The NM-Truck is a 7-ton truck-mounted hydraulic boom and bucket unit for cleaning roadside open drains and ditches — the largest unit in the NM-series range, with the deepest reach and the largest collection body.

The NM-Truck draws hydraulic power from the vehicle's own engine through a fitted PTO. The operator sits at the machine itself, directly beside the ditch, rather than offset at the center of a backhoe — making it far easier to judge reach and avoid damaging the ditch side walls. A telescopic side-hoe box section extends up to 800mm for better reach and visibility into the ditch, while the articulated-cum-telescopic boom — mounted on a heavy-duty slewing ring bearing — swings through 90 degrees and reaches up to 5m out and 3m deep. The bucket scoops silt and solid material out of the ditch and empties it directly into the truck-mounted collection body, eliminating the need to re-handle silt dumped on the ground. Once full, the body hydraulically tips to empty at the disposal site.
The NM-Truck ships with the standard ditch bucket, and can be quick-attached with a 4-jaw grab bucket on the same boom for a different kind of job:
Swapping between the two is a quick-attach change on the same boom — no other modification needed.

Down to about 3 meters below ground level, with an arm radius of roughly 5 meters — the deepest and widest reach in the NM-series range.
Yes — a 4-jaw grab bucket is available as a quick-attach option on the same boom, rated to the same lifting capacity as the standard ditch bucket, and suited to loose garbage or landfill waste rather than compacted silt.
2.5 to 3 cubic meters, with hydraulic tipping to empty at the disposal site — the largest body in the NM-series range.
The NM-Truck reaches roughly 5m out and 3m deep, compared to the NM-Bolero's 3.3m outreach and 1.5m depth, and carries a larger collection body — better suited to deeper, wider ditches and higher-volume jobs.
