Hyundai Construction Equipment Americas had made improvements to its 3-1/2-ton class Hyundai R35Z-9A compact excavator. One of seven 9A series models, the Hyundai R35Z-9A compact excavator features a zero-tail swing design for optimum maneuverability in confined work spaces.

New standard features include a Werk Brau-compatible thumb bracket, a diverter valve for easy switching between a thumb or attachment, proportional control levers with two-way piping, pin-grabber style dual-locking quick coupler and O/C piping, enhanced bucket design with lifting-eye and two-piece tooth design for easy replacement, increased curve profile on dozer blade for better grade and cutting ability, an easily replaceable cutting edge to the dozer blade, a wider opening engine compartment, and a durable centered boom LED work light for improved jobsite illumination. A new optional feature is the four-way angle dozer blade.

The R35Z-9A model features a fuel efficient Yanmar engine producing 23.7 hp, large cab with powerful air conditioning, suspension seat, and fold-up travel pedals for enhanced floor space. The machine’s boom swing capability allows the operator to offset the boom 75 degrees to the left and 50 degrees to the right, facilitating close work alongside foundations and other structures, especially in congested areas.

Maximum digging depth is 10 feet, 3 inches. Bucket breakout force is 6,900 lb.-ft. Standard bucket capacity is 0.14 cubic yards.

Hyundai offers a three-year/3,000-hour warranty and 5-year/10,000-hour structural guarantee.
