Hyundai HX145A LCR High Walker Excavator in Scottish Highlands

ongoing

One of Scotland’s leading civil engineering contractors has bought the world’s first Hyundai HX145A LCR HW (High Walker) model. Crieff-based MAM Contracting has taken delivery of the unique machine. The High Walker variant of the new HX145A LCR A-Series excavator is kitted out with full forestry specification and boasts significantly higher ground clearance than the standard model. For even greater stability and lower ground bearing pressure, MAM has had the undercarriage lengthened by 1040mm which results in an additional 11 trackpads on each side. Supplied by Hyundai dealer HRN Tractors, the new machine is primarily intended for forestry work and peat restoration projects – where it will be deployed with extra wide 1200mm tracks. The versatile machine will also be put to work on highways jobs where its reduced tailswing allows safe operation within a single lane.
