6231 Hanix Europe claims that its new generation D series H55 mini excavators is are more comfortable to operate and offers higher performance. Built in Japan, the zero tailswing H55DR unit is said to be reliable, even in tough operating conditions and features robust construction. Compact in design the H55DR can be used inside confined areas but provides a digging radius of over 6m and a digging depth of over 4m, while it can turn in under 3m. A low centre of gravity ensures stability and the machine has a large cab with good all-round visibility, as well as vibration damping, while air-conditioning is available as an option.
The hydraulic system is load sensing, with power take-off valves allowing the use of bucket rotation devices and other equipment such as breakers.
