HYUNDAI HL965 WHEEL LOADER

Technical Description

The Hyundai HL965 wheel loader is a high-performance machine designed for heavy-duty material handling with an operating weight of approximately 44,313 lbs (20,100 kg). It is powered by a Cummins QSL9 electronically-controlled diesel engine delivering 269 hp (201 kW) and peak torque of around 1,070 lb-ft, featuring DOC and SCR technologies for emissions compliance and fuel efficiency. The loader's rated bucket capacity is 4.7 cubic yards (3.6 m³), supported by a hydraulically efficient system with a maximum pump output of about 66 gpm and operating pressure near 4,000 psi, enabling rapid cycle times—raising in 5.8 seconds, dumping in 1.4 seconds, and lowering in 3.1 seconds. The HL965 incorporates an improved bucket design with a wider opening, curved side plates, and enhanced spill guards to maximize load retention and durability through use of wear-resistant steel. Its Z-bar linkage configuration provides a breakout force around 38,360 lbs (17400 kg), enabling effective material penetration and lifting. The wheel loader achieves a dump clearance at max raise of about 9.7 feet (3 meters), facilitating efficient unloading. Maneuverability and stability are ensured by four-wheel drive with an oscillating rear axle and hydraulic locking front axle. The cabin offers enhanced operator comfort with an ergonomic ROPS/FOPS-certified design, adjustable air-ride seat, and integrated onboard weighing system with manual and automatic modes for precise load monitoring. Additional features include Hyundai’s Hi-Mate remote management system for monitoring machine health and performance, an Eco Pedal for fuel-optimized power control, and capabilities suited for construction, mining, quarrying, and industrial applications requiring high productivity and durability.
