More and more operators are realizing the versatility, comfort and productivity of Hyundai Construction’s line of compact radius excavators. These state-of-the art earthmoving machines are perfect for tight, confined jobsites and designed for maximum performance.
For projects requiring small excavators, the R27Z-9 and R35Z-9 zero tail swing models offer a tail-swing radius of 2.7 and 2.10 ft, respectively. This gives users a choice for easy, efficient operation on sites where space is tight. The 6,350-lb R27Z-9 is powered by a reliable 24.7-hp Mitsubishi S3L2 engine. The machine has a dig depth of 6.10-ft and bucket-digging force of 4,520 lbf.
The R35Z-9 zero tail swing weighs 8,050 lbs and is powered by a 27.3-hp Yanmar 3TNV88, water-cooled, four-cycle engine. The R35Z-9 has a dig depth of 7.2 ft and bucket digging force 7,050 lbf. You can select rubber or steel tracks on either the R27Z-9 or the R35Z-9.
In the middle of the Hyundai compact radius lineup is the 13,010-lb R60CR-9 and the 18,410-lb R80CR-9 compact radius models. The tail swing radius of the R60CR-9 is a tight 3.7 ft, while the R80CR-9 is just 4.2 ft. The large size and nimble maneuverability makes these models ideal for light construction, utility, demolition, landscaping and other applications where space is limited, but power is needed.

Both models are powered by the fuel-efficient Yanmar 4TNV98 diesel engine. This engine gives the R60CR-9 model 57 hp and 59.6 hp for the R80CR-9. The dig depth for the R60CR-9 reaches 10.5 ft. The R80CR-9 offers a dig depth of 12.5 ft, making it perfect for small pipe installation and repair work.
It is a breeze to demolish asphalt and concrete walkways and curbs with these mini excavators. The bucket-digging forces range from 9,190 lbf for the R60CR-9 to the R80CR-9’s 12,570 lbf. Both models give you steel or rubber tracks as an option.
Hyundai designed all compact-radius excavators with operator comfort and convenience in mind. Features and benefits like fully adjustable seats and armrests, large foot pedals, ergonomic joysticks, large-capacity air conditioners, improved ventilation, MP3 player/AM/FM radio and water- and dust-proofing seals all add to the overall comfort.
Hyundai’s North American headquarters in Norcross, GA, along with their Elk Grove location outside Chicago, gives the company two strategically located parts depots for quick fulfillments of dealer and customer orders. For more information, visit www.hceamericas.com or call 877-509-2254.
