With a frame size suited for a variety of landscaping, residential contracting, municipal and residential applications, the Hyundai HT30 compact track loader is available from the factory in any of three versions: cab with high-flow, cab with standard flow, and canopy with standard flow. The HT30 cab version has a rated operating capacity of 3,028 pounds and the HT30 canopy version has a rated operating capacity of 2,900 pounds. All versions can lift to a pin height of 8 feet 1 inch. Operating weight is 11,141 pounds for cab versions and 10,448 pounds for the canopy version.
“The medium-frame HT30 gives customers across a range of applications the power, lifting capacity and versatility they need without buying more machine than their jobs require,” says Jason Taylor, Hyundai’s product manager for compact equipment.
According to Taylor, the number of and value of standard features on the HT30 set it apart from other competing models. Among the standard productivity-enhancing features on the HT30 are ride control, creep control, hydraulic quick coupler, return-to-dig, lift-arm float and auto-self-leveling. “These features increase productivity for newer and experienced operators alike,” he says.
The spacious, one-piece, pressurized ROPS/FOPS cab versions also include as standard many features that contribute to operator comfort and productivity, including torsion suspension for a smooth ride, heat and A/C delivered through eight well-placed vents. The heated, air-ride seat is also standard, as well as Bluetooth and the 8-inch smart touch display. “The operator is the most expensive ‘feature’ on the machine, and a comfortable operator is a more productive operator,” Taylor says.
Also standard are the guarded exterior LED lights – two front and two rear. The cab versions include an escort light that stays on for 30 seconds after shutdown to help the operator safely exit the cab and the worksite.
Another important feature of this new compact track loader is ground access to all daily service and routine maintenance points. A PowerCore air filter and reversible fan help keep the engine free of dust and debris and running cooler for longer life, while a tilt-up cooling module enables easier cleaning of the cooling system for max airflow. “With these features, contractors can rest assured the HT30 will stay productive longer,” Taylor says. He noted that Hyundai’s industry-leading three-year, 3,000-hour warranty provides an extra measure of confidence.
The Hyundai HT30 accommodates dozens of attachments, including a wide selection of buckets, brooms, grapples, augers, brush cutters, snow blowers and pushers, rakes and forks.
