Guiding the way to perfect grades

By using the Hidromek HMK 600MG Motor Grader with Leica machine control systems, users can achieve high precision levels and perfect trims.

Hidromek first started making motor graders after acquiring the motor grader unit of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in 2013.

The purchase included MHI's production facilities in Thailand along with the company's technology, design know-how, and after-sales operations.

Over the past few years, the manufacturer has used this knowledge to full effect, releasing a number of well-received models, each one surpassing the previous in terms of increased power and advanced features.

Now, paired with the cutting-edge Leica 3D GPS machine control system, the latest motor grader — the HMK 600MG — reaches a new level of precision, efficiency, and productivity, making it a serious contender on any job site where accuracy and grading performance are critical.

The machine has already been gaining plaudits for its robust build, operator-friendly design, and responsive hydraulics and performance.

At the heart of this technology is the Leica iCON iGG3, a cutting-edge 3D machine control solution designed specifically for motor graders.

Using real-time GNSS positioning and advanced 3D design models, the iGG3 system guides the blade with pinpoint accuracy, automatically adjusting elevation and cross slope without the need for traditional stakes or manual grade checking.
