Hyundai R85A Smart Plus Excavator

Productive Power for Tight-Space Excavation

The Hyundai R85A is built for operators who need consistent digging performance without stepping up to a full-sized excavator. With a 76 HP KIRLOSKAR engine delivering steady power through a responsive hydraulic system, the machine handles trenching, loading, and material handling with controlled precision.

On construction sites, trenching and foundation work require accuracy rather than force. The R85A’s hydraulic pressure sensing system adjusts oil flow based on workload, ensuring smooth, predictable movements when working close to structures, services, or finished edges. Improved swing torque and travel speed allow faster repositioning between tasks, helping maintain steady cycle times during truck loading, trench backfilling, or stockpile management.

Built for Daily Site Demands

Durability is critical when machines are exposed to uneven ground, repeated loading, and frequent repositioning. The R85A features a reinforced front attachment and heavy-duty undercarriage to absorb shock and maintain stability, particularly on rough terrain or when handling heavier loads.

A heavier counterweight improves balance during lifting and digging, reducing machine movement and helping operators maintain control when placing material or working on slopes. This added stability is particularly useful when lifting pipes, positioning materials, or working alongside trenches. Structural improvements, including a strengthened engine hood and protected components, extend service life in dusty or abrasive environments where wear is accelerated.

Efficiency That Supports Lower Operating Costs

  • Three working modes (Power, Standard, Economy): Aligns machine output with task demands, allowing operators to prioritise performance or fuel savings depending on the application.
  • Auto deceleration and one-touch idle: Reduces engine speed during pauses, lowering fuel consumption during loading cycles or idle periods.
  • Breaker mode function: Directs hydraulic power efficiently when using attachments, improving performance during breaking or demolition work.
  • Large diameter return hoses: Improve hydraulic flow, supporting smoother combined movements and reducing strain on components.

Operator Control, Comfort and Easy Maintenance

The R85A offers a spacious cab with clear visibility, helping operators stay aware of surroundings when working in confined or busy environments. Smooth lever controls reduce effort during repetitive movements, supporting consistent operation across long shifts.

A digital display provides real-time machine information, allowing operators to monitor key systems and respond early to potential issues before they affect productivity. Ground-level access and extended service intervals simplify daily checks, making routine maintenance quicker and more manageable on active job sites.

Safety systems, including boom and arm holding functions and automatic engine protection, help maintain control and prevent unintended movement or damage when working on slopes, lifting materials, or operating in confined areas.
