The Legacy of 2021
The Hindustan brand has been recognized in India for over 50 years for its affordable, high-quality, ready-to-run, small wheel loaders and components. Hindustan products are proven to be reliable, and easy to use and maintain. They are sold within the region to compete with local brands.

“At GMMCO, we deliver the best machines, and we continuously expand our services to ensure that the machines get the right care. This is because we owe it to our customers to take care of the health of their machines. We offer benefits like a toll-free number for any service issue, parts delivery, and periodic service visits,” Prashant Harisingh Bisen, Senior VP – Construction, GMMCO.

Features of the new Hindustan 2021E Wheel Loader
The new Hindustan 2021E Wheel Loader has been designed and developed to set higher standards in productivity, fuel efficiency, and operator comfort. The improved optimized Z-bar loader linkage delivers the quick loading of a traditional Z-bar with the parallelism and load handling capability of a tool carrier. 2021E will continue to have the best lift height in its class with industry best dump clearance, which will be offered as a standard feature.

The 2021E has time-tested technology optimized for Indian customers. Its powerful turbo-charged, new BS4 compliant engine has improved fuel efficiency, more structural strength, and comes with the common rail fuel injection system for better engine life and reduction in exhaust gas emissions.

The new 2021E is connected wirelessly giving important health alerts to ensure maximum productivity. The 2021E also uses the Performance Series buckets for improved fill factor and reduced fuel consumption.

With all these features, coupled with the efficient product support from GMMCO, the new Hindustan 2021E will continue to dominate the market, much like its predecessor.
