view during excavation and is not damaged during deep excavation.
The shock-absorbing system in the excavation cylinders softens end-of-stroke movements, absorbs shock and extends machine life.
The telescopic arm, with a digging depth of up to 5.8 m, gives an advantage in deep mining and work requiring a long reach.
What could be more satisfying than working without any problems?

Engine
The excavator motor is created according to all modern standards and technologies, therefore it has excellent performance and efficiency. PERKINS 1104C-44TT includes 4 cylinders arranged in one row. The highest torque can reach 415 Nm or 1350 rpm.
A hydromechanical gearbox is installed here, which has the ability to shift when the clutch is not completely disengaged.
This helps a lot when working under high load. Number of speeds - 8 (4 forward and 4 reverse).
Wheel formula
Hidromek hmk 102s is equipped with a unique 4x4x4 wheel arrangement, which allows you to work even in the most cramped conditions. This is due to the fact that you can choose one of two methods of movement. This includes “track to trail” and “crab” driving. The ability to control all four wheels allows the vehicle to turn almost around its axis.
All excavator wheels have the same diameter, which increases its stability and maneuverability. This also makes it possible to reach high speeds without losing confidence in the handling and control of the loader.
