At a lot of job sites, powerful machinery and construction equipment are crucial for getting work done. Having the right equipment can mean the difference between paying people to stand around and wait or missing a critical deadline, and having your work get done, on time, while keeping your workers busy. A wheeled excavator like the Hyundai HW180 is a powerful piece of equipment often used to clear out worksites when there is a lot of debris and demolition that needs to get done.

With so many different excavators and other pieces of equipment available for you to choose from, it is crucial to make sure you have the right tool to get the job done. Here at Quality Fleet Service, we pride ourselves on providing thorough and knowledgeable help for all of our customers, to ensure you get exactly the right equipment for what you need. With our massive test pit, we can show you the performance of different machinery in a real-world environment so you can see which one is right for you.

Choosing the Right Excavator

Even if you know that an excavator is the right tool, in general, for what you need to do, you still have quite a few options available to you. While the Hyundai HW180 is one of the best-wheeled excavators on the market, some other kinds might better meet your needs. It is important to make sure you know which type you require so you can get the right model. The most common types of excavators that you will find include:

  • Wheeled Excavators - These are models like the Hyundai HW180 that have a large cab with an arm that can fit a bucket attachment. Under the cab, you will find wheels - hence the name. This means they are ideal for use on roads and paved surfaces, but they are not suitable for uneven ground like you might encounter in forestry work.
  • Crawler Excavators - Designed much like wheeled excavators, crawler excavators have treads instead of wheels to provide greater stability. These are perfect for use on uneven ground, and they can handle tremendous loads. However, their treads can seriously damage pavement, so they cannot be used on public roads and may destroy parking lots.
  • Compact Excavators - These excavators are available in both wheeled and crawler designs and are smaller than the larger models. A compact excavator is perfect if you do a lot of work in tight spaces since they typically have a smaller tail swing radius than larger models. Consider a compact excavator for urban work where you need to fit between large buildings.

Narrowing down your options to choose the right excavator for your business can be tricky, but it is an important decision. Consider the size of the jobs you typically take on, as well as the type of bucket and the sort of working and digging conditions you need your excavator for. If you still have questions, then we are here to help. Call us at Quality Fleet Service: we will work closely with you to figure out which type of excavator is right and provide you with the equipment you need to grow your business.

The Hyundai HW180

Of the wheeled excavators available from Hyundai, the Hyundai HW180 is the middle of the pack in terms of size and overall power. That makes it a great choice if you look at the options available, and you have concerns that the HW140 might be too small, but you are fairly certain that the HW210 is more machine than you need. Since your professional equipment is a significant investment, you want to be sure to get precisely the right model that will get your job done.

The Hyundai HW180 is powered by an impressive Cummins water-cooled, turbocharged I-6 diesel engine that delivers up to 171 hp and 620 lb-ft of torque. This gives the HW180 plenty of power to handle a wide range of tasks, making it an ideal middle choice in the Hyundai wheeled excavator lineup. It has an operating weight of more than 39,000 lbs and can handle a bucket of up to 1.37 cubic yards in size, making it perfect for even large job sites. Since this is the medium model in Hyundai's wheeled excavators, it has a swing speed of 9.3 rpm and a tail swing radius of 8 feet.

With the Hyundai HW180, you get a maximum digging depth of just over 19 feet and a maximum digging reach of more than 30 feet. It has a bucket breakout force of more than 27,000 lb-ft and an arm crowd force of nearly 17,000 lb-ft. Finally, you get a top travel speed for the Hyundai HW180 of about 21 mph. While the HW140 is a faster model that can get around a worksite quicker, this is an excellent pick for handling more substantial jobs.

Although these specs can tell you a lot about the Hyundai HW180, they certainly do not convey the whole story. Here at Quality Fleet Service, we have a massive test pit that you can use to see how these machines perform in a real-world setting. It is important to us that you get the equipment that will work best for you, which is why we do everything we can to make the process of choosing your machinery as simple as possible.

Hyundai Warranty Coverage

In addition to the fantastic machinery they make, like the Hyundai HW180, Hyundai is also noteworthy for having one of the best warranties in the industry. With the HW180, you get:

  • 3-year or 3,000-hour full machine warranty
  • 5-year or 10,000-hour structural warranty

This gives you the protection and peace of mind you deserve so that you can use your equipment to tackle any job you need to. And if you want even more protection, then you can choose the Hyundai factory-extended warranty for up to 5 years or 10,000 hours of full machine warranty coverage. While many other manufacturers require that you select the extended warranty when you purchase their equipment, you can get this extended coverage from Hyundai at any time while your machinery is still covered by the standard warranty. And since we use factory parts whenever possible here at Quality Fleet Service, our work on your equipment includes Hyundai's 1-year or 1,500-hour parts warranty.
