Hyundai set sights on European wheel loader market

Hyundai have launched the latest Dash-7 versions of their wheel loader range.

There are now six models ranging from the 10-tonne HL730-7 to the 30-tonne HL780-7, together with several special-purpose versions, ranging from heavy-duty quarry applications to bulk materials-handling machines. The latest TM versions, the mid-range 10-tonne HL730TM-7 and 12-tonne HL740TM-7, are said to be versatile tool carriers with straight loader arms and parallel-lift boom linkage. These machines have been designed with a wide range of special attachments for general materials-handling and utilities applications and are characterized by their high load-over height, parallel-lift and fast-cycling capability.

The latest Dash-7 models incorporate increased operator comfort and improved engine/hydraulic efficiency and serviceability. Performance has also been considerably uprated with higher tipping-load ratings and increased dump heights. The latest models feature a more modern, rounded counterweight shape and large cab with increased glass area. Inside the cab, which is now 1.42m wide and has two doors, there is a digitalized instrument panel and improved air-conditioning.
