Hyundai began building excavators in 1985 as a division of Hyundai Heavy Industries, the shipbuilding giant. In 2017 the business became a separate company, today called HD Hyundai Construction Equipment. It is sister company to Develon, with which it increasingly shares engines and components.
What Hyundai is known for
- Value-focused excavators such as the HX220A L, with high standard specification and long warranties in many markets.
- Wheel loaders like the HL960A.
- Compact excavators including the HX85A.
- Hi-MATE telematics fitted as standard.
Older Hyundai machines were sold as "Robex" (excavators) and with "R" model codes such as R220LC-9; the current HX and HL ranges replaced them.
