Digging to a depth of 13 ft.-11 in. and delivering 101 net hp, the Hyundai HW100A is powerful enough for a variety of applications, yet is particularly suited for road and bridge work, roadside projects and other jobs where the ability to move on paved surfaces is critical.
HD Hyundai Construction Equipment North America is adding the 25,221-lb. HW100A to its lineup of wheeled excavators, which ranges from the R55W-9A at 12,240 lbs. to the 46,690-lb. HW210A.
Digging to a depth of 13 ft.-11 in. and delivering 101 net hp, the Hyundai HW100A is powerful enough for a variety of applications, yet is particularly suited for road and bridge work, roadside projects and other jobs where the ability to move on paved surfaces is critical. Its compact size, 360-degree swing capability and articulated boom allow it to work in congested and tight spaces where larger equipment can't, according to Hyundai.
This new compact excavator features a spacious cab with a full-length glass door for ease of entry and egress, as well as a heated, air-suspension seat and other comfort-related features. For safety, the HW100A comes standard with right and rearview cameras, LED light package and other features. Like other Hyundai wheeled excavators, the HW100A has the options of AAVM (all-around view monitoring) and rear radar for added job safety and peace of mind when working in congested spaces, according to Hyundai.
With a maximum speed of 24 mph, the HW100A offers three steering modes: four-wheel round, which provides the tightest turning radius, with the traction and control needed for operating on rough terrain; four-wheel crab, which provides the ability to maneuver diagonally; and two-wheel steering, which delivers better fuel economy while still providing agile handling.
"This means the Hyundai HW100A is versatile enough to tackle multiple jobs across a variety of applications," said Julio Vargas, product manager, HD Hyundai Construction Equipment North America.
Customizable Power, Performance Settings
"Operators and owners alike will appreciate the comfort, versatility and available options, while enjoying the power and performance on the HW100A," Vargas said. "They have four work modes to choose from. The one-way setting lets operators control boom and bucket operation independently for precision tasks like leveling and fine grading. The two-way setting synchronizes operation of the boom and bucket, which is more efficient for high-production tasks like truck loading and trenching. The digging setting provides optimum efficiency and power for heavy-duty excavation tasks, such as for foundation work. The lifting setting works best for applications that involve lifting, moving and placing heavy objects or materials for sanitation and utility work."
Operators also can select from three power modes — power, standard and economy — to match power and efficiency to the job at hand.
The Hyundai HW100A comes standard with a two-piece boom for enhanced reach and versatility, a front bucket rest and a rear dozer blade. It also is equipped with quick coupler piping and selectable control pattern (ISO/SAE) for operator preference, according to Hyundai.
Optional configurations include four outriggers or a front dozer blade with rear outriggers to suit various customer needs.
Additional standard features include an 8-in. touchscreen display, long-life brakes and five years of Hyundai's proprietary Hi MATE telematics for remote monitoring and support.
Vargas said that the HW100As will be available through Hyundai dealers in the second quarter of 2025.
"In the meantime, contractors attending World of Asphalt 2025, March 25–27 in St. Louis, can get a look at the larger HW210A wheeled excavator we will have on display there."
