The HL740-9S handles high-capacity operations moving 180-280 tonnes hourly, including large-scale mining operations, major quarries feeding infrastructure projects, substantial municipal developments, and heavy construction sites. Its 2.1 m³ heaped bucket capacity and 11,880 kg bucket breakout force manage dense materials, hard rock, compacted overburden, and construction aggregates whilst maintaining efficient work cycles.
The fully automatic power shift transmission delivers four forward speeds and three reverse speeds calibrated for maximum productivity. First gear achieves 6.9 km/h for precise loading and positioning operations. Second gear reaches 12.5 km/h for general excavating and loading sequences. Third gear attains 24.1 km/h for medium-range material transport. Fourth gear achieves 40.0 km/h for rapid transit across expansive work sites, enabling efficient material movement across large mining operations common in mineral extraction.
The HL740-9S Front End Loaders operate effectively across regional terrains with 417 mm ground clearance, 40-degree steering angle (each direction), and 11,540 mm clearance circle. The 2,900 mm wheelbase provides exceptional stability during loading operations whilst the ±12-degree rear axle oscillation (24 degrees total) maintains reliable traction across irregular mining surfaces and construction sites. This substantial oscillation range proves particularly valuable in varied terrain conditions encountered throughout Southern Africa’s operations.
Four selectable transmission shift modes (Manual/Light/Normal/Heavy) and three clutch cut-off settings allow operators to customise machine response for specific site conditions. The optional ride control system features a shock-absorbing accumulator that cushions the boom, improves operator comfort, and reduces material loss during transport. This versatility contributes to improved productivity, enhanced operator comfort, and reduced fuel consumption across diverse applications.
Front end loaders are critical earthmoving machines designed to efficiently transport, load, and position materials across mining, quarrying, and heavy construction environments. The Hyundai HL740-9S generates 107 kW of net power from its Cummins 6BTA5.9 Tier 1 engine, processing up to 2.1 m³ of material per bucket cycle in demanding mining and large-scale construction operations. We deliver the HL740-9S to sites with comprehensive technical support and authentic parts available throughout our branch network.
This 11,550 kg front end loader excels in sustained operations across challenging mining locations and major construction sites where robust performance and dependability directly determine project success.
The Cummins 6BTA5.9 powerplant comprises six cylinders with 102 mm bore and 120 mm stroke, displacing 5.9 litres. The watercooled, four-cycle, turbocharged, direct injection engine with mechanical controls meets Tier 1 emission standards whilst delivering proven reliability in remote locations. The unit operates from a 230-litre fuel tank enabling extended operational periods between refuelling.
The 11,550 kg operating weight transfers across 20.5-25, 16PR, L3 tubeless loader design tyres as standard specification. Optional configurations include 17.5-25, 12PR, L3 tyres, 20.5-25, 16PR, L2 tyres, 20.5 R25 XHA tyres, or 20.5-25, 16PR, L5 tyres for severe applications, with each option affecting operating weight and tipping loads according to application requirements throughout the region.
The hydraulic system executes complete bucket sequences in 10.2 seconds, maintaining productivity in continuous operations. Regular maintenance benefits from 5,000-hour hydraulic oil change intervals whilst the cooling fan integrates into the rear service door which swings open over 45 degrees for straightforward access to the engine compartment.
