HD Hyundai Construction Equipment North America has introduced the new 146 hp HD130 crawler dozer the second machine in its dozer line.
The HD series, introduced earlier this year with the launch of the HD100, broadens the Hyundai line of earthmoving equipment, which already includes wheel loaders, crawler excavators, wheeled excavators, articulated dump trucks, skid steers and compact track loaders and equipment designed for material handling in specialized applications.
“The new Hyundai HD130 dozer gives our customers the choice of a heavier-duty model that delivers higher productivity for larger jobs,” said Dale McLemore, Director of Sales for HD Hyundai Construction Equipment North America. “An expanded dozer product line helps demonstrate Hyundai’s commitment to providing the right solution for a wide range of earthmoving and material-handling applications.”
Two configurations
The HD130 is a 15-ton-class machine equipped with a four-cylinder Perkins 1204J engine that meets Tier 4 Final emissions standards.
The dozer is available in two configurations. Hyundai offers the HD130 as either an LGP (low ground pressure) model or in an XL configuration.
The LGP model has an operational weight of 15,300 kg and ground pressure of 4.98 psi, while the XL configuration weighs 14,500 kg with a ground pressure of 6.16 psi.
Both dozer configurations feature a track length of 2.7 metres. A hydrostatic transmission provides smooth control of speed and torque while enhancing ease of operation.
Other key specs include maximum travel speed of 9 km per hour, eight lower track rollers, and a 76-cm with LGP blade.
HD130 visibility
The HD130 provides excellent visibility for enhanced operator confidence and productivity. The cooling system is in the rear of the machine, and the in-line pre-cleaner is under the hood for an unobstructed view to the blade. Full-length doors help enhance visibility to the sides. As well, four high-illumination LED lights are included as standard to improve visibility in low-light working conditions.
Dozer control
The Hyundai HD130 dozer comes standard with a 2D grading system that simplifies precision grading for novice operators. The system controls the blade functions, enabling faster and more accurate grading without the need for GPS or lasers.
Standard electrohydraulic controls enhance ease of operation and accuracy, and the ergonomically designed joystick helps reduce operator fatigue. Blade movement, slope and tilt can be adjusted to three different levels of control via the monitor.
Standard features include a ROPS/FOPS cab, dix-way dozer blade, rearview camera, a 20-cm display, high-illumination LED lights, rotating beacon and track guard, seat belt warning and piping for a ripper. An oscillating track system for stable ground contact and improved operator comfort is also standard on the dozer.
Available options include full track guarding, forestry cab guard (top and front) additional work lamps, parallel ripper and a towing draw bar.
Grading precision
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 HD130 is compatible with grading technologies that help even novice operators work faster and more precisely, save time and fuel, and maximize productivity.
The HD130 dozer comes Trimble-ready from the factory, offering enhanced precision and guidance for complex designs and construction projects. This feature allows for more accurate and efficient operation in challenging work environments.
