HKM DC05 Drum Cutter

HKM DRUM CUTTERS – DC05

HKM DC05 Drum Cutter is a compact and powerful cutting attachment designed for carriers in the 5–7 ton class. Its low-vibration design enables 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 490 kg and a required power of 22 kW, DC05 offers an efficient solution for on-site material processing. Equipped with 48 picks and 3,780 Nm output torque, it performs effectively across applications ranging from light infrastructure work to curb profiling.

Its compact body and low-noise operation make DC05 an ideal choice for urban projects, landscaping and precision profiling applications where controlled cutting and reduced disturbance are required.

A 440 mm drum diameter, 255 mm single drum width and 600 mm cutting width provide a balanced working envelope for trenching, surface preparation and precision profiling. These dimensions combine controlled material removal with practical surface coverage on compact carriers, supporting productivity in utility and curb work.
