Also, on display at the Young Plant stand will be the 22tonne Hyundai HX220 L crawler excavator and the Hyundai HL960 HD wheeled loader, which has an operating weight of 19 tonnes.
The HX130 LCR is the third compact-radius excavator model in Hyundai’s HX series product line. The 13tonne machine is also available in a second standard configuration, the HX130 LCRD, which includes a dozer blade.
The HX130 LCR is powered by a 55kW Perkins 854F Tier 4 final compliant diesel engine with a diesel particulate filter – no need for AdBlue.
The LCR is also equipped with a 1,030mm-wide bucket for a capacity of nearly 0.6 m³.
Hyundai says that the LCR fills an important gap in Hyundai’s excavator line-up for contractors working in confined spaces.
Also, on the stand will be the HX220 L crawler excavator. The machine is powered by a 136kW Cummins QSB6.7 4-cycle turbocharged air-cooled diesel engine compliant with current emissions standards. Hyundai claims a 90% reduction in nitrogen oxide for this 22tonne excavator compared to the 9A series of machines.
The HX220 L is fitted with an ECO gauge which displays engine torque and fuel efficiency level. In addition, the gauge indicates the average fuel consumption and total amount of fuel consumed. The HX220 L can offer a reduction in fuel consumption of up to 12%, depending on application, compared to Hyundai’s 9A series of machines.
The intelligent power control monitors power according to the work at hand. A lever selects the mode and pump flow in order to reduce fuel consumption. Hyundai says that the HX Series provides higher productivity and the HX220 L can load trucks up to 5% faster than the 9A-Series.
Safety features on both the HX220 L and the new HX130 LCR include Hyundai’s advanced around view monitoring system for 360° surround virtual operating view, which displays on the monitor. The system includes an intelligent moving object detection system that senses and warns the operator when objects come within 5m of the machine.
The machines are also fitted with Hi-Mate, a remote management system. With one press of a button, users remotely evaluate machine performance, access diagnostic information and verify machine locations. Hyundai says that it is possible to program a virtual geofence to prevent the machine from leaving a specific area.
The first Hyundai HX130LCR crawler excavator to arrive into Europe will be exhibited this April at ScotPlant 2018 in Edinburgh.
