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.

    Machine control technologies are revolutionising construction – Dan Gilkes writes Electronic control of engines, transmissions and hydraulic systems, primarily to reduce exhaust emissions and boost productivity, is also providing manufacturers with an opportunity to incorporate increasingly complex machine control into their equipment. This in turn has the potential to make the machinery more productive, further cutting fuel consumption as part of a virtuous operational circle.
