(HEERBRUGG, SWITZERLAND) “ Leica Geosystems, a Hexagon company, announced today its Leica Ready machine control kits will now be offered on Hidromek motor graders, a globally known manufacturer of construction machinery.

The Hidromek Grader HMK600MG will now be supported with a new cable kit for the Leica iCON iGG2, iGG3 and iGG4  machine control solutions for motor grader guidance. The new integration, with no hydraulic kit needed, improves the working efficiency and productivity of grader operators.

With our new working relationship with Hidromek, we're grateful to bring new opportunities to machine operators worldwide now and in the future, said Leica Geosystems Machine Control Director of Product Management Kris Maas. With this integration, we reaffirm our commitment to bringing more efficient and productive, and safer solutions to the heavy construction industry.
