Medium excavator HW160

rubber-tiredTier 4 - intermediateconstruction

Overview
Step into the HW160 cabin and find a layout designed for productive, precise wheel-excavator work. The machine combines compact manoeuvrability with responsive power and intuitive controls for road construction, truck loading and small-site earthmoving.

Rugged performance and operator environment
The HW160 is built for versatility in confined sites and tight turning-radius tasks. A standard 8-inch colour LCD shows maintenance history and monitoring data and can display the rear-view camera. Hybrid screen mode allows simultaneous machine data and camera view. The spacious cab improves visibility; high-performance air conditioning, ample storage and an optional air-suspension seat increase operator comfort. Ergonomic joysticks and a floor pedal control two-way auxiliary functions. The standard reclining, height- and weight-adjustable suspension seat includes headrest and adjustable armrest. An emergency engine shut-off is located at the seat base.

Driveline, braking and travel
An advanced disc-brake system acts directly on the hub to avoid planetary-gear backlash and eliminate the rocking effect when working on wheels. The driveline delivers smoother travel, improved hydraulic retarding and better gear shifting for operator comfort during transit.

Operator aids and efficiency systems

• ECO Gauge: instant fuel-efficiency feedback and monitoring of average, hourly and daily consumption.
• Intelligent Power Control (IPC): adapts machine performance by regulating hydraulic pump output (speed, balance, efficiency modes).
• Optional Advanced Around View Monitoring (AAVM) with Intelligent Moving Object Detection (IMOD) provides a 360° overview and warns of people or objects within five metres.
• Centralised instrument cluster and large touchscreen for continuous machine-status and operating-parameter overview.
• Hi-Mate telematics: remote fleet management, productivity evaluation, service planning and geofencing to protect machines.
