Advanced Design Features for Greater Efficiency
Hyundai excavators are engineered to deliver exceptional productivity while reducing total operating costs throughout their lifecycle. HPE Africa’s Hyundai R220LS excavators combine robust structural engineering with advanced hydraulic technology, making them a dependable solution for construction, quarrying, mining, and infrastructure projects across Africa.
Designed for demanding earthmoving applications, these 22-tonne excavators offer the ideal balance of power, durability, and fuel efficiency.
Powerful Performance for Heavy-Duty Earthmoving
The Hyundai R220LS operates in the 22-tonne class and is designed to handle medium to heavy-duty workloads with confidence. With an operating weight of 22,000 kg and a 1.2 m³ bucket capacity, these machines provide reliable material handling and excellent stability across a wide range of job sites.
Power comes from a 148 HP Cummins diesel engine that delivers 63.7 kgfm of torque at 1,300 rpm, ensuring dependable performance during heavy digging, lifting, and travel on steep terrain.
Advanced Hydraulic Technology Improves Productivity
At the heart of the R220LS is Hyundai’s advanced hydraulic system, designed to maximise efficiency and operator control.
The integrated CAPO (Computer Aided Power Optimisation) system precisely coordinates the engine and hydraulic pumps to deliver:
Smooth multi-function operation
Strong digging performance
Consistent swing speeds
Faster cycle times
Improved machine responsiveness
This intelligent hydraulic management system enables operators to maintain high productivity, even in demanding working conditions.
Excellent Traction in Challenging Conditions
Hyundai R220LS excavators are engineered to work confidently on difficult terrain. With the ability to climb slopes of up to 35 degrees and a fully hydrostatic drive system producing a maximum drawbar pull of 21,100 kgf, these machines maintain traction on muddy, loose, and uneven surfaces.
This capability allows operators to continue working efficiently while reducing the risk of machines becoming immobilised in difficult ground conditions.
Fuel Efficiency Helps Reduce Operating Costs
Lower operating costs are a key advantage of the Hyundai R220LS.
Features including:
ECO Mode
Auto deceleration
Electro-hydraulic control
work together to minimise fuel consumption without compromising productivity. These technologies help contractors reduce fuel costs while lowering the machine’s overall Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) over its service life.
Built for Long-Term Durability
Durability has been engineered into every aspect of the Hyundai R220LS.
Key features include:
Reinforced upper frame
Heavy-duty undercarriage
Robust front-end components
Strengthened structural design
These enhancements enable the excavator to withstand harsh operating environments while maintaining dependable performance over extended working periods.
Operator Comfort and Safety
A comfortable operator is a productive operator.
The Hyundai R220LS features a spacious, ergonomically designed cab with excellent visibility and intuitive controls to reduce fatigue during long working hours.
Safety systems include:
Boom and arm holding functions
Counterbalance valves
Engine protection features
Together, these systems provide stable and secure operation across demanding applications.
Simplified Maintenance Maximises Uptime
Routine servicing has been designed to be fast and straightforward.
Ground-level access to service points, extended maintenance intervals, and an easy-to-use diagnostic interface help reduce downtime and improve machine availability.
The onboard display provides real-time machine information and maintenance alerts, allowing operators and technicians to plan preventative servicing more effectively.
Smart Fleet Management with Hi-MATE
Hyundai’s Hi-MATE remote management system provides valuable fleet management capabilities through:
Performance monitoring
Machine location tracking
Maintenance scheduling
Service planning
This connected technology helps fleet managers improve equipment utilisation while reducing unexpected downtime.
