Distributed by local earthmoving equipment distributor High Power Equipment Africa (HPE), automotive manufacturer Hyundai’s backhoe loaders have been well received by the local market, says HPE, the sole distributor of Hyundai earthmoving equipment in Southern Africa.

“The robust H930s backhoe loader series is particularly well liked by businesses that need smaller machines, without them having to make a substantial capital investment in large excavators and loaders,” says HPE MD Alex Ackron.

He adds that Hyundai’s backhoe loaders, which have a reputation for efficient performance, low operating costs and minimal maintenance requirements, are also popular with plant hire companies.

The company supports this range with a two-year 3 000-hour warranty.

Improved Performance
Hyundai H930s backhoe loaders are fitted with fuel-efficient, low-noise, environment-friendly Perkins Tier 2 diesel engines. Each loader also features a standard power-shift transmission and a convenient gear-shift selector that enables fast, easy and efficient operation and precise control, even in arduous operating conditions.

These machines have been designed for smooth, easy control and powerful loader performance. The loader boom is integrally welded, with dual lift and tilt cylinders for maximum strength. The strong, rigid loader frame ensures a greater lift capacity and improved overall visibility.

Further, the backhoe boom allows for a clear line of site into a trench when the operator is digging around buried infrastructure, such as water mains, sewer pipes and utility lines.

The front and rear axles have also been designed for efficient and safe operation in uneven ground conditions. Oil-immersed wet brakes eliminate possible external contamination and are indivi- dually actuated by two separate brake pedals.

The self-adjusting brakes automatically regulate disc clearance and ensure improved brake performance and reduced service time. The parking brake can be activated by an electric switch from inside the operator cab.

An adjustable flow control system (AFCS) can be installed to divert unused hydraulic fluid from the second pump to the hydraulic reservoir. In a loader application, AFCS optimises the travel power of the machine and improves productivity that is particularly useful when travelling on the road.


Standard features are complemented by a choice of hydraulic systems that incorporate the latest technologies for improved efficiency. These options include a load-sensing hydraulic system that matches the engine power to the appropriate hydraulic flow, based on the load demand required. Sufficient flow is provided, if the machine is operating in a trenching application for fine control digging, or if a suitable speed is needed for high-productivity applications.

Optional features for enhanced performance include the four-wheel-drive system, which improves mobility, and an automatic return-to-dig function on the loader attachment, which reduces loading cycle times. The ride control sys- tem, which is also an optional extra, has a shock-absorbing accumulator that cushions the boom, reduces material loss and improves operator comfort. The operator is able to turn this system on or off with an overhead switch.
