HPE Africa is the proud supplier of Hyundai Motor Graders across Southern Africa.
When you’re building roads, maintaining haul routes, or preparing sites across African terrain, your motor grader needs to deliver accurate blade control and reliable performance throughout extended shifts. HPE Africa stocks the Hyundai motor grader range, from the HG190 to the HG220, providing you with machines that match your grading requirements and site conditions.
The HG190 and HG220 deliver increased capacity for larger infrastructure projects—mine haul roads, provincial road construction, and extensive earthmoving operations. With moldboard widths reaching 4,320mm and operating weights up to 15.8 tons, these models provide the stability and cutting force required when you're processing harder materials or working on steep grades common across African topography.
Hyundai equips these motor graders with Cummins turbocharged engines delivering between 97kW and 160kW, matched to ZF technology powershift transmissions. This combination gives your operators six forward and three reverse gears, allowing them to select the precise speed for each pass whilst maintaining blade control. The HG220, for instance, produces 160kW at 2,200rpm with 908Nm of torque, providing the power needed for cutting through dense gravel or shaped subgrade materials.
The articulated frame design and tandem drive configuration work together to maintain blade stability across uneven surfaces. You'll notice this matters most during finish grading where operators need to achieve specified tolerances without repeated passes. The ±26° articulation range allows operators to position the machine for optimal blade angle whilst keeping rear wheels tracking properly through loose material.
Visibility directly affects grading accuracy and cycle efficiency. These motor graders position operators with clear sightlines to moldboard edges, front tire positions, and grade stakes. This visibility reduces the need for ground personnel to guide operations, which improves safety whilst allowing your operators to maintain consistent blade elevation throughout 10-hour shifts.
When you're building haul roads, preparing mining infrastructure, or constructing provincial routes, the HG190 and HG220 provide the blade width and operating weight necessary for wider cutting paths and deeper material penetration. The HG220's 4,320mm moldboard completes fewer passes on wide roads, which reduces fuel consumption per kilometer whilst improving surface consistency.
Ground conditions matter significantly. The oscillating tandem drive system maintains tire contact across uneven surfaces, reducing bounce that affects blade control. This proves particularly valuable on rocky substrates or where you're working across drainage culverts and utility crossings common in African road construction.
Hyundai offers optional attachments that expand these motor graders beyond finish work. Front dozer blades allow operators to windrow material or clear obstacles without repositioning the machine. Mid-mount V-type scarifiers with 11 shanks break up compacted surfaces before grading passes, whilst rear-mounted rippers with 3 or 5 shanks handle harder materials that require initial loosening.
The optional automatic leveling device provides 2D grade control, which improves accuracy whilst reducing operator fatigue during extended finish grading. This technology particularly benefits projects with specified tolerances for road crown or drainage slopes where manual blade control requires constant adjustment.
We stock genuine Hyundai parts and provide technical support across our service network. These motor graders require regular maintenance—hydraulic system service, circle and moldboard wear insert inspection, and drivetrain care—and we recommend establishing preventive maintenance schedules that match your operating intensity. Our technicians understand the demands of infrastructure projects and work with you to plan service intervals that minimize disruption to critical path activities.
The ZF powershift transmission and Cummins engines represent proven technology with established service procedures. This matters when you're operating in remote locations where extended downtime affects project schedules. We maintain parts inventory for common wear items—cutting edges, circle teeth, hydraulic seals—and provide technical guidance for site-based maintenance your crews can perform between scheduled services.
When you're ready to discuss which motor grader configuration matches your project specifications and material conditions, our equipment specialists provide assessments based on your actual operational requirements. We'll help you determine the right model and attachment package without overselling capacity your projects don't require.
The range provides blade side shift up to 965mm and shoulder reach extending 2,367mm outside the rear tire centreline. These measurements determine your ability to grade drainage ditches, cut shoulders, and work around obstacles without repositioning. Maximum cutting depth reaches 560mm, whilst lift height of 450mm allows operators to clear obstacles or work elevated sections.
Hydraulic system output ranges from 99 L/min to 140.8 L/min at rated engine speed, delivering the flow necessary for responsive blade control during grading passes. Maximum system pressure of 17.5 MPa provides the force required for circle rotation under load and maintaining blade penetration through variable materials.
Operating on African projects means your equipment faces dust, heat, and extended service intervals. These motor graders incorporate dry-type air cleaners and cooling systems sized for ambient temperatures common across the continent. Fuel tank capacity reaches 370 liters across the range, providing operating time between refueling that suits remote site logistics.
Your road construction, mine development, and infrastructure projects demand equipment that performs reliably across challenging conditions. Hyundai's motor grader range delivers the blade control, power, and stability your operators need to achieve grade specifications whilst maintaining the productivity your schedules require.
