HPE Africa’s newly launched Hyundai HX380L Series crawler excavators – which are classified in the medium to large category – are now available locally.
“These robust machines – already hard at work in tough African conditions – have impressive performance features that are welcomed in demanding industries, like mining, quarrying, construction and civil engineering,” says Ross Collard, Managing Director, HPE Africa – exclusive distributors for Hyundai Construction Equipment in Southern Africa. “Our new HX380L excavators, which offer net power ratings of 224 kW at 1 650 rpm, set a new benchmark for fuel economy. This efficiency not only translates to significant cost savings for operators, but also minimises environmental impact, aligning with Hyundai’s commitment to sustainability in every aspect of its business.
“Intensive field testing of HX380L excavators in tough conditions shows impressive performance. Whether digging, loading or lifting, the opinion of operators is that the HX Series – with an operating weight of up to 40 320 kg – excels in terms of efficiency, control, reduced downtime and maximum output.
“In addition, through new hydraulic system enhancements, these excavators deliver faster cycle speeds, resulting in enhanced productivity and efficiency on site. Notable advancements over the Hyundai 9A series include up to 10 times greater fuel efficiency during truck loading and levelling, up to five times faster during tuck loading and four times faster during levelling
