Pronto Pick #2: Bronson’s Choice for Stability and Comfort - Hydrema Dumpers
Welcome to the second edition of Pronto Picks, where the Pronto Hire team shines a spotlight on their favourite gear from our hire fleet. This time, we asked our General Manager, Bronson Flett, who’s chosen one of our most sought-after and high-performing machines — the Hydrema dumper.
"If I had to pick one machine that ticks all the boxes for performance, reliability, and operator comfort — Hydrema dumpers would be it. They’re an absolute game-changer for earthmoving projects across Auckland, Waikato and Northland" – Bronson Flett, General Manager, Pronto Hire
Why Bronson Rates the Hydrema Brand So Highly
Hydrema is a Danish manufacturer known globally for its high-quality, durable earthmoving equipment. Every detail of a Hydrema machine is purpose built for real world site conditions. From soft, swampy ground to steep inclines, Hydrema dumpers can handle the exact terrain we see across our hire regions.
These tough machines combine speed, stability, and surprisingly low ground pressure, which is crucial for jobs where you need to protect haul roads, pasture, or sensitive environments.
Hydrema's can be used all year round, and don't stop for wet winter conditions. Use on snow, mud, gravel, clay - you name it, the Hydrema can handle it.
Bronson also notes “Hydrema models are built with driver comfort front of mind — from fully suspended cabs to intuitive control layouts. I’ve had operators come back at the end of the day saying they’re less fatigued, more productive, and actually enjoy driving these machines.
And a happy operator is a safer operator — it’s that simple."


Our Fleet: The Hydrema Models You’ll Want on Your Site
At Pronto Hire, we provide Hydrema dumper options to suit all job sizes and terrains:
Hydrema 912 12 Ton Articulated Dumper
“The Hydrema 912 is my go-to recommendation for clients working on civil sites, farm developments or small to medium infrastructure projects” says Bronson. "When other dumpers stop, the Hydrema keeps working hard in every season, and every condition"
Why Bronson rates the 912:
- Centralised 5.6m³ bin ensures even weight distribution
- Dual hydraulic rams keep equal ground pressure on all four wheels
- Fully air-suspended cab and power shift ZF transmission reduce operator fatigue and discomfort
- Tough enough to handle New Zealand winters without getting stuck in the mud


Hydrema 922 22-Ton, 6-Wheel Articulated Dumper
With a 22-ton payload, the Hydrema 922 is your answer to reducing cartage trips on bulk earthmoving jobs and large site clean-ups.
“This one’s built for serious volume - I recommend this beast for efficiency at scale. Its perfect for large subdivision prep, roading jobs or mining operations” says Bronson.
Why Bronson rates the Hydrema 922:
- Six-wheel articulated chassis for maximum traction
- Very low ground pressure despite high payload
- Designed to excel on uneven or muddy terrain
- Powerful engine that doesn’t compromise on fuel economy
- Nimble enough for confined work sites, while still carrying bulk loads
