HPE Africa has expanded its municipal offering with the launch of the Hyundai HX series excavators launched locally in January this year.
New Hyundai HX220S excavators have advanced designed features for dependable performance. These include variable power control, a single layer cooling system, a reinforced bucket and bucket linkage and a powerful and precise swing control, as well as reduced shock and vibration through the new cab mounting system.
The machines come with a 6-cylinder turbo-charged, 4 cycle engine, designed for low emissions and economic operation. HX220S excavators, with an operating weight of 21 260 kg, have a gross power rating of 110 KW at 2 000 rpm and a bucket capacity of 1,2 m³.
What’s notable is the engine of this series has been designed with 40% fewer parts than other machines in the same class. The weight of the machine has been reduced, with no compromise on the excavator’s strength or efficiency.
Other design features include an improved intelligent display, easy to reach control panels and for greater safety on site, the wide cab offers improved all-round visibility. For effortless maintenance, these machines are fitted with easy to maintain components, a centralised electrical box and an easy change air cleaner assembly.
“It is important for municipalities, with limited capital equipment budgets, to make judicious decisions about the selection of suitable machines for specific tasks. Typical applications for earthmoving machines include the construction of buildings and roads, demolition work, landscaping, power supply, sewage and water projects,” explains Ross Collard, MD of HPE Africa, part of the Capital Equipment Group (CEG) of Invicta Holdings Limited.
“Typically, in municipalities these machines are used to dig up and move large amounts of earth or materials, to create holes and to dig trenches and foundations. They are also designed to grade soil and remove dirt and rocks.
“The HPE Africa team assists decision makers in municipal projects with correct machine selection to ensure efficient capital expenditure, optimise productivity, reduce downtime and enhance safety on site.
“Apart from the supply of durable machines, we have reliable repair and maintenance facilities, with highly skilled technical staff to support our wide range of equipment. Our customers also appreciate Hyundai’s 2-year/3 000 hours factory warranty offered through HPE Africa.
“We work closely with every customer to modify equipment when necessary, to meet exact performance requirements. Field tests ensure that every Hyundai machine conforms with stringent quality and safety specifications and meets exact application requirements.”
