The sloping rear chassis section evenly spreads the load between the front and rear axles. The HA30A has a 16.8m3 heaped body capacity, that rises to 17.8m3 with a tailgate fitted. The larger HA45A offers a 24.4m3 heaped capacity, rising to 26.0m3 with a tailgate. Both dump bodies can be optionally heated by the engine exhaust gases, to prevent freezing and sticking of materials when operating in colder temperatures. Internal wear plates are available as an option for hard rock use.
Proven Powertrain
Hyundai has employed powerful EU Stage V-compliant Scania diesel engines to power both trucks. The HA30A uses a five- cylinder, 9.3-litre, DC9 turbocharged diesel, developing 375hp (276kW) and 1,876Nm of torque. The larger HA45A employs a six-cylinder, 12.7-litre DC13 diesel engine, producing a maximum 500hp (368kW) and 2,476Nm of torque.
Both engines drive through eight-speed ZF automatic transmissions, with integrated retarders. The torque converter has lock-up in all gears, reducing fuel consumption and increasing efficiency. Fuel, AdBlue diesel engine exhaust fluid and a standard auto-lube greasing system can all be easily accessed from ground level, for improved site safety. The engine canopy tilts forward for access to filters and fill points, while the complete cab structure can also be tilted towards the rear of the truck, to provide access for repair and maintenance.
Hyundai’s Himate telematic monitoring system is standard, with satellite and GSM connectivity, to reach the most inaccessible construction and mining sites across the world. This allows customers to remotely monitor productivity, fuel consumption, system warning and maintenance status, reducing unplanned downtime and improving fleet utilisation.
Comfort and Protection
With the most spacious ROPS/FOPS cab on the market, the Hyundai ADT features an ergonomic layout to the controls, which are easily reached from the high-quality air-suspended operator’s seat. The specification includes an MP3 and Bluetooth-compatible radio, USB charger, all-round safety rails and a foot rest. There is plenty of storage around the cab interior, with room for an optional cool/hot box and 12V power sockets for operator phones and other accessories. Full
cab climate control is standard on both models and the cab boasts an internal sound level of just 72dB(A), for
maximum comfort throughout the working day.
The sloping bonnet provides an excellent view to the front of the truck and there are sliding side windows with hand rails to the side of the seat. A comprehensive monitor panel provides an integrated payload meter, to prevent overloading and to record productivity. Diagnostic functions are included within the monitoring system and the operator can remotely check hydraulic and transmission oil levels from the cab. A gradient meter ensures that the truck is driven safely within its limits, while an integrated rear-view camera and large mirrors provide excellent all-round visibility, when reversing under an excavator or into the tipping area.
The Hyundai HA30A and HA45A articulated dump trucks provide an ideal excavating partner for a wide range of crawler excavators and wheeled loading shovels. Designed primarily for major earthmoving and muckshifting projects, highways construction and mine and quarry operations, Hyundai’s articulated haulers provide maximum drive and traction in the worst site conditions, maintaining all-year round productivity for the customer.
The two ADTs are the first visible sign of the new cooperation between Hyundai Construction Equipment Europe (HCEE) and Hyundai Doosan Infracore (HDI), since the purchase of the Doosan business last year by Hyundai Heavy Industries Group. HCEE and HDI now operate as separate divisions within Hyundai Genuine, maintaining their independent management and dealer network structures.
Further technological integration will create natural synergies between the two companies, in research and development, design, engineering, procurement and manufacturing, boosting profitability for the Group. The two companies will develop integrated platforms for excavators and wheeled loaders, while their individual sales power will be strengthened, through the marketing of complementary equipment.
