Hyundai Construction Equipment expanded its wheel-loader line with Model HL780-3A and its high-lift counterpart, the HL780XTD-3A, which are powered by the Cummins QSM11-Tier II engine with electronic fuel injection. Maximum bucket capacity is 6.7 cubic yards (heaped) for both machines, but the high-lift model provides an added 13 inches of clearance under the bucket pin. The exclusive Ergopower automatic transmission control system (made by ZF Industries) provides smoother gear shifting under load with no traction interruption. Both loaders sport a redesigned cab and control center, fully featured for optimal comfort. Operating weight for both machines is 65,000 pounds. Estimated list price: $314,990.
