Constructionshows
The Hyundai Heavy Industries Europe stand at the Hillhead 2014 event (24th – 26th June, Buxton Quarry, Derbyshire, UK) will feature nine machines including two brand new models; the new R125LC-9A midi excavator and the R430LC-9A crawler excavator. Hyundai is also planning live demonstrations in the quarry face demo area of the HL780-9A wheeled loader and the R480LC-9A crawler excavator.
Also on the HHIE stand will be the latest –9A models including the R220LC-9A, R300LC-9A, R80CR-9A crawler excavators. And the latest -9A wheeled loaders including HL757-9A, HL770-9A. Other machines to look out for are the R27Z-9 and R60CR-9 mini excavators.
New launches at Hillhead
The new R430LC-9A crawler excavator will take centre stage on the Hyundai stand – the brand new machine has an operating weight of 42,600kg’s offering customers an even greater choice with this new weight class. The R430LC-9A is the 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, Cummins QSL9 Tier 4 Interim/Stage IIIB engine, which offers a rated power output of 310hp (231kw). This engine features the Xtra-High Pressure Injection (XPI) fuel system, which delivers a constant stream of pressurized fuel across all engine rpm speeds, providing cleaner combustion and improved engine response. This engine is designed to provide the lowest cost of operation in its class, offering customers the most economical and quiet operating machine with exceptional power and performance. Hyundai say that the EGR engine is ‘hassle-free’ and 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 Optimization (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.
Brand New Hyundai R125LC-9A midi excavator makes world-debut!
The 12 tonne midi short tail swing crawler excavator from Hyundai fits perfectly between the R80LC-9 8 tonne and the R140LC-9 14 tonne machines. This new weight class machine is perfect for the UK market for use in urban areas where space is limited and where manoeuvrability is a problem. The boom is not offset, which makes the machine more compact when operating in ‘tight spots’.
The new midi excavator offers arm digging force to 6,140kgf and a bucket digging force of 9,200kgf. The machine has an operating weight of 12,500kg’s and a maximum digging depth of 5,060mm. The R125LC-9A cabin structure has been fitted with stronger but slimmer tubing for added safety and improved visibility. Low-stress, high strength steel is integrally welded to form a stronger, more durable upper and lower frame.
The R125LC-9A is fitted with a Perkins 1204E Engine. The Tier 4 interim/Stage IIIB compliant engine provides maximum power, reliability, optimum fuel economy, and reduced emissions. Electronically controlled fuel injection and diagnostic capabilities add to the engines efficiency and serviceability.
Live demonstrations in the quarry face demo area of the HL780-9A wheeled loader and the R480LC-9A crawler excavator.
The Hyundai HL780-9A wheeled loader will be put through its paces in the demo area. Launched last year, the rugged and powerful machine like its fellow stable mates the in the HL 9A range, complies with strict Tier 4 Interim/EU-Stage IIIB standards on engine emissions. Its engine comes with an EGR and diesel particulate filter (DPF). The DPF is automatically and/or manually regenerated, ensuring compliance with all NOx and PM values. The high performance DPF filters only need to be cleaned after 5,000 to 6,000 hours in operation.
The HL780-9A is fitted with various transmission and power modes to allow the operator to customise the switching characteristics, switching points, working speed and hydraulic power to suit the application. The different modes ensure the best torque/oil flow for the job. The torque converter lockup is standard from second gear upwards, and the rigid transmission of the converter is said to noticeably reduce fuel consumption, especially for applications which involve a lot of driving.
Also on demo will be the R480LC-9A crawler excavator which boasts an operating weight of 4.9 tonne. Hyundai has powered this 9A earthmover with a low emission, low noise, Cummins Tier 4 Interim/Stage IIIB QSX11.9 engine. This engine has one of the highest power-to-weight ratios in its class, and its remarkable torque rise (up to 50%) enables the engine to quickly take full advantage of the torque power. This heavy line earthmover is guaranteed to get the largest of jobs done, whether it’s a massive amount of material that needs to be moved, or a deep trench project.
Hyundai Heavy Industries UK and its nine dealers will be on hand at Hillhead 2014 to talk to visitors through the many advantages of having Hyundai machines on any fleet. Also to discuss the outstanding technical support, which has become synonymous with the Hyundai brand, and the 24 hours parts availability. Hyundai machines have a full standard warranty of two years/ 3000 hours.
