Hyundai is offering a new range of compact excavators


HD Hyundai is offering eight new mini excavator models, which weight from 1.7-5.5tonnes. Features include low emission EU Stage V diesel engines, load-sensing hydraulic systems on heavier models and proportional joystick controls with quick-coupler piping and safety valves on boom, arm and dozer blade cylinders.

The new compact excavators join existing HD Hyundai mini and midi crawler machines, to form a 12-model range, from the 1tonne HX10A micro, through to the 9tonne class HX85A. All of the models feature compact dimensions but those with a ‘z’ suffix have a zero-tailswing design, allowing the machines to work up against walls and which can be supplied with additional counterweight to increase stability. Variable-width undercarriages on the smaller models also improve stability for heavy digging and lifting. 

Safety valves are standard on all boom, dipper arm and dozer blade hydraulic cylinders, ensuring maximum safe working when lifting. The boom arm and bucket cylinders also come with guards, to protect the hydraulic rams. All machines can be supplied with optional quick-coupler piping. A float function is now also included in the dozer blade hydraulics, while an optional angle blade is available on HX35A Z and above.

HX-A Series mini and midi excavators can be supplied with HD Hyundai’s Hi MATE remote management system. This uses GPS satellite technology to provide real-time telematic operating data to machine owners and service departments. A new mobile app provides machine owners and fleet managers with information that they require to run machinery more economically and efficiently. Hi MATE can also be used to set geofence alerts that warns the fleet manager if the machine is moved outside of a predetermined area.

    A Hitachi excavator has enabled the creation of a subterranean six-floor car park in the centre of Paris. The ZX225USRLC-3 was used to dig deep below ground in the French capital and remove 65,000m³ of earth before construction of the facility could begin. For Saperfe Travaux Publics, a sub-contractor working on the project, the Hitachi machine was the only specialist equipment required. The clamshell telescopic arm of the ZX225USRLC-3 can reach depths of up to 25m.
