Hyundai Construction Offers Complete Versatility In Compact Excavators

The ability to maneuver safely and efficiently in cramped working conditions can make your excavation jobs go faster. And that boosts profitability. But you can’t get the job done without adequate power to dig and move material. The new line of compact radius excavators from Hyundai Construction has you covered, with models that assure state-of-the-art performance in even the tightest spaces.

These earthmoving machines are easy to operate and proficient in every way. They’re compact yet very agile, with plenty of bucket breakout force to tackle tough jobs. All Hyundai Construction compact excavators are available with your choice of rubber or steel tracks.

There’s a size just right for your jobs.

The R35Z-9 zero tail swing model is compact and nimble, especially useful for urban locations and sensitive landscaped areas. It weighs 8050 pounds and features:

  • 2.1 foot tail swing radius.
  • 7.2 foot digging depth.

Mid-size models are designed to confidently handle virtually any project where you need power and maneuverability in a confined area, such as utility work, landscaping and light construction. They’re a great choice for installing or repairing small pipe and for demolishing asphalt driveways and concrete walkways or curbing. These three Hyundai Construction compact excavators are outfitted with the Yanmar 4TNV98 diesel engine, which is also Tier 4i certified.

Operators will appreciate the large-capacity air conditioning, improved ventilation, MP3/AM/FM radio, water- and dust-proofing seals, fully adjustable suspension seat and armrests, foldable pedals for added space, multiple storage compartments.
