Technical Description
The Hyundai HL940 wheel loader is a robust machine engineered for high productivity and durability in industrial, construction, mining, and quarrying applications. Powered by a turbocharged Cummins QSB6.7 engine delivering 156 hp (116 kW) at 2100 rpm and 622 lb-ft torque at 1500 rpm, it offers efficient fuel consumption while meeting stringent emissions standards. The operating weight is approximately 28,880 lbs (13,100 kg). It features a 3.1 cubic yard (2 m³) heaped bucket capacity with an 8.6 ft (2 m) width and breakout force of 24,800 lbs (11,249 kg), optimized for heavy material handling. The loader’s Z-bar linkage provides a dump clearance of 9.2 ft (3 m) at maximum lift, with a reach of 5.1 ft (2 m), ensuring high loading efficiency.
Dimensions include a length of 24.4 ft (7 m), width of 8.6 ft (2 m), height to the top of the cab of 10.9 ft (3 m), and a wheelbase of 9.7 ft (3 m). Ground clearance is 1.4 ft (0.44 m). The hydraulic system uses a variable displacement piston pump with a flow capacity of 39 gallons per minute, a relief valve pressure of 2987 psi, and cycle times optimized for speed: 5.5 seconds lift, 1.1 seconds dump, and 3 seconds lower. The transmission is a full automatic power shift with four forward and three reverse gears, allowing a maximum forward speed of 24.9 mph (40 km/h) and reverse speed of 26.1 mph (42 km/h).
Additional operational capacities include a fuel tank of 58.2 gallons (220 liters), hydraulic fluid capacity of 34.4 gallons (129 liters), and a 24-volt electrical system with a 95-amp alternator. Tires are 20.5 R25, providing stability on rough terrains. The HL940 combines power, efficiency, and durability, supported by Hyundai’s high-grade steel construction and advanced engineering for reliable, long-term operation.
