Hyundai Targets Scrap Yard Productivity and Labor Efficiency at ReMA 2026
NORCROSS, Ga. (Apr. 10, 2026) – HD Hyundai Construction Equipment North America will showcase three purpose-built machines designed to help scrap and recycling operations move more material, reduce labor dependency and improve jobsite safety at ReMA 2026, April 13–16 at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.
At booth B9, Hyundai will feature the HW250A MH material handler with elevating cab, the HL955A HDXT wheel loader with full guarding package, and the HX235ALCR excavator paired with an SAS Extreme Auto Processor—each configured specifically for the demands of scrap and recycling environments.
“Scrap operations are under constant pressure to process more material with fewer people while keeping operators safe,” said Dale McLemore, Director of Sales, HD Hyundai Construction Equipment North America. “The machines we’re bringing to ReMA are designed to solve those challenges directly—delivering visibility, protection and processing capability as standard, not costly add-ons.”
HW250A MH Material Handler: Built-In Visibility and Stability for Scrap Handling
Purpose-built for scrap applications, the HW250A MH material handler is designed to give operators a clear, elevated view of the work area while maintaining a stable working platform.
A standard elevating cab raises the operator up to 9.5 feet (2.9 m), improving visibility across piles and into containers—helping reduce blind spots and increase picking efficiency. Four-outrigger stability comes standard, providing a solid base when handling uneven or heavy materials.
Where competing machines often require additional cost to achieve this level of visibility and stability, Hyundai includes these features as standard—reducing upfront cost while improving operator confidence and control.
HL955A HDXT Wheel Loader: Protection That Works as Hard as the Machine
Scrap yards are unforgiving environments, where damage and downtime directly impact profitability. The HL955A HDXT wheel loader is engineered to handle that reality with heavy-duty structure and a full guarding package designed to protect critical components and the operator.
Reinforced guarding helps minimize damage from debris and impacts, reducing unplanned downtime and maintenance costs. The extended-reach configuration supports grapples, forks and other attachments commonly used in scrap applications, allowing operators to handle, sort and load material efficiently.
The result is a machine built not just to perform—but to stay working in conditions where lesser-equipped machines are more vulnerable.
HX235ALCR Excavator with SAS Processor: Faster Throughput with Fewer Hands
Hyundai is pairing the HX235ALCR compact-radius excavator with an SAS Extreme Auto Processor to demonstrate how operations can significantly reduce manual labor while increasing throughput.
The processor is designed to break down vehicles quickly and extract high-value components without repeated attachment changes, helping streamline the recycling process. Combined with the excavator’s compact-radius design, operators can work confidently in tight spaces while minimizing the risk of contact with nearby workers or obstacles.
Together, the machine and attachment enable a single operator to perform tasks that traditionally required multiple workers—helping yards address ongoing labor shortages while improving consistency and speed of processing.
