Achieving the grade with GP Papenburg.

Based out of Nordhausen HBM-NOBAS, today, 120 employees develop, produce and sell construction machinery, steel and mechanical engineering components.

Known for its motor graders, the company manufactures them in various sizes and drive concepts from 4x4 to 6x4 to 6x6 all-wheel drive, all of which are used in more than 100 countries around the world. The entire process from development and design to final assembly has been carried out at the Nordhausen site in Thuringia since 1994.

Perkins^® 1200 Series delivers dependable power

In keeping the company’s focus on quality, HBM-NOBAS carefully selected its component suppliers to ensure they complemented its motor graders, with Perkins named as its preferred engine supplier. 

As Perkins is known for producing economical, powerful and efficient engines, HBM-NOBAS installed the Perkins^® 1206J-E70TA, a 6-cylinder offering, in its 19-ton grader BG 180 TA-7. Meeting EU Stage V, the power dense engine has a top power of 151 kW and delivers excellent torque of 870 Nm at 1400 rpm.

In the 14-ton HBM BG 120 TA-7 grader, HBM-NOBAS have selected the Perkins^® 1204J-E44TA, which is also fitted in the BG 110 M, 9-ton special underground mining grader machine designed specifically for working in shallow tunnels. In the grader’s newly developed ROPS/FOPS comfort cab, the driver not only has an ideal all-round view, but also plenty of room and storage space and an emphasis on better noise and dust insulation.

To support both graders, the 1204J-E44TA 4-cylinder power solution delivers a powerful 110 kW and 560 Nm of torque at 1400 rpm, while meeting Stage V emission standards. Designed with optimised fuel consumption in mind, the engine benefits from service free aftertreatment and 500-hour oil change intervals.
