Hydraulic Front Shovel for Smaller Mines
Hyundai Heavy Industries has re-entered
the mining and quarrying sector by producing
the R800-7A FS, a front shovel
crawler excavator weighing 86.5 mt—a
size class that has become increasingly
popular. The new shovel is based on the
R800LC-7A backhoe with Hyundai-developed
front attachments configured for
heavy-duty work requiring high breakout
forces. Hyundai says the new shovel also
creates less noise and lower emission levels
than competing machines, with a Tier
III Cummins QSX15 engine delivering 497
hp. Performance and comfort levels can be
set to the operator’s preference in the 7A
series cabin, which is mounted on a riser
so the operator’s view can be improved.
