Innovative Power and Speed

At the core of every HX excavator is a fuel-efficient and powerful Cummins or Yanmar diesel engine that meets stringent Tier 4 Final/Stage 5 emission standards. An integrated emission control system reduces both emissions and maintenance requirements.

Hyundai's exclusive technologies precisely manage engine output and hydraulic pump flow for maximum efficiency. The Electronic Pump Flow Control (EPFC) system enables faster, smoother operation with optimized attachment control. Additional enhancements deliver faster truck loading and leveling times compared to previous excavator models.

Superior Operator Experience

Climb into the redesigned HX excavator cab and you'll immediately appreciate the added space, visibility, and ergonomics. Operators benefit from more foot room, a wider field of view, and controls positioned for comfort and ease of operation.

On the safety front, HX cabs come equipped with features like AAVM cameras providing a 360-degree birds eye view, viscous cabin mounts reducing vibration, and an Intelligent Moving Object Detection (IMOD) system that alerts operators to nearby movement. Easy entry/exit, climate control, and adjustable seats ensure operators can work comfortably for extended periods.

Simple Serviceability and Support

Routine maintenance on HX excavators is made easy with wide-open access doors and covers, centralized grease fittings, and easy-change plastic air cleaners. Hyundai's exclusive Hi-Mate remote management system allows 24/7 monitoring of service intervals and performance data to optimize machine utilization and plan timely maintenance.

Hi-Mate also connects to Cummins QuickServe for remote troubleshooting advice and parts/service support. Handlers Equipment technicians receive tailored diagnostic reports to arrive prepared for service calls.

All HX excavators are backed by Hyundai's industry-leading 3-year/3,000-hour warranty, 5-year/10,000-hour structural warranty, and nationwide network of dealer support. Extended warranty coverage is also available through the Hyundai Extend protection plan.
