Hyundai Launches its Second Dozer, the HD130
Hyundai Construction Equipment has expanded its dozer line with the new 157-horsepower, 15-metric-tonne HD130. Two configurations of the model are available: a 33,730-pound LGP model with a low ground pressure of 4.98 psi or a 31,907-pound XL version with a ground pressure of 6.16 psi. Both configurations have an 8-foot, 11-inch track.
The HD130 joins the 122-horsepower, 10-metric-tonne HD100, which was released in July. Hyundai’s dozer lineup mirrors that of sister company Develon, with Develon marketing its models under the DD100 and DD130 nomenclature. The companies operate separately as subsidiaries under the Hyundai Genuine holding company.
The new Hyundai HD130 dozer gives our customers the choice of a heavier-duty model that delivers higher productivity for larger jobs,” said Dale McLemore, director of sales, HD Hyundai Construction Equipment North America.
The HD130 dozer is powered by a 4-cylinder Perkins 1204J engine that meets Tier 4 Final emissions standards. A hydrostatic transmission provides “smooth control of speed and torque while enhancing ease of operation,” Hyundai says. Its maximum travel speed is 5.6 miles per hour.
For optimal visibility to the blade, the dozer is designed with the in-line precleaner inside the hood, the radiator and hydraulic oil cooler in the rear and a downward sloping narrow front. The cab also has full-length doors and glass all around.
