New Hyundai A-Series excavators
Hyundai Construction Equipment is updating its mini/midi excavator range with new EU Stage 5 machines. With operating weights of 1.7 to 5.5 tonnes, the A-Series mini-excavators promise to deliver lower emissions, increased hydraulic capabilities and improved operator comfort.
Features include ‘Tiger Eye’ design language which recently received a prestigious Red Dot Design Award; load-sensing hydraulic system for models over 4 tonnes; all models have proportional joystick controls as standard, along with quick-coupler piping and safety valves on boom, arm and dozer blade cylinders; a large, quiet cab, tilting on models above 3.5-tonnes with good service access.
Hyundai Construction Equipment Europe will introduce a range of eight machines, from 1.7 to 5.5 tonnes, of which four will be shown at Munich’s bauma 2022 fair. The introduction of these models will complete Hyundai’s range of 11 compact excavators, from the smallest 1-tonne HX10A micro, through to the versatile HX85A, which competes in the 9- to 10-tonne segment when equipped with a 2-piece boom.
As part of the new range, the HX35A Z, the HX40A and the HX48A Z have been recognised as winners of the Red Dot Design Award, from Design Zentrum Nordhein Westfalen in Germany. Centered around the Tiger Eye lighting theme at the rear of the machines, the excavators have also been praised for their eco-friendly features and ease of operation. All Hyundai mini-excavators benefit from an EU Stage 5 compliant diesel engine, reducing exhaust emissions and boosting fuel economy for the customer.
