Robust, pre­cise, pow­er­ful: The Hymach HERBHY series with Perkins engines from BU Pow­er Systems

Found­ed in 1983, Hymach has grown from the very begin­ning by fol­low­ing a clear vision: to devel­op machines that are tru­ly use­ful, start­ing from direct dia­logue with oper­a­tors and from hands-on field expe­ri­ence. Active in the green main­te­nance sec­tor, the com­pa­ny has built its know-how through close col­lab­o­ra­tion with pro­fes­sion­als, trans­form­ing every­day oper­a­tional needs into con­crete, reli­able, high-per­for­mance solu­tions. From the out­set, Hymach chose to stand out by pri­or­i­tiz­ing design and man­u­fac­tur­ing qual­i­ty over pure­ly cost-dri­ven approach­es. Over time, this phi­los­o­phy has trans­lat­ed into a struc­tured and deter­mined capac­i­ty for inno­va­tion, result­ing in a broad and clear­ly rec­og­niz­able prod­uct range that reflects tech­ni­cal exper­tise, pas­sion for the prod­uct, and gen­uine atten­tion to func­tion­al­i­ty. Today, the offer­ing is struc­tured into three main prod­uct lines: boom mow­ers for trac­tors and oth­er vehi­cles, remote-con­trolled tracked tool car­ri­ers, and ded­i­cat­ed solu­tions for pho­to­volta­ic pan­el clean­ing. For over twelve years, Hymach has been equip­ping its remote-con­trolled tracked vehi­cles with Perkins diesel engines, a tech­nol­o­gy part­ner known world­wide for reli­a­bil­i­ty, per­for­mance and effi­cien­cy. This strate­gic choice is dri­ven by the need to ensure oper­a­tional con­ti­nu­ity, robust­ness, and con­sis­tent per­for­mance even under the most demand­ing work­ing con­di­tions and on com­plex terrain.

HERBHY 50 LE and HERBHY 50 CLE – Perkins 403J-E17T Series

The flag­ship mod­els of the HERBHY tool car­ri­er range are the 50 LE and the com­pact 50 CLE ver­sion. Both com­bine per­for­mance and agili­ty with a pow­er out­put of 50 hp (36 kW), deliv­ered by the three-cylin­der Perkins 403J-E17T tur­bo diesel engine. The HERBHY 50 LE stands out for its struc­tur­al strength and its abil­i­ty to oper­ate with heav­ier-duty attach­ments, while the HERBHY 50 CLE is char­ac­ter­ized by com­pact dimen­sions and max­i­mum agili­ty, mak­ing it ide­al for oper­a­tions where maneu­ver­abil­i­ty and speed of exe­cu­tion are crit­i­cal. Both mod­els fea­ture a robust extend­able under­car­riage with inde­pen­dent widen­ing of each track, a tech­ni­cal solu­tion that ensures high sta­bil­i­ty, opti­mal trac­tion, and oper­a­tional safe­ty on any type of sur­face. Per­for­mance is ful­ly expressed on steep slopes and extreme ter­rain, where the machines oper­ate with full con­trol on inclines of up to 55°.

HERBHY 60 LE and HERBHY Z60 LE – Perkins 404J-E22T Series

The HERBHY 60 LE ver­sion rep­re­sents a fur­ther step for­ward in terms of pow­er. Equipped with a 60 hp (45 kW) four-cylin­der Perkins engine, it deliv­ers high­er per­for­mance while main­tain­ing the han­dling, sta­bil­i­ty, and con­trol that char­ac­ter­izes the pre­vi­ous mod­el. This solu­tion is designed for users who require greater oper­a­tional capac­i­ty with­out com­pro­mis­ing work­ing pre­ci­sion. The machine is also avail­able in the Z60 con­fig­u­ra­tion, fea­tur­ing off­set tracks that allow oper­a­tion on uneven or stepped ter­rain, or in sit­u­a­tions where it is nec­es­sary to raise the under­car­riage to over­come obsta­cles along the work­ing path.

HERBHY 75 LE and HERBHY X – Perkins 404J-E22TA Series

In addi­tion to retain­ing all the fea­tures of the pre­vi­ous mod­els, the HERBHY 75 LE is equipped with a rein­forced frame and pow­er­ful sys­tems that make it suit­able for the most demand­ing appli­ca­tions, such as forestry oper­a­tions or earth­mov­ing. The lat­est project devel­oped by Hymach is the HERBHY X, a remov­able remote-con­trolled tracked tool car­ri­er fea­tur­ing a quick-cou­pling sys­tem, three-point hitch (Cat­e­gories I, II, and III), and DIN inter­face. This extreme­ly ver­sa­tile plat­form is designed to make the most of the company’s attach­ment fleet and adapt to a wide range of appli­ca­tions, includ­ing mulchers, chip­pers, agri­cul­tur­al, forestry, road main­te­nance, and earth­mov­ing equip­ment. At the heart of the HERBHY X is a 75 hp (55 kW) four-cylin­der Perkins Stage V engine, equipped with a bidi­rec­tion­al cool­ing sys­tem engi­neered to ensure max­i­mum effi­cien­cy even in dusty envi­ron­ments or under sig­nif­i­cant tem­per­a­ture fluc­tu­a­tions. Not just a machine, but a mul­ti-pur­pose plat­form designed to effec­tive­ly meet the needs of pro­fes­sion­als who must bal­ance pro­duc­tiv­i­ty, safe­ty, and oper­a­tional results on a dai­ly basis.

The choice of Perkins pow­er units stems from Hymach’s direct expe­ri­ence gained under extreme oper­at­ing con­di­tions. Thanks to their high build qual­i­ty and over­all per­for­mance, the engines installed on Hymach vehi­cles have proven par­tic­u­lar­ly well suit­ed to sup­port­ing high-per­for­mance hydraulic sys­tems, a core ele­ment in machine oper­a­tion. High torque and pow­er out­put, com­bined with low fuel con­sump­tion, robust­ness, and long-term reli­a­bil­i­ty, allow full exploita­tion of high-capac­i­ty hydraulic pumps while main­tain­ing con­sis­tent effi­cien­cy and pre­cise control.

“In this con­text, BU Pow­er Sys­tems has proven to be the ide­al part­ner, not only for the qual­i­ty of the solu­tions offered, but also for its exten­sive ser­vice net­work at both nation­al and glob­al lev­el — an essen­tial strate­gic val­ue for a man­u­fac­tur­er like Hymach, strong­ly focused on ser­vice con­ti­nu­ity, cus­tomer sat­is­fac­tion, and min­i­miz­ing machine down­time.” says Mon­i­ca Ric­ci – Busi­ness Oper­a­tion Manager.

A bal­ance of engi­neer­ing and design that trans­lates into tan­gi­ble val­ue for Hymach and for the pro­fes­sion­als who work in the field every day, tack­ling com­plex oper­a­tional chal­lenges with reli­able, high-per­for­mance tools designed to last overtime.
