In June, our customer Mühlviertler in Lasberg received a new XHD backhoe bucket 1700 FG5.5/6.0 for the Volvo EC530 from us. This robust bucket is perfectly equipped for tough use in quarries. With a trapezoidal blade, additional wear protection thanks to Esco Chockbloks, 10 weld-on corner protection plates, the powerful Esco UltraLock U60C teeth (Esco/Weir Group link) and an integrated ball guide, it masters every challenge. 💪🏻

We also successfully repaired an XHD 1700 FG5.5 backhoe bucket for the Volvo EC480. The trapezoidal blade, the Esco U60 tooth holders, parts of the side cutting edges, side guards and the ball guide were replaced. 🔧

Our commitment to quality and reliability ensures that our customers are always optimally equipped. Many thanks to our customer Mühlviertler for their trust! 🤗

Another successful product handover!

The special drilling system enables 360° rotation, 95° forward/backward and 2 x 30° lateral swivel -> ideal for precise vertical and horizontal row drilling.

It is also equipped with an automatic empty stroke, cavity protection and anti-jamming device as well as an automatic spot drilling system for gentle spot drilling. The best thing? Thanks to its own power supply, no electrical connections are required.

Thank you Josef for your trust and the good cooperation!

On January 31, 40 years ago, Alois Wimmer laid the foundation stone for the success story of the Wimmer Group.

He started at the Thalgau site in 1984 with three employees - initially mainly with bucket and undercarriage repairs. However, with the invention of the A-Lock hydraulic quick-change system, the company quickly developed into an overall concept for hydraulic excavators.

Today, the 2nd generation family business with Managing Director Andreas Wimmer has grown to around 90 employees (75 in Thalgau and 15 in Budweis). Attachments and drilling rigs are now developed and produced for every requirement. In recent years, Wimmer has also made a name for itself as a specialist in tunnel construction. The BlueBadgers tunnel excavator series and the latest new development, the yellow FOX, are successfully in use throughout Europe.

Thank you to the entire Wimmer team and our customers and partners! We look forward to the next exciting years with new challenges and projects!

When things are a little quieter in January, we like to use this time for training: In the 2nd week of January, our customer service coordinator Michael Schönleitner was in the Jura region with our long-standing customer Franken Schotter GmbH & Co. KG. The team in Petersbuch received two days of detailed training on service and maintenance work on the Jura Luna series drilling rigs.

The eBadger is located in Tournemire, central France. It is located in a former railroad tunnel, a test tunnel of the Institut de Radioprotection et de Sûreté nucléaire (IRSN). Over the next few months, a transverse tunnel will be driven into the clay rock with the 'electric'.

An exciting first mission for our electrified Badger! We will continue to report.

With Dario Moitzi and Herbert Innerhofer, two new faces are now part of the Wimmer team.

Dario Moitzi from Lower Austria will take care of our customers in Vienna, Burgenland, Styria and Carinthia. Herbert Innerhofer from Pinzgau will still be on the road in the coming months together with Georg Aichriedler in the west of Austria. We wish both colleagues a good start!

After a year's break, we were again present this year at MARMOMAC - the leading trade fair for the natural stone industry in Verona/Italy. Wimmer has been an absolute expert for drilling rigs for quarries for many years. At our booth we presented a Jura Luna Drill&Split in-line drilling rig, a Lobster stone grapple 6.0 and a single drilling rig AB 2300 T12.
