The new Hyundai HX130 LCR crawler excavator takes centre stage at Hillhead.
Hyundai Construction Equipment recently launched the HX130 LCR- the third compact-radius excavator model in the company’s HX series product line. Visitors to the Hyundai stand at the forthcoming Hillhead exhibition (26th – 28th June, Buxton UK) will be amongst the first to see the machine at a UK exhibition.
The HX130 LCR will take centre stage alongside seven existing Hyundai models including;
- HL960HD – 19,300 kg wheeled loader
- HL975 – 26,500 kg wheeled loader
- HX220 L - 22,100 kg crawler excavator
- HX300 L – 30,200 kg crawler excavator
- HX380 L – 38,920 kg crawler excavator
- R18-9 - 1855 kg compact excavator
- R30Z-9A - 2,880 kg compact excavator
HX130 LCR Crawler Excavator
The new HX130 LCR excavator is powered by a 73.6 hp (55 kW) Perkins 854F Tier 4 final / Stage IIIB compliant diesel engine. When it comes to performance and productivity, the engine and hydraulic system of the HX130 LCR are hard to match. Its ‘Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)’ equipped engine delivers optimum power and fuel efficiency, without the need for SCR. So, users do not have the hassle with AdBlue.
The LCR model has a standard operating weight of 28,510 lbs (12,930 kg), while the LCRD model’s standard operating weight is 30,075 lbs (13,560 kg). It achieves a maximum dig depth of 18 ft 4 in (5,570 mm) and maximum digging reach of 27 ft (8,220 mm), and provides bucket digging force of 22,860 lbf (10,369 kgf).
The HL130 LCR excavator is equipped with a standard 0.77 yd³ (0.59 m³) capacity, 40.6 in wide (1,030 mm) bucket.
As with all HX machines the HX130 LCR includes as standard an 8 inch (20.3 cm) interactive, adjustable, touchscreen cluster-monitor in the cab. Viewable on the cluster-monitor is the Hyundai-exclusive AAVM – or All-Around View Monitoring – an optional system that provides a 360°-surround virtual operating view. Included in AAVM is the IMOD (Intelligent Moving Object Detection) system that senses and warns the operator when objects come within 16.5 feet (5 m) of the machine. The AAVM system helps make the Hyundai HX series among the safest excavators to operate on any jobsite in the UK.
Latest engine technologies, a more efficient vertically stacked cooling design, efficient electronic fan clutch, and hydraulic system innovations on the Hyundai HX series excavators contribute to an overall fuel efficiency improvement of up to 9 percent compared with previous models.
An advanced hydraulic system includes an innovative Boom Float mode for better grading control, Fine Swing mode for improved load control when swinging, and up to 13-percent faster cycle speeds than previous models. The HX130 LCR also features IPC (Intelligent Power Control) computer-aided power optimization based on load demand, and Eco Breaker mode for selectable pump flow and improved fuel consumption when working with Hyundai hydraulic breakers and many other attachments. The combination of faster cycle times and more power result in productivity increases of up to 5 percent.
Serviceability enhancements include ground-level access to the fuel filter and convenient exterior access to the cab air filter.
