In the drivers' tent Hyundai invites construction equipment operators to relaxed and chatted in an informal environment.
The equipment on display included 35 machines from forklift trucks through wheel loaders, mini and wheeled excavators to crawler excavators.
The completely new machinery that the company showed included the R800LC-7A, an 80t crawler excavator for use in the mining industry and the R35Z-7, a zero tail-swing compact excavator with a 3.5t operating weight.
With its 81.5t operating weight, 343 kW (466 hp) power and a 3.4 m bucket capacity, the R800LC-7A provides all that is needed for efficient working and great handling performance.
Using the latest equipment technology from Cummins, a computer-aided control and monitoring system as well as FEM optimised design, it is already pre-programmed for tackling all types of applications.
The 80-tonner shown at Bauma is still a prototype but will go into mass production as from 2008.
The strength of the new R35Z-7 lies in its compact dimensions, thanks to which the round cab remains within the dimensions of the undercarriage during the whole swinging operation.
Its extremely compact design allows the excavator to continue working effectively even in the most confined space.
However, this optimum economy of space has certainly not been achieved at the expense of the working area, which is perfectly comparable with that of standard machines.
The company has significantly upgraded the whole of its remaining range of excavators and wheel loaders to the "Dash 7A" generation by its use of low-emission TIER 3 engines, most of them with Common Rail Technology, which is renowned for its quiet running producing significantly reduced noise levels.
The range will gradually be brought to market over the course of the year, along with numerous refinements to further enhance the practical user value and efficiency of the equipment.
The most obvious of these include the new multifunction joysticks and the new graphic displays with user-defined menu navigation and additional functions to increase operator comfort and safety.
A new, but not true, item of the Hyundai product range is the R360LC-7A DM, a 36t excavator with a Biurrarena demolition arm.
Biurrarena is Hyundai's Spanish importer, which also converts the R450LC-7A to a DM version (Demolition).
A significantly improved self diagnostic system rounds off the refinements.
The HRDT 2.0 generation, which is compatible with the Windows 98, Windows 2000 and Windows XP operating systems, has an improved screen display and an extended range of functions: these two features make it easier to diagnose operating faults and increase the availability of the machine.
It now also provides a structured overview of monitored engine data, immediate detection of error functions and retrieval of specific service information.
