HPE Africa is the proud supplier of Hyundai Tracked Excavators across Southern Africa.
When your project requires reliable digging performance in challenging African conditions, a tracked excavator needs to deliver consistent power throughout extended shifts. HPE Africa supplies the complete Hyundai tracked excavator range, from the compact R220LS to the heavy-duty R850LC-9, providing equipment that matches your specific excavation requirements
These machines handle the excavation work your operation demands.
The mid-range models — R220LS through R260LC-9S — excel in utility installation, foundation work, and site development where you need to reach depths between 6 and 7 metres with bucket capacities from 0.91m3 to 1.24m3. For deeper excavations in mining operations or large earthmoving projects, the HX300SL through HX500L deliver depths up to 11 metres with bucket forces that penetrate compacted soils and rock without difficulty.
The smaller R220LS works effectively in confined urban sites — roadworks, building excavations, and municipal projects where transport restrictions and limited working space determine equipment selection. This model provides adequate reach and bucket capacity for residential and light commercial applications while maintaining mobility on congested jobsites.
Hyundai's hydraulic systems match pump output to attachment requirements, allowing operators to complete digging and swing cycles efficiently without excessive fuel burn. This translates to lower operating costs per cubic meter of material moved. The HX380L, for instance, combines this hydraulic efficiency with substantial digging forces, giving you the cycle times needed for high-volume earthmoving operations.
Operator visibility directly impacts productivity and site safety. These tracked excavators position operators with clear sightlines to bucket teeth, track edges, and surrounding personnel. This visibility proves essential during trench work and loading operations where operators must maintain spatial awareness throughout full production shifts.
HPE Africa stocks genuine Hyundai components and maintains technical support capability across our service network. These machines require systematic maintenance — hydraulic filter service, undercarriage inspections, and engine system care — and we recommend establishing preventive maintenance intervals that reflect your operating intensity. Our technicians understand multi-shift operation demands and coordinate service scheduling to minimize production interruption.
When you're ready to discuss which tracked excavator configuration matches your excavation requirements and site parameters, our equipment specialists provide practical recommendations based on your actual operational needs. We'll help you determine the right model based on productive capacity rather than simply maximum specifications.
