HPE Africa’s newly launched H940s
backhoe loader series, which
replaces the H930s, has been well
received by the local market.
“Customers are impressed with this
machine’s unequalled value in terms of
fuel efficiency, low operating costs and
powerful loader performance, even in
tough operating conditions,” states Alex
Ackron, managing director, HPE Africa, part
of the Capital Equipment Group (CEG) of
Invicta Holdings Limited. “We have also
had positive feedback about Hyundai’s new
features for improved operator comfort and
simplified maintenance, as well as technical
advancements for precision control.”
“The robust H940s backhoe loader
series is perfectly designed to meet
growing demand from businesses that need
compact machines for smaller projects,
without having to make a substantial
capital investment in large excavators
and loaders.
“Central to this machine’s exceptional
backhoe performance, is an integrally
welded high strength loader boom that
allows for clear visibility when the operator
is digging around buried constructions like
water mains, sewer pipes and utility lines.
Optional features include pilot controls
for improved precision when excavating
and an extendable dipper enhances this
machine’s versatility.
“What’s also notable about the H940s, is
after extensive onsite testing and analysis
over 750 hours, fuel consumption was
recorded at an average 5,5 litres per hour.
Another benefit is these machines are
supported by HPE Africa with a two year/
3 000 hour warranty.”
Critical features for optimum
performance include a rigid loader frame
for greater lifting capacity and an optional
return-to-dig function that reduces loading
cycle times. Front and rear axles ensure
dependable operation in challenging, rough
terrain conditions and a differential lock
system improves traction. A four wheel
drive system is standard.
The ‘ride control system’ – also
optional – improves productivity, safety
and operator comfort. A shock absorbing
accumulator minimises loader arm bounce,
reduces material spillage and improves
travel with a full bucket. Standard power
shift transmission provides fast, easy and
efficient operation.
Hyundai’s load sensing hydraulic
system distributes optimum power to
New backhoe loader series launched
hydraulic components based on the
load demand required. Sufficient flow is
provided, whether the machine is operating
in a trenching application, for fine control
digging, or when suitable speed is needed
for high productivity applications. An
adjustable flow control system (AFCS) is
particularly useful when travelling on roads.
Taking a look under the hood of
the H940s is a fuel efficient, low noise,
environmentally friendly turbo charged
Perkins 2 tier diesel engine. For easy
serviceability and reduced maintenance
time, the tilt-up hood provides convenient
access to the engine compartment, with
ground access to critical services and
grease points.
