History of Kawasaki Machinery
In 1962
This is the first rotary snowplow for the first time since the establishment of the Japan Snow Plow Factory. The model uses a 2-cycle diesel engine 170ps and uses a torque converter system for power transmission.
In 1965
The UH03 finally surpassed the imported excavator, which was a single system in terms of operability and work performance, by using two hydraulic paths. Even in the development of UH05 and UH06, which are UH03 upgrade machines, Kawasaki Heavy Industries has realized dramatic improvements in the performance of hydraulic equipment.
In 1976
The Kawasaki Machinery Company started developing industrial gas turbines based on its proprietary design. In 1976, the Kawasaki GPS200, Japan’s first gas turbine generator, produce and attained type approval under the Fire Services Act. The next year, in 1977, the GPS200.
won the Minister of Construction prize, the top prize at the Electric Equipment Industry Exhibition. Kawasaki went on to expand Japan’s market for gas turbine generators. The Company also developed proprietary cogeneration systems, the GPC series, in 1983.
Also, the Model HTR200 realized in the same year. Although it is a medium model, it is the main model that accounts for 60 to 70% of sales. The world’s first center pin steering mechanism and construction machine inherited the basic idea of the MR12 type small snowplow for sidewalks equipped with the first HST (hydrostatic transmission) in Japan and the improved MR120 type. HST is a transmission that can be controlled at ultra-low speed compared to a torque converter, and the HTR200 type adopts a body refraction type plus HST so that it is difficult for the vehicle to come into contact with the snow wall when the steering wheel is turned for rear-wheel drive. It was solved.
In 2016
Model HTR308 The latest machine that supports a wide range of snow removal work, from carrying snow removal to widening snow removal in mountains and urban areas. The maximum snow removal amount is 3,000t / h at 2.2m width and 3,100t / h at 2.6m width. The minimum turning radius is 6.1m, the smallest turning in its class, and excellent work operability for removing snow at intersections in urban areas. Model HTR408 launched in the same year, it can fully demonstrate its characteristics as a large machine for snow removal on airfields and highways that require speedy work as well as highways and mountain roads in heavy snowy areas. The maximum snow removal amount is 2.6m wide and 4,200t / h, which is a rotary snowplow with dynamic power.
