Hyundai Construction Equipment Americas Expands HX Series Excavator Line
Hyundai Construction Equipment Americas recently introduced its new HX140L and HX235LCR excavators. Officially unveiled Feb. 3 at World of Concrete in Las Vegas, these machines join a family of seven other Hyundai HX excavator models the company introduced in 2015 to U.S. and Canadian markets.
The 62,301-lb Hyundai HX235LCR excavator is a compact-radius model, providing up to 10-percent better fuel economy and 5-percent increased productivity versus the previous Series 9A model.
The HX140L excavator is a 31,310-lb (14,200-kg) model, powered by a Perkins 1204F Tier 4 Final engine rated at 116 hp (87 kW). It achieves a maximum dig depth of 22 ft, 1 in. (6,730 mm) and maximum digging reach of 32 ft, 9 in. (9,980 mm), and provides bucket digging force of 24,890 lbf (11,290 kgf).
The 64,301-lb (24,000-kg) Hyundai HX235LCR excavator is a compact-radius model, featuring a Cummins QSB6.7 Tier 4 Final engine rated at 183 hp (136 kW). Performance specs include a maximum digging depth of 22 ft (6,700 mm), maximum digging reach of 32 ft, 6 in.(9,910 mm), and bucket digging force of 37,104 lbf (16,830 kgf).
“Like other models in the HX series, the new Hyundai HX140L and HX235LCR excavators come packed with high-end features,” said Corey Rogers, marketing manager, Hyundai Construction Equipment Americas.
For example, both new HX excavator models include as standard equipment an 8-in. (20.3-cm) interactive, adjustable, touchscreen cluster-monitor in the cab. The monitor in the HX140L model includes haptic remote control, providing easier operator accessibility and better ergonomics. The haptic remote control delivers reactive, tactile sensations using vibrations and pulses to guide the operator through menu selections.
Viewable on the monitor, is the Hyundai-exclusive AAVM – or All-Around View Monitoring – an optional system that provides a 360-degree surround virtual operating view. Included in AAVM is the IMOD (Intelligent Moving Object Detection) system that senses and warns the operator when objects come within 16.5 ft (5 m) of the machine.
Better fuel economy, enhanced cabs, improved hydraulics
New Tier 4 Final engine technologies, a more efficient vertically stacked cooling design, efficient electronic fan clutch, and hydraulic system innovations on the Hyundai HX series excavators contribute to an overall fuel efficiency improvement of up to 10 percent compared with previous models.
The Hyundai HX series excavators feature large cabs with enhanced climate-control, more leg and foot space from the seat to the pedals, reduced in-cab sound level, heated operator’s seat with standard air suspension and integrated console. Additional features include a Bluetooth audio system and Miracast wireless functionality for viewing a mobile device screen on the monitor.
The 31,310-lb HX140L excavator from Hyundai Construction Equipment Americas features new technologies that make the operating experience more comfortable, more ergonomic and more user-friendly.
An improved hydraulic system includes an innovative Boom Float mode for better grading control, Fine Swing mode for improved load control when swinging, and up to 13-percent faster cycle speeds than previous models. The HX140L and HX235L also feature IPC (Intelligent Power Control) computer-aided power optimization based on load demand, and Eco Breaker mode for selectable pump flow and improved fuel consumption when working with Hyundai hydraulic breakers and many other attachments. The combination of faster cycle times and more power result in productivity increases of up to 5 percent.
Enhanced reliability features on the HX series include reinforced longer-life pins and bushings coupled with wear-resistant polymer shims and newly designed cab shock mounts with dual shock absorption for reduced vibration and noise and improved operator comfort. Serviceability enhancements include ground-level access to the fuel filter and convenient exterior access to the cab air filter. Additional guard rails provide greater safety while performing maintenance and inspections on the upper structure deck.
Industry leading warranties
The Hyundai HX140L and HX235LCR excavators are protected by Hyundai’s industry-leading three-year, 3,000-hour standard warranty and five-year, 5,000-hour structural warranty. Hyundai also includes three years of free access to its Hi-Mate remote management system, which provides a variety of remote monitoring and diagnostic services.
