Hyundai CE North America recently announced the expansion of its product line into crawler dozers with the availability of its first new dozer model, the 115 net horsepower (86 kW) Hyundai HD100.
The addition of dozers to the Hyundai product line broadens its line of earthmoving equipment, which already includes wheel loaders, hydraulic excavators, articulated dump trucks, skid steers and compact track loaders, as well as equipment designed for material handling in specialized applications.
“The new HD100 dozer will be a great addition to the equipment fleets of earthmoving contractors, forestry, waste handlers and other customers who already enjoy the benefits of using Hyundai wheel loaders and excavators,” said Mike Ross, senior vice president of Hyundai Construction Equipment North America. “It’s further evidence of the Hyundai commitment to providing the right solution for a wide range of earthmoving and material-handling applications.”
The Hyundai HD100 dozer is a 10-ton-class machine with a standard blade capacity of 2.9 cubic yards and a digging depth of 1 foot 6 inches. The fuel-efficient 4-cylinder Hyundai G2 DM03 engine meets Tier 4 Final emissions standards. The standard operating weight is 23,589 lbs. and the track length on the ground is 108 inches. A hydrostatic transmission provides smooth control of speed and torque while enhancing ease of operation.
Superior visibility and grading precision increase productivity, efficiency
The Hyundai HD100 dozer offers superior visibility to the standard 6-way angle blade. Positioning the electronic cooling system at the back of the machine results in an unobstructed view of the blade. Further adding to the visibility of the working end of the dozer are the narrow front hood, placement of the inline pre-cleaner under the hood, minimized cab pillars and maximized glass areas, including all-glass doors. A rearview camera, high-illumination LED lights and four wiper blades are all standard.
The standard six-way variable-angle-pitch dozer blade — with a maximum angle of 25 degrees — delivers more precision when grading or moving dirt, clay and other materials. The standard blade float function is ideal for fine finishing or smooth back grading. The machine is compatible with grading technologies that help even novice operators work faster and more precisely, save time and fuel, and maximize productivity. The 2D Smart Blade assist function, which comes standard, makes precision grading easier. The HD100 can also be ordered Trimble-ready from the factory. This optional 3D machine guidance and 3D machine control system activates automatic blade movements based on GPS coordinates.
Options add versatility
An LGP (low ground pressure) option is available when ordering the dozer with a wider 10 feet 7 inches blade vs. the standard 8 feet 11 inches blade, along with track shoes that are 4 inches wider than the standard shoes. Other available options include a parallel ripper or towing draw bar.
Other key specifications include a maximum travel speed of 5.6 mph, seven-track rollers, shoe width of 1 foot 8 inches, and ground contact pressure of 5.6 psi with a standard blade. Ground pressure is 4.2 psi with the optional LGP package.
