Hyundai HX380L Excavator

Performance Capabilities and Applications

The HX380L proves particularly effective in specialized block handling operations at granite and marble quarries throughout Southern Africa. Its 21.1 tonne arm crowd force and reinforced linkage system manage the controlled extraction and placement of dimensioned stone blocks weighing several tonnes. The bucket capacity range of 1.44 to 2.32 m³ accommodates both precision work and high-volume material movement.

The machine’s hydraulic system features a two-speed axial piston motor with brake valve and parking brake for precise travel control on quarry ramps and uneven terrain. The fully automatic pilot system with single-acting piping kit for the boom/arm and double-acting piping kit for the bucket enables smooth, controlled movements essential for handling valuable stone products.

Consider the HX380L if your operation requires sustained heavy digging force in hard rock applications, handles dimensional stone blocks, or demands extended reach for deep excavation work. Operations focused primarily on standard earthmoving without specialized block handling requirements may find sufficient capability in smaller capacity excavators.

Heavy-Duty Performance for Southern African Quarrying and Block Handling

Excavators form the backbone of material extraction and processing operations across mining, quarrying, and specialized construction applications. The Hyundai HX380L delivers 194 kW (260 HP) of gross power through its Hyundai HM8.3 engine, handling continuous heavy-duty work in block handling, quarrying, and large-scale earthmoving projects. We supply the HX380L to Southern African operations with comprehensive technical support and genuine parts availability from our regional network.

This 37,200 kg excavator excels in demanding applications where sustained digging force and extended reach determine productivity. The machine’s specialized design addresses the unique requirements of granite and marble block handling operations while maintaining versatility for general excavation work.

Why Choose the Hyundai HX380L Excavator?

  • Purpose-built durability: The reinforced upper and lower structure with heavy-duty 50T class undercarriage withstands the continuous stress of block handling and high-impact quarrying applications common in Southern African stone extraction operations. Wear-resistant cover plates and high-pressure hoses extend component life in abrasive environments
  • Exceptional reach and force: The 6.45 m boom and 3.2 m arm configuration delivers 11,215 mm maximum digging reach with 23.5 tonnes of bucket digging force, enabling efficient material extraction from deep quarry faces and precise positioning of multi-tonne stone blocks without repositioning.
  • Advanced hydraulic efficiency: The variable displacement tandem axis piston pump system with intelligent power control optimizes hydraulic flow based on load requirements. Three operator-selectable power modes (P-power, E-economy, S-standard) adapt performance characteristics to specific task requirements, reducing fuel consumption during lighter operations while maintaining full power for demanding cycles.
  • Operator-focused design: The cabin features a 13% increase in space compared to previous models, with 360-degree visibility through laminated safety glass. Front-side air-conditioning vents direct airflow to the operator’s face in high-temperature conditions, while the mechanical suspension seat without heater suits the predominantly warm Southern African climate.

Technical Specifications

The Hyundai HM8.3 turbocharged, charge air cooled, direct injection engine produces 194 kW gross power at 2,200 rpm with 1,520 Nm peak torque at 1,300 rpm. The machine’s 8.3-liter displacement delivers consistent performance across varying load conditions while meeting emission requirements.

The hydraulic system operates two variable displacement tandem axis piston pumps supplying 2×415 L/min at maximum flow. Main relief pressure reaches 350 kgf/cm² (4,982 psi) for pilot circuits and 380 kgf/cm² (5,400 psi) for swing circuits. Hydraulic oil capacity totals 414 liters, with a 5,000-hour service interval significantly reducing maintenance frequency compared to conventional systems.

The X-leg type carrier frame with integrally welded reinforced box-section track frames distributes the machine’s operating weight across 48 track links per side. Standard triple grouser shoes measure 600 mm width, with options for 700 mm width where ground pressure reduction proves necessary.
