The H940S handles diverse construction operations including municipal infrastructure development, building site excavation, utility trench digging, material loading operations, and landscaping projects throughout Southern African construction sites. The loader section achieves strong breakout force with 0.8 m³ general-purpose bucket capacity as standard, whilst optional configurations include 0.7 m³ bucket with bolt-on teeth, 0.9 m³ bucket with teeth, 1.0 m³ general-purpose bucket with bolt-on cutting edge, or versatile 1.0 m³ multi-purpose bucket.
The backhoe section delivers powerful excavation performance with standard 0.2 m³ bucket capacity, reaching maximum dig depth with 2.63 metres standard boom or optional 2.81 metres extended boom configuration. The standard 2.0 metres arm extends from 2.0 to 3.12 metres with optional extendable dipper, significantly increasing versatility for varied excavation requirements. Additional backhoe bucket options include 0.17 m³, 0.26 m³, 0.3 m³, and narrow 0.1 m³ configurations accommodating specialized applications from wide trenches to restricted utility corridors.
The four-speed helical-cut gear, full power-shift transmission delivers efficient operation across construction site conditions. First gear achieves 5.8 km/h forward and 7.3 km/h reverse for precise loading and excavation operations. Second gear reaches 10.5 km/h forward and 13.2 km/h reverse for general work sequences. Third gear attains 21.0 km/h forward and 20.8 km/h reverse for site positioning. Fourth gear delivers 37.0 km/h forward travel speed for rapid transit between work areas. The standard two-wheel drive configuration upgrades to an optional four-wheel drive system with on-the-go activation, significantly improving mobility and loader performance across challenging ground conditions.
Optional ride control system minimizes loader lift bounce when travelling over rough terrain, reducing material spillage whilst improving travel with full bucket. The system engages via a convenient switch on side console, enhancing job site productivity, operator comfort, and overall safety. Optional automatic return-to-dig function reduces loading cycle times through automated bucket positioning.
Backhoe loaders represent versatile construction equipment combining front loading and rear excavation capabilities, engineered for diverse earthmoving, trenching, material handling, and site preparation operations across construction and infrastructure projects. The Hyundai H940S generates 100 HP gross power from its Perkins 1104C-44T turbocharged engine, processing 0.8 m³ loader bucket capacity and 0.2 m³ backhoe bucket capacity for municipal works, building construction, utility installations, and landscaping applications. We deliver the H940S to Southern African contractors with comprehensive technical support and genuine parts availability through our regional service network.
This 7,690 kg backhoe loader excels in varied construction environments requiring both efficient material loading and precision excavation capabilities throughout the region.
The Perkins 1104C-44T powerplant comprises four cylinders with turbocharged aspiration, displacing 4.4 litres. The water-cooled diesel engine operates from a 127-litre fuel tank, supporting extended operational periods between refuelling essential for remote Southern African construction locations.
The standard 7,690 kg operating weight (two-wheel drive, general-purpose bucket, 350 kg counterweight, ROPS/FOPS canopy, standard dipper) transfers across 11L-16SL, 12PR front tyres and 18.4-26, 12PR rear tyres. Optional four-wheel drive configuration with multi-purpose bucket, 150 kg counterweight, ROPS/FOPS cabin, and extendable dipper achieves 8,460 kg operating weight. Optional tyre configurations include 12.5/80-18, 12PR or 340/80-18, 143A8 Michelin front tyres for four-wheel drive applications, plus various rear tyre options including 16.9-28, 12PR, 21L-24, 10PR, 440/80-28, 156A8 Michelin, or 480/80-26, 160A8 Michelin specifications.
The hydraulic system features 93-litre total capacity with 50-litre hydraulic tank refill capacity. Regular maintenance benefits from tilt-up hood providing ground-level access to the engine compartment, filters, and service points. Visible hydraulic oil sight gauge enables convenient inspection. Power-assisted hydraulic wet disc service brakes with inboard mounting feature self-adjusting and self-equalizing design for reliable performance, whilst spring-applied, hydraulically released parking brake operates independently via electric switch control.
