The HL760-9S handles maximum-capacity operations moving 250-350 tonnes hourly, including large-scale open-pit mining operations, major quarries supplying regional infrastructure projects, substantial earthmoving contracts, and heavy construction sites throughout Southern Africa. Its 3.1 m³ heaped bucket capacity and 15,950 kg bucket breakout force manage dense overburden, hard rock formations, compacted coal seams, and heavy construction materials whilst maintaining efficient work cycles.
The fully automatic power shift transmission delivers four forward speeds and three reverse speeds calibrated for maximum productivity in high-volume applications. First gear achieves 6.4 km/h for precise loading and positioning operations. Second gear reaches 12.1 km/h for general excavating and loading sequences. Third gear attains 24.2 km/h for medium-range material transport. Fourth gear achieves 38.4 km/h for rapid transit across expansive mining sites, enabling efficient material movement typical of large-scale Southern African mineral extraction operations.
The machine operates effectively with 420 mm ground clearance, 40-degree steering angle (each direction), and 13,120 mm clearance circle. The substantial 3,300 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 encountered throughout regional operations, particularly in uneven terrain common in alluvial mining and open-pit operations.
Four selectable transmission shift modes (Manual/Light/Normal/Heavy) combined with three clutch cut-off settings allow operators to customise machine response. The optional ride control system features a shock-absorbing accumulator that cushions the boom, improves operator comfort, and reduces material loss during transport across rough terrain typical of Southern African mining operations.
Front end loaders are powerful earthmoving machines engineered to efficiently transport, load, and position materials across large-scale mining, quarrying, and heavy construction environments. The Hyundai HL760-9S generates 152 kW of net power from its Hyundai HM8.3 Tier 2 engine, processing up to 3.1 m³ of material per bucket cycle in high-volume mining and quarrying operations. We deliver the HL760-9S to Southern African sites with comprehensive technical support and authentic parts availability through our regional branch network.
This 17,600 kg front end loader excels in sustained operations across demanding mining locations and major quarry sites where maximum capacity and operational reliability directly determine productivity outcomes
The Hyundai HM8.3 powerplant comprises six cylinders with 114 mm bore and 135 mm stroke, displacing 8.3 litres. The turbocharged, charge air-cooled direct injection diesel engine meets EPA Tier II and EU Stage II emission standards whilst delivering proven reliability in demanding applications. The unit operates from a 263-litre fuel tank enabling extended operational periods between refuelling, critical for remote mining locations.
The 17,600 kg operating weight transfers across 23.5 R25, L3 tubeless loader design tyres as standard specification. Optional configurations include 20.5-25, 16PR, L3 tyres, 23.5-25, 20PR, L5 tyres for severe applications, 23.5-25, 20PR, L3 tyres, or 23.5 R25 XHA tyres, accommodating varied ground conditions throughout Southern Africa.
The hydraulic system executes complete bucket sequences in 10.6 seconds, maintaining productivity in continuous truck-loading 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 engine compartment access
