Hyundai excavators are known for fast cycle speeds, impressive hydraulic power and precision control. Adding to that success formula, the Hyundai HX series features eco-friendly, high-performance engines that meet Tier 4 Final emission requirements. At Hyundai, reliable productivity is more than just a promise. The robust upper and lower frame structure can endure external shock and heavy workloads for many thousands of hours. HX series is designed with the operator in mind. A key feature of the new operator’s cab in each HX series excavator is the convenient clustering of electronic controls and monitoring functions, resulting in improved operator accuracy and efficiency.
Hyundai construction equipment is precision designed with trusted and proven components and systems from leading OEM’s. The HX480L is designed to be rugged and reliable for longer up time, reduced operating cost and improved productivity.
Hyundai construction equipment is manufactured with the highest grade of steel due to Hyundai’s dominance in the steel and shipbuilding industries. Rigid cycle testing, heat testing, vibration testing and shock load testing is conducted in the design and manufacturing process of all new models insuring optimum durability and reliability.
The HX series introduces variable power control with three power modes to ensure the highest performance in any operating environment. P (power mode) maximizes speed and power for heavy work. S (standard mode) optimizes performance and fuel efficiency for general work. E (economy mode) improves control and
efficiency for light work.
Performance
Attachment Flow Control
The HX series improves pump flow rate by giving the operator independent control of two pumps. It optimizes flow rate settings according to the attachment type (10 breaker types and 10 crusher types), which is ideal for various applications.
Performance
Fuel Efficiency
HX series excavators are designed with fuel efficient tier 4 final engines, hydraulic advancements and electronic improvements that improve overall fuel efficiency by as much as 10% compared to the previous series.
Performance
Cycle Time Improvement
Through a combination of innovative hydraulic system enhancements, Hyundai HX series excavators achieve up to 5% faster cycle speeds than previous models, which increases productivity.
The 8-inch interactive touchscreen color display - with centralized switches - allows the operator to check and manage most features of machine operation, switches and diagnostics, all in one convenient location.
Convenience
Advanced Audio System
The audio system includes an AM/FM radio, a USB-based MP3 player, an integrated Bluetooth hands-free feature and a built-in microphone to allow for phone calls while at work and in transit. The audio system controls are located on the right side of the operator for convenient access.
Convenience
Innovative Haptic Control
Haptic control is a common technology found on luxury automobiles that makes selecting menus and adjusting settings easy. The haptic remote control uses vibrations and pulses to guide the operator through menu selections, enabling control of the accelerator, air conditioner, and all functions within the cluster for maximum convenience.
Convenience
Deluxe Operator's Seat
HX Series excavators feature deluxe operator's seats with air suspension, selectable heat and adjustable arm rests and control consoles. Seats are fully adjustable for maximum operator comfort.
The DEF/AdBlue® tank is installed next to the tool box. Its inlet is remotely located for easy access and convenient supply. A red lamp signal warns of overfill. The DEF/AdBlue® supply module is attached on the side of the fuel tank for easy maintenance and filter replacement.
Serviceability
Cab Air Filter Access
Cab air filter is conveniently accessible from ground level by way of a lockable door on the cab.
Serviceability
Upper Structure Access
HX series excavators are equipped with large grab rails, guard rails and a proprietary anti-slip surface on the upper structure that make accessing key service areas easier and safer.
Serviceability
Stacked Cooler Design
HX series excavators feature aluminum open-core coolers mounted in a stacked configuration to improve air flow, enhance cooling efficiency and improve serviceability.
The Hyundai-exclusive AAVM video camera system provides the operator a 360-degree field of view on the monitor, which greatly contributes to work site safety. Part of this system includes IMOD (Intelligent Moving Object Detection), which alerts the operator to the presence of people or objects within a 5 meter (16 ft) range of operation.
Safety
Grab rails & guard rails
Large upper grab rails coupled with left and right side guard rails facilitate access to the upper while reducing potential falls.
Safety
Anti-slip surface
Hyundai's proprietary, patented anti-slip surface uniquely designed to prevent accidental slips and falls that can result in injury when working or inspecting the upper structure of the machine. The rubber tread surface is less abrasive on knees when kneeling and performing inspections.
Safety
Auto-travel Alarm
An auto-travel alarm will sound as soon as travel is engaged forward or reverse. This standard safety feature greatly increases job site safety by alerting workers around the machine. This alarm may be deselected by a convenient switch.
