Hyundai show off their latest Dash-7A heavyweights

Once again Hyundai will be using Hillhead to promote the latest additions to the ‘heavy’ end of their wheel loader and excavator lines, including the first public showing in the UK of the new 50-tonne R500LC-7A excavator and the new top-of-the-range 30-tonne HL780-7A wheel loader. Also on show will be the 20-tonne HL770-7A and R450LC-7A machines (stand W1).

In the demonstration area another HL770-7A and an R450LC-7A will be carrying out heavy-duty digging and face-loading duties alongside competitive machines, providing an ideal opportunity to see them working side-by-side for comparison.

Hyundai’s new ‘heavy’ machines are powered by the latest high-performance Cummins engines, which meet the Tier IIIA emissions and noise level standards. Among their many other new features are a number of operator-friendly options such as joystick steering, ride-control and a dual brake-pedal arrangement. The HL780-7A has an all-wheel wet-brake system and is fitted with 29.5R25 tyres (in a variety of different patterns) as standard.

As well as operator comfort, serviceability has also been given special attention. Wide-opening access panels give easy access to all major components and there is provision for plug-in laptop PC diagnosis of all hydraulic and operating functions (in addition to an in-cab diagnostic display for the operator). There is also the option of a reversible fan to facilitate maintenance of the radiator and coolers.

With a range of heavy-duty buckets up to 5.1m3 capacity, the new HL780-7A has been designed as a high-output, front-line production unit for the mining, quarrying and construction industries. With a load-over height of 3.4m, it is well matched for loading large dump trucks up to 80 tonnes capacity and for the direct loading of high-sided crushers.

The HL760-7A is equally robust and designed with buckets up to 3m3 capacity for repetitive digging and loading in quarrying, rehandling and recycling applications.

Hyundai’s full range of wheel loaders now extends from the 10-tonne HL730-7 up to the new 30-tonne machine, together with a number of special-application models such as the TM (Tool Master) parallel-lift material handlers and XTD machines with extended lift-arms.
