It's a vast range and it won't end there. We have a portfolio of around two dozen products still in the approval or development phase that will be presented to the market in due course. The company's innovative and entrepreneurial philosophy is also reflected in what we offer our customers. It is our mission to offer a wide range of products, always at a competitive price, whether on the national or international market. We know that Herculano is synonymous with reliability and this factor is always taken into account when we create something. It's a source of pride for us as an institution to receive pictures every day of our products that have been working for a long time, or to see a Herculano implement working in the field.

The importance we attach to this type of offer, and the hard, daily work that goes on in this company, is constant. Our "My Herculano" product configurator is further proof of the hard work and commitment of this incredible team. Today we are able to offer users of our products, our customers and possible future buyers what they have always been looking for. With this application, they can obtain information about our implements, as well as configure their own product. Not only the agents who represent us can use it, but also anyone else who downloads the app. This way, everyone can design their own trailer, tanker, spreader or any other implement they need in their daily lives.

There is always room to improve and progress, we have released several versions with corrections and improvements so that this new technology is a work and consultation tool available to anyone.

The future looks promising, and many more new features will appear in our range of products.

Equipment: HDPA 25 Herculano

Client: Allan Noble

Sector of activity: Granite quarrying and some varied agricultural work

Partner Herculano: Ground Gear, Australia

Eugowra is the name of the small town in the Lachlan River basin where Allan Noble and his son Lachlan have their farm.

In addition to their agricultural business, they also operate a busy open-cast quarry that is highly recognized for its red and white decomposed granite, which makes it desirable for all types of civil and housing projects, including roads and residential subdivisions.

Since buying this 25-ton Herculano dumper in 2017, the family has always kept the machine busy, moving 10 to 15 loads a day. One of the features they value most is the loading height, which is lower than any other tipper trailer on the market, allowing them to load it more easily.

Comparing this tractor-trailer combination with an articulated lorry widely used in this industry, Allan is convinced that he made the right purchase decision.

"The build quality of this trailer is incredible. Nothing can break it!"

Another feature he mentions is the trailer's maneuverability, which allows him to access any point in the quarry with ease. He also highlights the safety and stability on uneven ground resulting from the two lateral hydraulic tipping cylinders, especially when compared to the single cylinder used on trucks.

They were also very impressed with the solidity and design of the chassis, which allows for a perfect fit with the box, as well as the wheels specially designed to withstand heavy loads and for optimum handling in tight bends.

Before buying his Dumper, Allan says that his John Deere 8000 Series tractor was an underused asset that spent much of the year idle. With the Herculano trailer, the tractor is now working almost every day, easily transporting loads of 24 to 26 tons.

Despite granite being one of the hardest and most abrasive rocks, Allan says that the HARDOX steel box has held up very well, especially considering the tons of rock that have been moved.

"The years go by and this 6 mm hardened steel shows hardly any signs of wear," he says, "it's shining like a silver plate."

"The other advantage of HARDOX is its high strength-to-weight ratio compared to other types of steel. This lightens the load and helps reduce wear and tear on my tractor and the trailer itself."
