Wheeled Excavators

Hydrema’s Wheeled Excavator is engineered for urban civil work – water authorities, utilities, councils, road maintenance contractors and anyone whose work moves between job sites multiple times per day.

Like the Hydrema backhoes, the City Excavator can travel between sites at full road speed under its own power. The articulated chassis and compact dimensions make it ideal for city centre work where tracked excavators are slow to move and damage road surfaces.

If your work involves trenching, utility installation and repair across multiple urban sites, the Hydrema City Excavator pays for itself in transport time savings alone. Talk to STM about availability.
