The HD arm of Hyundai has simply launched the primary official photos of the brand new, battery-electric HX19e mini excavator – the primary ever manufacturing electrical excavator from the worldwide South Korean producer.
The HX19e would be the first all-electric asset to enter sequence manufacturing at Hyundai Development Tools, with manufacturing set to start this April.
The brand new HX19e might be provided with both a 32 kWh or 40 kWh li-ion battery pack – which, in accordance with Hyundai, is sort of double the capability provided by its nearest competitor (fairly certain that’s not right –Ed.). The 40kWh battery permits for as much as 6 hours and 40 minutes of steady operation between costs, with a break time top-up on delivering full shift usability.
These batteries ship energy to a 13 kW (17.5 hp) electrical motor that drives an open-center hydraulic system. Hyundai claims the system delivers job web site efficiency that’s at the least equal to, if not higher than, that of its diesel-powered HX19A mini excavator.
To that finish, the Hyundai XH19e provides the identical 16 kN bucket breakout pressure and a barely greater 9.4 kN (simply over 2100 lb-ft) dipper arm breakout pressure. The utmost digging depth is 7.6 toes, and the utmost digging attain is 12.9 toes. Hyundai will provide the brand new electrical excavator with simply 4 selectable choices:
- enclosed cab vs. open cover
- 32 or 40 kWh battery capability
All HX19es will ship with a excessive normal specification that features security valves on the principle growth, dipper arm, and dozer blade hydraulic cylinders, in addition to two-way auxiliary hydraulic piping permits the machine for use with a spread of commercially obtainable implements. The hydraulics wanted to function a fast coupler, LED booms lights, rotating beacons, an MP3 radio with USB connectivity, and an operator’s seat with mechanical suspension are additionally normal.
Like its counterparts at Volvo CE, the brand new Hyundai excavator makes use of automotive-style charging ports to make the most of current infrastructure at fleet depots and public charging stations. Extra detailed specs, dimensions, and pricing needs to be introduced by bauma.
Electrek’s Take
The flexibility to function indoors, underground, or in environments like zoos and hospitals had been preserving noise ranges down is of important significance to the success of an operation makes electrical tools property like these coming from Hyundai essential for fleet operators and building crews that hope to stay aggressive within the face of ever-increasing noise laws. The truth that these are cleaner, safer, and cheaper to function is simply icing on that cake.
