From feeding processing equipment such as shredders,\ncrushers or screeners, to moving material to stockpiles and loading outgoing\nvehicles \u2013 without a wheel loader, the entire operation would grind to a halt.\nDespite having a wide variety of mobile equipment including telehandlers,\nexcavators and tractors, this is till true for the team at A. R. Richards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The HL960 HDXT offers two key differences compared to a\nstandard Hyundai HL960 wheel loader. Firstly, this HD (Heady Duty) model\nfeatures a plethora of additional specification that further enhance its\ndurability in the most demanding site conditions. Secondly, the XT (Extended\nReach) which allows this particular model to easily load trailers, containers\nand waggons with ease and accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tough enough for the job<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n With a huge list of upgraded and additional parts, this\nshovel has been beefed up in all the right places to make it more than man\nenough for even the most demanding sites and applications. The factory in South\nKorea have fitted the HL960 HD with the axles from the larger HL970 model to\nensure it has the power and durability even on slippery concrete pads that are\nfrequently found on waste transfer and processing facilities throughout the UK.\nA host of smaller additions on this purpose-built powerhouse really makes a big\ndifference. These include additional guarding (windows, lights, rams and under\nthe engine bay), an air pre-filter and a bucket spill guard fitted to minimise\nspillage over the top edge of the bucket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All the additional specification on the HD model builds on an already\nimpressive standard specification that includes an accurate onboard weighing system\nthat is built into the seven-inch touch screen display cluster. This allows\noperators to monitor the total weight when loading, all through an intuitive\ndisplay. With other features including ride control, soft end stops and a\nhydraulic lock differential \u2013 the standard HL960 really doesn\u2019t skimp on the\nextras that will keep operators and owners happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reach for the sky<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n When the XT option is selected, the reach on this wheel\nloader is significantly increased from 4,105mm at the hinge pin\u2019s maximum\nheight, all the way to 4,535mm. This increase allows the HL960 HDXT to\ncomfortably load the vast majority of common bulk transport options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A. R. Richards have also chosen to take the optional Hyundai\nAAVM (All Around View Monitoring) factory option which utilises 4 cameras to\ngive the operator a 360-degree, seamless bird\u2019s-eye view around the machine via\nthe large cluster display. With object identification and safety zone alerts,\nthe AAVM system enables operators to work without blind spots \u2013 improving the\nsafety of any working environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A. R. Richards. Managing Director, Andrew Richards said;\n\u201cThis is now our second Hyundai loading shovel. We ran the last model for over\n4 years, and we couldn\u2019t fault it for reliability and productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe additional spec offered in the HL960 HDXT allowed us to\nwork safer and smarter, something we as a business are always striving to\nachieve. This and the after-sales support Molson have delivered meant that it\nwas an easy choice to go for another Hyundai\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Molson Sales Manager, Andy Wilkinson said; \u201cIt was a\npleasure to work with Andy and all his team. Their diverse business is highly\nrespected in the area and it aligns with the wide range of construction,\nrecycling and processing equipment now available at Molson. I look forward to\nworking with Andy and hope we can assist him as his business continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n
