When Space Is Limited, Performance Doesn’t Have to Be: Meet the Hydrema 922G 2.55

The Hydrema 922G 2.55 is a specialised 20‑tonne articulated dump truck engineered for jobsites where space is restricted but performance cannot be compromised. This narrow‑profile version of the proven 922G retains all the power and capability of the standard model while reducing the overall width to just 2.55 metres. Its slimmer construction makes the 922G 2.55 the perfect solution for urban worksites, tight‑access jobs, and projects where manoeuvrability is critical—without sacrificing the strength and reliability Hydrema is known for.

At the heart of the machine is a Cummins B 6.7‑litre 6‑cylinder engine, delivering 231 kW (314 hp) at 2200 rpm and 1288 Nm of torque at 1500 rpm. Paired with a ZF transmission offering 6 forward gears (up to 50 km/h) and 3 reverse gears (up to 31 km/h) in both automatic and manual modes, this powertrain provides the responsiveness and control needed for demanding haul cycles. With a maximum tractive effort of 223 kN, the 922G 2.55 supplies the traction and pulling power required for steep gradients, soft ground, and uneven terrain.

The machine’s advanced suspension is engineered for stability and smooth performance. The front axle features hydraulic suspension with independent levelling and a differential lock, ensuring consistent handling on uneven surfaces. At the rear, a heavy‑duty bogie/tandem axle with a central pivot enables each wheel pair to articulate independently and follow ground contours. This design keeps all six wheels firmly in contact with the terrain—maximising traction, improving operator control, and enhancing safety even in challenging conditions.

Safety is integral to every Hydrema design, and the 922G 2.55 is equipped with intelligent systems to protect both operator and machine. Hoist Assistance, featuring an in‑cab tilt indicator, alerts the operator if tipping becomes unsafe. A brake monitoring system provides early warnings of potential overheating, ensuring braking performance remains reliable during heavy or continuous operation.

The 922G 2.55 also excels in tipping efficiency. Separate pumps for steering and body functions allow operators to position the truck while raising or lowering the body, shortening cycle times and boosting productivity. The multifunction joystick offers smooth, controlled tipping with soft starts and stops, while the auto body return function automatically lowers the body after dumping to prepare for the next load.

Inside the cab, the 922G 2.55 sets the benchmark for operator comfort and safety. The spacious, easy‑to‑clean interior is complemented by wide‑opening doors for secure access in all conditions. The air‑suspended, ventilated seat with integrated multi‑joystick controls ensures intuitive, comfortable operation throughout long shifts. Entry to the cab is positioned safely away from the articulation point, providing a clear line of sight and reducing risk when approaching the machine.

And just like Hydrema’s highly successful watercarts, the 922G 2.55 continues the brand’s reputation for unmatched reliability, productivity, and operator comfort. Owners who have experienced the durability and performance of Hydrema watercarts can trust that the same engineering excellence, build quality, and operator‑focused design carries through every Hydrema machine. The growing popularity of the Hydrema watercart range has shone a spotlight on the brand— and the 922G 2.55 is positioned to build on that success, showcasing the innovation that defines the entire Hydrema lineup.

Compact, powerful, and built for today’s demanding worksites, the Hydrema 922G 2.55 delivers premium performance where space is tight and productivity is essential—making it the smart choice for owners who refuse to compromise.
