Perkins® 1200 Series delivers dependable power – delivered by BU Power Systems
In keeping with the company’s focus on quality, HBM-NOBAS carefully selected its engine suppliers. Following close collaboration with BU Power Systems, the decision for its 19-ton grader BG 180 TA‑7 was ultimately made to go with the Perkins® 1206J-E70TA – a six-cylinder engine that meets the EU Stage V emissions standard for. With an output of 151 kW and a maximum torque of 870 Nm at 1400 rpm, this engine offers high power density and reliability.
In the 14-ton HBM BG 120 TA‑7 grader, HBM-NOBAS have selected the Perkins® 1204J-E44TA, which is also fitted in the BG 110 M, 9‑ton special underground mining grader machine designed specifically for working in shallow tunnels. In the grader’s newly developed ROPS/FOPS comfort cab, the driver not only has an ideal all-round view, but also plenty of room and storage space and an emphasis on better noise and dust insulation.
To support both graders, the 1204J-E44TA 4‑cylinder power solution delivers a powerful 110 kW and 560 Nm of torque at 1400 rpm, while meeting Stage V emission standards. Designed with optimised fuel consumption in mind, the engine benefits from service free aftertreatment and 500-hour oil change intervals.
