In keeping with its plans to offer more product choices, HD Hyundai Construction Equipment North America is adding the 25,221 lb. (11,440 kg) HW100A to its lineup of wheeled excavators, which ranges from the R55W-9A at 12,240 lb. (5,552 kg) to the 46,690 lb. (21,178 kg) HW210A.

Digging to a depth of 13 feet 11 inches (4.24 m) and delivering 101 net hp (75 kW), the Hyundai HW100A is powerful enough for a variety of applications, yet is particularly suited for road and bridge work, roadside projects and other jobs where the ability to move on paved surfaces is critical. Its compact size, 360-degree swing capability and articulated boom allow it to work in congested and tight spaces where larger equipment can’t.

This new Hyundai compact excavator features a spacious cab with a full-length glass door for ease of entry and egress, as well as a heated, air-suspension seat and other comfort-related features. For safety, the HW100A also comes standard with right and rearview cameras, LED light package and other features Hyundai equipment is known for. Like other Hyundai wheeled excavators, the HW100A has the options of AAVM (all-around view monitoring) and rear radar for added job safety and peace of mind when working in congested spaces.

With a maximum speed of 24 mph (39 kph), the HW100A offers three steering modes: four-wheel round, which provides the tightest turning radius, with the traction and control needed for operating on rough terrain; four-wheel crab, which provides the ability to maneuver diagonally; and two-wheel steering, which delivers better fuel economy while still providing agile handling. “This means the Hyundai HW100A is versatile enough to tackle multiple jobs across a variety of applications,” said Julio Vargas, product manager, HD Hyundai Construction Equipment North America.
