Hyundai expands line of wheeled excavators with launch of HW100A
HD Hyundai Construction Equipment North America has announced the addition of its 25,221 lb. (11,440 kg) HW100A to its lineup of wheeled excavators, which ranges from the R55W-9A at 12,240 lb. (5,552 kg) to the 46,690 lb. (21,178 kg) HW210A.
In an official product news release, Hyundai shared that its HW100A is capable of digging to a depth of 13 feet 11 inches (4.24 m) and delivering 101 net hp (75 kW), making it powerful for a variety of applications. Its compact size, 360-degree swing capability and articulated boom allow it to work in congested and tight spaces where larger equipment can’t.
With a maximum speed of 24 mph (39 kph), the HW100A offers three steering modes: four-wheel round, which provides the tightest turning radius, with the traction and control needed for operating on rough terrain; four-wheel crab, which provides the ability to maneuver diagonally; and two-wheel steering, which delivers better fuel economy while still providing agile handling. “This means the Hyundai HW100A is versatile enough to tackle multiple jobs across a variety of applications,” said Julio Vargas, product manager, HD Hyundai Construction Equipment North America.
“Operators and owners alike will appreciate the comfort, versatility and available options, while enjoying the power and performance on the HW100A,” Vargas said. They have four work modes to choose from. The one-way setting lets operators control boom and bucket operation independently for precision tasks like leveling and fine grading. The two-way setting synchronizes operation of the boom and bucket, which is more efficient for high-production tasks like truck loading and trenching. The digging setting provides optimum efficiency and power for heavy-duty excavation tasks, such as for foundation work. The lifting setting works best for applications that involve lifting, moving and placing heavy objects or materials for sanitation and utility work.
Operators can also select from three power modes – Power, Standard and Economy – to match power and efficiency to the job at hand. The Hyundai HW100A comes standard with a two-piece boom for enhanced reach and versatility, a front bucket rest, and a rear dozer blade. It is also equipped with quick coupler piping and selectable control pattern (ISO/SAE) for operator preference.
Optional configurations include four outriggers or a front dozer blade with rear outriggers to suit various customer needs. Additional standard features include an 8-inch touchscreen display, long-life brakes, and five years of Hyundai’s proprietary Hi MATE telematics for remote monitoring and support.
