Hyundai Construction Equipment is introducing the HW250A MH, a dedicated materials handler for the recycling and waste handling industries. With a choice of booms and an elevating cab structure, the HW250MH combines productivity with fuel efficiency.
The HW250MH builds on the success of Hyundai’s popular wheeled excavator range. Weighing 26.1-tonnes, the machine comes as standard with front and rear outriggers, providing maximum stability when lifting. Equipped with a 6.5m mono boom, the handler has a 4.5m gooseneck arm as standard, for use with an orange peel grapple or a clamshell bucket. Alternatively, customers can opt for a 4m straight arm if using a sorting grab. Maximum working height is 12m with either configuration.
Sitting on a 2.8m wheelbase, the materials handler has a parallel lift cab that delivers up to 2.9m of additional height, to allow operators to see into the working area. The support frame is constructed as a box structure for maximum durability. There is a manual lift control in the cab and a second control at ground level in case of emergencies. The robust upper structure is further protected by standard side bumpers, to protect against impact and a falling object (FOGS) guard is available as an option.
Twin side-mounted main lift cylinders are used for the main boom, delivering increased stability and balance, when compared to a single central cylinder. The machine is equipped with additional steps on the front outrigger and on the cab, to make it easier for the operator to enter and exit safely.
The operator’s seat and controls can be adjusted to suit all sizes of driver, with independent height options for the seat and console. There is a high-capacity air conditioning system and the well-known Hyundai wheeled excavator cab has extensive glazing for maximum visibility. A 7” colour monitor and toggle switch allow the operator to select individual machine preferences. The monitor also provides real-time operating data and various diagnostic functions and can be used to display the rear- and side-view camera feed.
The HW250MH builds on Hyundai’s presence in the market and pushes into new sectors across Europe, in demolition, recycling, forestry and dockside bulk handling. The machine benefits from the company’s expertise in the wheeled excavator market, building on that experience to deliver a dedicated materials handling solution, with the backing and support of Hyundai’s European dealer network.
