Hyundai R150LS Smart Plus Excavator

Performance Capabilities and Applications

The R150LS manages excavation projects processing 300-450 m³ daily, suitable for municipal infrastructure work, residential subdivision development, and medium-depth utility installations. Its 11,290 kg bucket digging force and 8,580 kg arm crowd force handle compacted roadbase materials and weathered formations without requiring oversized equipment.

The four operating modes optimize machine response for varying applications. Power mode delivers maximum hydraulic flow for loading articulated dump trucks and processing dense materials. Standard mode balances cycle speed with fuel consumption for general excavation tasks. Economy mode extends operating hours during finish grading and light material handling. The dedicated breaker mode maintains optimal hydraulic pressure for hammer attachments without manual adjustment between tasks.

The longer undercarriage design provides superior stability for side-loading operations on sloped sites common to road construction projects. Ground pressure of 0.36 kg/cm² through standard 600mm triple grouser shoes enables work on prepared surfaces without excessive ground disturbance or track slippage.

Consider the R150LS if your operations require consistent excavation depths between 4-5 meters, regular lift capacities exceeding 2,000 kg at 4.5 meter reach, and daily production volumes of 300-450 m³. Projects requiring excavation beyond 6 meters depth or bucket capacities exceeding 0.80 m³ should evaluate larger capacity excavators.

Mid-Size Power for Southern African Infrastructure Projects

Mid-size excavators deliver the digging depth and lift capacity required for road construction, pipeline installations, and medium-scale earthmoving operations. The Hyundai R150LS Smart Plus produces 78 kW (105 HP) through its turbocharged Hyundai HM 4.2 engine, achieving excavation depths to 5.3 meters and bucket capacities to 0.72 m³ in demanding Southern African construction environments. We supply the R150LS with comprehensive technical support and genuine parts availability through our regional service network.

This 14,200 kg excavator suits contractors managing daily excavation volumes of 300-450 cubic meters across road construction projects, utility trenching operations, and site development work where reach and stability determine project efficiency.

Why Choose the Hyundai R150LS Smart Plus?

  • Advanced hydraulic control: The open-center main control valve with redesigned water oil galleries delivers faster response times and 10% increase in digging forces compared to previous models, accelerating cycle times on truck loading operations
  • Extended maintenance intervals: Hydraulic oil service extends to 5,000 operating hours with engine oil changes every 500 hours, reducing maintenance frequency and maximizing equipment availability across multi-shift operations
  • Proven durability: The reinforced X-frame undercarriage and 600mm track chain handle abrasive materials and uneven terrain common to Southern African construction sites without premature wear

Technical Specifications

The Hyundai HM 4.2 engine consumes approximately 12-15 liters of fuel per hour under typical load conditions, with a 270-liter tank supporting full-day operation between refueling. The machine’s 14,200 kg operating weight includes standard equipment and 0.72 m³ general purpose bucket.

Routine servicing occurs every 250 hours with ground-level access to all critical service points. The large LCD monitor displays maintenance countdown timers and self-diagnostic information, supporting proactive servicing schedules that prevent unplanned downtime during critical project phases.

The machine operates effectively in ambient temperatures from -5°C to 40°C, covering conditions experienced across Southern African construction regions. The reinforced engine hood with improved radiator design addresses high-temperature operating environments while protecting cooling system components from impact damage.
