HKM DC03 Drum Cutter

HKM DRUM CUTTERS – DC03

HKM DC03 Drum Cutter is a compact yet powerful cutting attachment engineered for carriers in the 0.7–4 ton class. Its low-vibration operation supports precise cutting and excavation in confined spaces, while the high-torque drive and optimized pick arrangement provide efficient performance in concrete, soft rock and similar materials.

With an operating weight of 160 kg and a required power of 22 kW, DC03 combines compact dimensions with efficient hydraulic performance. Its 44 picks and 1,500 Nm output torque enable controlled material removal for light infrastructure, trenching and profiling work.

The compact body and low-noise operating characteristics make DC03 especially suitable for urban worksites, landscaping and applications where access, precision and limited disturbance are important.

A 360 mm drum diameter, 160 mm single drum width and 450 mm cutting width make it well suited to controlled cutting, trenching and precise surface profiling in restricted areas. Its compact cutting geometry also improves maneuverability in urban infrastructure and landscaping projects with limited access.
