Maximum capabilities with minimum gadgets
FM Bouwmachines - division of KHB (Kempens Heftruckbedrijf) - is a young company with a rich history. Founded by Matthias and Maurits Foets in 2017, the company belongs to a group of companies specializing in machine tools for construction companies, logistics, recycling...
The Diest-based company offers sales, rental and service of all types of construction machinery - from mini excavators to large excavators, wheel loaders, dumpers, breakers, and so on. In addition to being an exclusive dealer of Yanmar Compact Equipment, FM Bouwmachines is also a Belgian importer of the Turkish-European brand Hidromek.
Jasper Bartholomeeussen, sales manager FM Construction Machinery: “We more than hold our own in the ‘excavator world’ by offering outstanding service. With us, no impersonal phone operators or unnecessary call transfers. We always engage in conversation and every technician with us knows his customers personally. It is therefore no exception that we have a pleasant chat at the counter and a quiet cup of coffee. This is how real long-term business relationships are created.”
One of the top performers at FM Construction Machinery is the Japanese brand Yanmar, with its mini-excavators. They are designed to offer outstanding performance in a compact design. The machines combine power, dexterity and stability to make every workday even more productive. The mini-excavators with ultra-short turning radius also offer easy access anywhere, making them suitable for just about any application.
Bartholomeeussen: “The special thing about this brand is that they offer maximum capacities with a minimum of ‘gadgets’. They would rather use a little stronger steel for their machines than yet another extra camera or ‘read-out’ capability. This simplicity ensures that little to nothing breaks down. As a result, we offer up to a five-year warranty here with no problem. You don't do that if you're not sure of your piece.”
FM Bouwmachines also recently introduced Hidromek's HMK 145 LCSR indoor turner to the Belgian market. The indoor turner produces more work with less fuel, offering maximum efficiency and productivity for the operator. The machine ensures superior performance on all terrains and under all conditions with its excellent maneuverability and ease of use thanks to its powerful engine, speed and short swing radius. In turn, the technological equipment and electronic system provide top-level safety and comfort for the operator.
Bartholomeeussen said, “With its compact structure, the HMK 145 LCSR offers operators powerful and precise operation, especially in urban areas. The indoor rotary loader has no rear overhang and a shorter swing radius compared to standard designed machines, making it an ideal machine for small spaces. Add to that the high lifting capacity, and you just know you have a winner.”
Bartholomeeussen: “Hidromek's machines find many customers with us. Because our customers have noticed the very high reliability of those machines. The robust machines - in our workshop we can even weight them up to 18 tons! - achieve very high profitability. Because they remain as compact, so it has little impact on consumption. They are ideally suited for installing cisterns, foundations, steel structures, and so on. We at FM Construction Machinery also like to cater to the convenience of the operators. And there, too, Hidromek meets us with ergonomic seats and very spacious cabs, which significantly increase visibility for operators. In times where safety and working comfort play an increasingly important role, this is not an insignificant fact.”
