With an operating weight of 42.6tonnes, the R430LC-9A is 236 Hyundai’s latest addition to the Robex excavator range. The new model, which slots in between the existing R380LC-9A and the R480LC-9A, is said to be an ideal machine for bulk earthmoving, large civil engineering and quarrying work.

At the heart of the R430LC-9A is the low emission and low noise 196 Cummins QSL9 Tier 4 Interim/Stage IIIB engine, which offers a rated power output of 231kW. This engine features the Xtra-High Pressure Injection (XPI) fuel system, which delivers a constant stream of pressurised fuel across all engine rpm speeds, providing cleaner combustion and improved engine response. This engine is said to be designed to provide the lowest cost of operation in its class, while also being 4867 AdBlue free.

Hyundai -9A series excavators are engineered to be extremely fuel efficient, with a proven 5% fuel savings in comparison to previous models. New innovations like the variable speed remote fan, two-stage auto decel system and the new economy mode help to conserve fuel and reduce the impact on the environment.

Like existing models in the -9A series, the R430LC-9A features Hyundai’s Computer Aided Power Optimisation (CAPO) system. Using this system, the operator can set their own preferences for boom or swing priority, power mode selection, including three working modes, P (Power), S (Standard) and E (Economy), and optional work tool settings at the touch of a button, to suit the task in hand.

The R430LC-9A features the Hyundai -9A cab, which has been well received by operators around the world. The advanced new in-cab monitor features an LCD colour screen, which features a touch screen facility in addition to the toggle switch, which allows the operator to select personal machine preferences, including work modes, self-diagnostics, maintenance check lists and start-up machine security codes.

The new -9A excavator machines also feature Hyundai’s HI-MATE telematics remote management system, which provides operators and dealer service personnel direct access to vital service and diagnostic information on the machine from any computer with internet access.

Meanwhile, increased maintenance intervals and a two-year standard warranty ensure a maximum operation guarantee.
