Hyundai launch HX210 excavator

Hyundai is introducing the HX210L excavator to its Next Generation line-up. This 22-tonne machine has been designed and engineered to compliment the high specification HX230. It has been tailored to appeal directly to the UK plant hire and rental markets, delivering improved features and increased efficiency, when compared to its predecessor.

The HX210L is built on the same robust platform as the HX230L, ensuring maximum durability and reliability. It features a standard 4,200kg counterweight, 10% higher than the A-Series model to maximise stability and lifting capacity. The counterweight has the distinctive ‘Tiger Eye’ rear design, already seen on other Next Generation machines.

The upper structure of the excavator is reinforced, with increased channel height and a revised counterweight mounting design, enhancing structural rigidity. The swing bearing has been upgraded, with a design that delivers increased dynamic thrust and static thrust capacities. Higher swing torque provides improved rotating performance and increased productivity.

Hyundai Power

Powered by the same Hyundai DX05 diesel engine, the 21-tonne machine uses a wastegate turbocharger in place of the larger model’s twin-turbo configuration. This results in a best-in-class 830Nm of torque, a 6% increase on the previous HX210A L. The engine employs an engine-mounted cooling fan clutch, to maximise fuel efficiency.

Proven pilot-controlled hydraulics have been chosen as the optimum solution for the rental business. The system includes virtual bleed-off (VBO), an energy control system that combines an electronically-controlled main control valve and a high-performance central processing unit to optimise real-time output flow and eliminate energy losses in the hydraulic system. 

Operator Comfort

All Next Generation machines benefit from a new premium cab design, with comfortable seating, improved ventilation, redesigned control levers and enhanced interior lighting. The excavator is equipped with Hyundai’s latest 12.8” full HD touchscreen monitor, providing personalised control of machine functions and easy to read operating data. The advanced climate control system incorporates a Discharge Air Temperature (DAT) sensor and dual solar sensors to optimise internal temperatures in the cab.

The HX210L has 1,000-hour service intervals, boosting uptime for the customer. A revised Urea tank design delivers an 18.8% boost in AdBlue capacity and standard integrated grease feed lines, improve pin lubrication. Side service access improves safety for technicians during upper structure inspection and maintenance.
