HSM bring ‘Better by Design’ bucket expertise to Hillhead 2026

HSM Buckets will bring their 'Better by Design' philosophy to Hillhead 2026 on Stand W3, showcasing extreme-duty buckets engineered in the UK and proven in the toughest quarry conditions.

HSM say their strength lies in their in-house UK design and engineering team, which gives the company complete control over product quality and allows each bucket to be tailored to the specific demands of the application. This application-led approach has earned HSM a strong reputation among quarry operators for delivering durable, high-performance attachments in some of the industry’s toughest environments.

Building on that success, HSM are expanding their focus to smaller construction machines, applying the same engineering expertise, premium materials and design philosophy that underpin its heavy-duty quarrying range.

Taking pride of place on the stand will be a bucket built for the Hitachi ZX690, a clear demonstration of HSM's build quality and the extreme-duty engineering the brand is known for. Made from SSAB Hardox steel, it's built to move more and last longer.

‘Everything we do starts with design. Our team designs every bucket in-house, here in the UK, so whatever the size or application, the thinking and quality behind it are ours,’ said Nick Fagandini, director at HSM. ‘For heavy-duty quarry work, where it matters most, we custom-build right here in the UK – and that's the standard every bucket we put our name to is held to.’

HSM will be joined on the stand by their parent company and partner, MST Parts Group, who will showcase their Caterpillar engine and repair parts capabilities. Together, the stand demonstrates the depth of repair parts coverage available and the quality of parts in stock.
