As a manufacturer of special application excavators designed specifically for demolition, HCME is pleased to join the EDA, which represents national associations, contractors and suppliers, and promotes and protects the interests of the industry in Europe.

HCME is committed to delivering reliable customer-centric solutions, and uses extensive research and innovation to develop market-leading products and services. Its vision to become the first-choice solutions provider is driven by a dedication to help build a better future for all.

HCM demolition machines have been developed to meet the needs of those working in the industry. Based on standard models, they have several options to add strength and durability for working in challenging environments, and increased safety for operators in the cab. Fitted with mono, two- or three-piece booms, they can reach up to 40m. HCM also introduced specially reinforced multi-carrier models for demolition projects at Bauma last year, including the ZX400MC-7 and ZX600MC-7.
