The 52,470 lb (23,800 kg) R235CR-9 is the largest of the compact radius models. Powered by a Cummins QSB6.7 engine, the R235CR-9 boasts 151 hp (113 kW) and a bucket digging force of 3,2710 lbf (133.4 kN). 

With a maximum dig depth of 19 feet (5,780 mm) and a minimal tail swing radius of just 5.6 feet (1,680 mm) the R235CR-9 provides contractors a solution for excavating or demolition in confirmed areas.

Dozer blades are optional on the R145-9 and R235-9 models.

Both R145CR-9 and R235CR-9 come standard with Hyundai’s 7-inch wide color LCD screen Cluster with toggle switch. The Cluster lets the operator choose their personal machine preferences and work modes, self diagnostics, maintenance checklists and machine security. This makes these excavators more versatile – and the operators more productive. Hyundai offers a standard rear-view camera that can be viewed from the Cluster display.

In addition to the Cluster, both models come standard with Hi-mate, Hyundai’s proprietary remote management system. This gives both operators and dealers vital information on the machine from any computer with internet access. Users can pinpoint machine locations using digital mapping, and they can set machine work boundaries, reducing the need for multiple service calls. Hi-mate saves time and money for the owner by promoting preventative maintenance and reducing machine downtime.

Hyundai 9-Series excavators offer bushings designed for extended lube intervals of 250 hours – and polymer shims to resist wear and reduce noise. You also get extended-life hydraulic filters (1,000 hours), long-life hydraulic oil (5,000 hours), along with more efficient cooling and pre-heating systems. These help extend service intervals to reduce operating costs and machine down time.

Hyundai designed all compact-radius excavators with operator comfort and convenience in mind. Features and benefits like fully adjustable seats and armrests, large foot pedals, ergonomic joysticks, large-capacity air conditioners, improved ventilation, MP3 player/AM/FM radio and water- and dust-proofing seals all add to the overall comfort.

Hyundai Construction Equipment Americas Inc. offers quality earthmoving and material-handling equipment, including hydraulic excavators, wheel loaders, skid steer loaders and electric and diesel forklifts. The company also manufactures internal-combustion cushion and pneumatic forklifts.

Hyundai’s North American headquarters in Norcross, GA, along with their Elk Grove location outside Chicago, gives the company two strategically located parts depots for quick fulfillments of dealer and customer orders.
