New Kid on the Block – Brand New Hyundai R125LC-9A midi excavator makes world-debut at Hillhead.

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 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.
