The HL665VL handles high-capacity operations moving 150-250 tonnes hourly, including aggregate quarries feeding major construction projects, open-cast coal extraction in Mpumalanga, or substantial municipal infrastructure developments. Its 3.0 m³ heaped bucket volume and 159 kN breakout strength manage tough Highveld dolerite, dense coal deposits, and consolidated materials whilst maintaining efficient work cycles.
The power shift transmission offers two forward gears and one reverse gear calibrated for loading and transport productivity. First gear achieves 12.2 km/h for precise loading operations and short-distance material movement. Second gear delivers 38.0 km/h for rapid long-haul transport between work areas. Reverse gear attains 16.5 km/h for efficient repositioning during continuous loading operations.
The HL665VL Front End Loaders operate reliably in temperatures spanning -5°C to 45°C without thermal concerns, accommodating the full spectrum encountered throughout Southern Africa mining territories. The patented high-performance cooling architecture preserves ideal hydraulic fluid and coolant temperatures following 24 hours of uninterrupted operation in 45°C ambient heat, making it suitable for demanding mining environments.
The 3,200 mm wheelbase paired with a compact 5,630 mm turning radius at bucket edge delivers remarkable agility within restricted quarry layouts whilst preserving stability throughout loading sequences. The 11-degree rear axle oscillation guarantees reliable traction across irregular surfaces inherent to mining landscapes, maintaining productivity on uneven terrain.
Front end loaders are essential earthmoving machines designed to efficiently transport, load, and position materials in mining, quarrying, and heavy construction environments. The Hyundai HL665VL generates 162 kW of rated power from its Weichai Steyr WD10G220E23 Tier 2 engine, processing up to 3.0 m³ of material per bucket cycle in demanding aggregate and mining operations. We deliver the HL665VL to Southern Africa’s sites with comprehensive technical support and authentic parts available through our branch network.
This 17,000 kg front end loader excels in sustained operations across challenging Highveld mining locations and coastal quarries where uptime and dependability directly determine profitability.
The Weichai Steyr WD10G220E23 powerplant comprises six cylinders with 126 mm bore and 130 mm stroke, totalling 9.7 litres displacement. The unit operates from a 300-litre fuel reservoir enabling extended work periods without refuelling interruptions, critical for remote mining operations.
The 17,000 kg working weight transfers across 23.5-25 16PR tyres as baseline specification. Optional tubeless tyres for desert terrain and tube tyres for extreme applications with abrasive material broaden adaptability throughout varied Southern Africa conditions. The improved tipping capacity of 10,400 kg stems from refined centre of gravity positioning with 54% rear axle weight distribution.
The hydraulic circuit functions at 17 MPa system pressure via a 104.9 mL/r gear pump featuring Parker brand elements for enhanced dependability. Complete bucket sequences execute in 10.0 seconds, maintaining productivity in continuous truck-filling operations. The box-section rear chassis design with reinforced side panel construction resists demanding conditions standard in Southern Africa mining work.
Regular maintenance gains from ground-level positioning of fuel and oil filters, lubrication points, and mechanical components. Wide-access hood panels afford straightforward entry to the powerplant bay whilst quick-changeable brake disc assemblies permit operators to evaluate brake pad condition without wheel removal.
