About the design

Gen Series was designed with the understanding of "Creating Operator of Hidromek" to make users feel comfortable and relaxed like working at office and running the machine without any difficulty. Joysticks, heated-air suspension seat and adjustable armrest are designed to be adjusted separately from each other with the conception of Hidromek Operator that must be able to control whole machine from his/her seat ergonomically and comfortably. Most important and unique design feature of Gen series is Opera (Operator Interface). Opera is a compact control unit that gathers throttle level, menu-working settings, illumination-wiper and audio systems functions together. Beside this, for comfortable working conditions, automatic air conditioned systems is located inside the cab. Therefore, operator can follow the machine functions and backside view through a camera from TFT display. Operator can both follow the basic functions from this display and change the setting from menu. Many mechanical values is being used in excavators like other construction machines. By using modern and dynamics forms with design tricks and color options, visual completeness is aimed to be achieved.
