New six-tonne crawler excavator from Hyundai

25 Mar 14 Hyundai Heavy Industries Europe has replaced its R60CR-9 short tail swing crawler excavator with a new R60CR-9A model.

The new machine has 10% more power than the old model, Hyundai says. The Stage IIIB Yanmar 4TNV98C engine provides 48.3kW of power and a maximum torque of 24 kgf.m.  Fuel consumption has been reduced by 14%, the manufacturer claims.

A larger and more efficient radiator and oil cooler provides increased cooling capacity by higher air flow rate.  The cooling capacity in the –9A is 30% higher than the -9 Series.

An arm flow summation system provides energy savings, reduced cavitation and increased speed. To improve safety and avoid boom drift the R60CR-9A is equipped with an integrated boom holding system.

The R60CR-9A offers arm digging force to 26.5kN and a bucket digging force of 40.9 kN in the short arm version.  The machine has an operating weight of 5,900kg and a maximum digging depth of 3,570mm. 

The R60CR-9A cabin structure has been fitted with stronger but slimmer tubing for added safety and improved visibility. The new LED cluster allows the operator to select personal machine preferences. The monitor displays engine rpm, engine oil temperature, water temperature and information for all electronic devices. Button selections are provided for auto idle mode, max power mode, and travel speed. The operating system can also be password protected.
