2009 - 2016 HYUNDAI HL980 WHEEL LOADER

Technical Description

The Hyundai HL980 is a heavy-duty wheel loader engineered for demanding industrial, construction, mining, and quarrying applications. Powered by a Scania DC13 engine delivering 376 hp (280 kW) at 1,800 rpm, this machine combines robust performance with fuel efficiency while meeting Tier 3 emission standards. The HL980 features a 5.6 m³ bucket capacity with a maximum dump clearance of 3.3 meters at full lift and 45-degree discharge angle, enabling efficient material handling in challenging environments. With an operating weight of approximately 31,000 kg (68,430 lbs), the loader achieves a straight tipping load of 24,000 kg and delivers impressive breakout forces for high-load operations. Key performance metrics include a maximum travel speed of 38.2 km/h forward and 25.7 km/h in reverse, with cycle times of 6.6 seconds for raise, 4.0 seconds for lower, and 1.4 seconds for dump operations. The machine incorporates a load-sensing hydraulic system with 280 kgf/cm² system pressure and center-point frame articulation for enhanced maneuverability. Notable features include an adjustable automatic engine shut-down function to reduce idle time and fuel consumption, a 430-liter fuel tank capacity, and an optional hydraulic differential lock to prevent tire slip during demanding operations. The HL980's high-strength design structure has undergone rigorous testing at various worksites, ensuring durability and reliability in tough conditions.
