Ring Power Corporation has been appointed as an authorized dealer of the Hydrema 912HM-model dump truck for the entire state of Florida. The 912HM, a completely new model that provides accessibility off road, side dumping capabilities and low ground pressure, will be available for rental or purchase through the CAT Rental Store.

The key to the performance of the 912HM lies in the articulated pivot steer chassis, according to the manufacturer. The center pivot and hydraulic stabilizers keep the machine stable and safe by automatically transferring the weight where it is needed. The chassis ensures that all wheels constantly track to reduce ground contact and the standard twin tires offer additional traction with minimum ground damage. The centrally placed pivot increases maneuverability with a low turning radius and better positioning characteristics.

The 912HM comes standard with a completely new suspension system for extraordinary comfort. It has the same Perkins engine and ZF transmission as the Hydrema 912DS model, with 131 hp (97.6 kW) and a 6-speed transmission.

“We feel the overall quality and the versatility of the side dump feature makes this the best articulated truck in its size class,” said SVP Director of Rental Services Kevin Robbins.” The Hydrema personnel have done a great job training our personnel as well as providing support for these trucks in our rental fleet.”
