The HX500L excels in high-volume production mining where sustained material movement exceeds 300 tonnes per hour. Its bucket capacity range of 1.38 to 3.20 m³ accommodates both precision excavation in confined areas and maximum productivity loading of 40-tonne haul trucks. The machine’s 39,674 kgf maximum drawbar pull enables effective operation on steep haul road gradients up to 35 degrees.
Multiple boom and arm configurations provide operational flexibility for varying application requirements. The 7.06 m boom with 2.90 m arm delivers 11,670 mm maximum digging reach, enabling efficient material extraction from quarry faces without frequent repositioning. The extended 9.0 m boom with 6.0 m arm configuration achieves 16,110 mm maximum reach for specialized applications requiring exceptional horizontal coverage.
The hydraulic system operates at 330 kgf/cm² relief pressure for implementing circuits, with power boost capability reaching 360 kgf/cm² for boom, arm, and bucket operations. This provides 279.5 kN (28,500 kgf) ISO bucket digging force and 246.2 kN (25,100 kgf) ISO arm crowd force with standard configuration, handling dense materials without compromising cycle times.
Consider the HX500L if your operation requires sustained high-volume production in demanding conditions, handles material densities exceeding 2,100 kg/m³, or demands extended reach capabilities for specialized excavation work. Operations focused on lighter earthmoving with lower hourly production requirements may find adequate capability in smaller capacity excavators
Excavators serve as critical production equipment in large-scale mining, quarrying, and civil construction projects where material movement volumes determine operational profitability. The Hyundai HX500L delivers 246 kW (330 HP) of net power through its Cummins X12 engine, handling continuous heavy-duty excavation and loading operations in demanding Southern African applications. We supply the HX500L to operations across the region with comprehensive technical support and genuine parts availability from our established network.
This 49,900 kg excavator operates effectively in high-volume production environments where sustained digging force, extended reach, and bucket capacity directly impact hourly throughput. The machine’s robust design addresses the extreme conditions encountered in open-cast mining operations and large-scale infrastructure development projects throughout Southern Africa.
The Cummins X12 engine features electronic control with common rail fuel injection, optimizing combustion efficiency across the operating range. Fuel tank capacity of 660 liters supports extended operating shifts in remote locations. The machine consumes approximately 25-30 liters per hour under typical loading conditions, varying with material density and operator technique.
The X-leg type center frame with integrally welded reinforced box-section track frames distributes operating weight across 53 track links per side. Standard 600 mm triple grouser shoes provide 0.87 kgf/cm² ground pressure, with options for 700 mm, 800 mm, and 900 mm widths reducing ground pressure to 0.60 kgf/cm² for soft underfoot conditions.
