Hyundai Construction Equipment is building upon the success of its growing A-Series range of wheeled excavators, with the launch of the compact radius HW150A CR. The HW150A CR promises to become the flagship of the A-Series wheeled excavator range, answer to the growing demand for a more utility and service oriented wheeled machine in the 15-17 tonne segment.
The HW150A CR joins the established HW140A, HW160A and the compact radius HW170A CR in the Hyundai line-up, providing a specification and operating weight to suit every application. The larger HW210A delivers the same combination of controllability and productive power.
Already a popular choice with leading national rental businesses and contractors, the Hyundai A-Series machines have taken operator comfort and control to a new level, delivering a highly productive excavator, with attractive total cost of ownership for customers. The HW150A CR uses the same Cummins B4.5 diesel engine as the HW140A, HW160A and the HW170A CR, with an output of 129kW (173hp) at 2,200rpm.
This 4.5-litre engine uses a wastegate turbocharger and a proven Flex Module after-treatment system. This two-can exhaust system brings together a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC), Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) to meet the EU Stage V emissions regulations. There is no requirement for costly Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) and the engine has no requirement for manual DPF regeneration. A reversible cooling fan is available for dusty working environments.
The engine drives a Bosch Rexoth load sensing hydraulic system and a fully hydrostatic, four-wheel drive powertrain. The load sensing system allows load independent flow control, which makes it easier for the operator to work boom, dipper arm, bucket and slew function simultaneously. This improves controllability and boosts productivity, while reducing fuel use and cutting emissions.
