AXLES

The MX18G wheeled excavator is equipped with high-performance ZF axles, which play a key role in its exceptional ability to perform in difficult conditions. A distinctive feature of the MX18G is its planetary reduction wheel hub, which provides increased torque and precise steering, making the machine particularly suitable for precise and challenging digging tasks.

In addition, each axle on the Hydremas MX18G is equipped with inbuilt brakes, enhancing the machine's impressive braking capacity during digging. The front axle is designed with a unique centre bolt and pendulum lock, which enables a pendulum angle of +/- 8º.

AXLES

The heart of the Hydremas MX18G is powered by a powerful Cummins B 4.5 L Stage 5 engine, which stands as a testament to exceptional strength and advanced engineering. This impressive engine is equipped with a 16-valve common-rail turbo diesel system that delivers an impressive 175 horsepower and 780 Nm of peak torque. The MX18G marks its dominance on the jobsite by combining superior power with outstanding efficiency, even in the most demanding working conditions. The machine's engine setup includes a large fuel tank and an AdBlue system, promoting economical fuel consumption and meeting strict environmental standards.

The MX18G also excels with its advanced hydrostatic transmission that guarantees constant all-wheel drive. This well-engineered transmission ensures a smooth driving experience and precise steering, thanks to an electronically controlled drive motor and a sophisticated two-speed soft-shift Powershift system. This system allows the driver to switch between manual and automatic gear settings, providing unrivalled control and adaptability in different terrain conditions. The MX18G's versatility allows it to adapt to both on-road and off-road conditions, ensuring a perfect balance between power and manoeuvrability.
