Negotiations are underway to add a Hyundai branded demolition specification excavator to Hyundai Heavy Industries Europe’s construction equipment range in 2007.

The machine has been developed by Hyundai’s Spanish dealer Biurrarena to meet the needs of its customers in Spain and Hyundai hopes to be able to offer the modified machine, under the Hyundai name, to customers elsewhere in Europe.

The machine is based on Hyundai’s 45 tonne R450LC-7 and will have a maximum 26.3 m vertical reach and a 14 m horizontal reach. According to Biurrarena, the boom can be fitted on machines with an operating weight of 36 to 48 tons (32 to 43 tonnes).

Biurrarena divisional director José Ramón Telleris Suinaga said, “The boom has a modular design which means that it can be dismantled for transportation. But it can also be shortened to allow demolition at different working heights and for the machine to be used as a conventional excavator.”

The new demolition specification machine is part of Hyundai’s plans to widen its product ranges. Other new machines expected in 2007 include an 80 tonne excavator, a short tail swing excavator and joystick operated wheeled loaders. The company is also expected to add backhoe loaders and further short tail swing machine in the next few years.
