Hyundai Offers Wheel Loader Versatility with the Lighter and Faster HL730-9

With its new 9-series of state-of-the-art wheel loaders, Hyundai Construction Equipment Americas Inc. has a created a wheel loader for every job size. The new HL730-9 is the smallest, lightest and most nimble of the new high powered 9-series, boasting a total 9.2 second cycle time. This fast cycle time will benefit operators working in many job applications including moving gravel, sand, or other materials in general construction or agricultural projects, or moving stone and pipe in utility applications.

The HL730-9 is powered by a reliable, fuel-efficient, low noise Cummins Tier-III QSB4.5 engine, electronically controlled for optimum fuel to air ratio and clean, efficient combustion. Operators will appreciate the flexibility of three engine modes (Power, Standard, or Econo) which range from full power to reduced fuel consumption.

The HL730-9 comes in the following specialized models:

• Tool Master (TM) is appropriate for jobs requiring special attachments, such as forks, log grapples or hay handlers.
• Extend Reach (XTD) are for projects requiring a higher dump height, such as loading material into high sided dump trucks or use in feed lot applications.

Operator comfort, reduced stress, improved efficiency all played important roles in the newly designed cabins of the HL 730-9. Advanced color monitors with 5.7 inch wide color LCD screens, mounted on adjustable swivel-mounts for reduced glare, allow the operator to easily control the machine. Special attention was given to a comfortable and convenient interior with many standard amenities such as automatic AC/heat, heated rear-view mirrors, hands free phone, personal storage space and AM/FM radio/MP3 interface/USB ports.

Just like all of the equipment in the 9 series, Hyundai designed the HL730-9 to maximize profitability through improved efficiencies and extended life components. Hyundai’s proprietary Hi-mate remote management system provides operators and dealer service personnel access to vital service and diagnostic information via an online portal. Hi-mate saves time and money for the owner by promoting preventative maintenance and reducing machine downtime. Plus, the HL730-9 is equipped with long life hydraulic filters that now have 1,000 hours service intervals, and Hyundai certified hydraulic oil can last up to 5,000 hours before changing.
