Hyundai showcased its latest heavy machinery at the Hillhead show in the UK last week (June 25, 2024), including the new 100-tonne HX1000A L and 80-tonne HL985A Stage V crawler excavators, alongside the 35-tonne HL985A wheel loader, capable of handling up to a 7m³ bucket – the largest of its kind from Hyundai.
These machines are designed for demanding environments such as mines, quarries, and large-scale construction projects, promising high productivity and reduced total cost of ownership.
Excavator Features: Powered by Perkins diesel engines, the HX800A L boasts a six-cylinder Perkins 2506J delivering 400kW (539hp) at 1,800rpm and 2,468Nm of torque at 1,400rpm. The larger HX1000A L features the Perkins 2806J, offering 460kW (629hp) at 2,000rpm and 2,952Nm at 1,300rpm.
They incorporate an electronic hydraulic power control system with nine sensors to optimize fuel consumption and digging efficiency. The HX800A L has two axial piston pumps delivering 504 lpm each, while the HX1000A L has three pumps producing 523 lpm each. Both models feature four operating modes and four power modes, with variable speed and pump torque control.
Comfort is prioritized with new cabs offering Level 2 FOPS protection, vibration-damping mounts, heated seats with air suspension, and Hyundai’s All-Around View Monitoring (AVM) camera system for a 360-degree view.
Loader Highlights: The HL985A wheel loader, powered by a Cummins X12 diesel engine, delivers 321kW (430hp) and features an Eco gauge for real-time fuel monitoring. It includes Smart Power mode for optimized fuel consumption during bucket loading and a five-speed transmission with lock-up clutch for efficient operation.
The loader’s cab is spacious with a 7” touchscreen, Bluetooth connectivity, and HD Hyundai’s All Around Vision Monitor (AAVM) system.
“These machines reinforce Hyundai’s position in the European heavy machinery market, offering robust solutions for mining, quarrying, and large-scale construction projects,” said Gert Peeters, product manager.
