HD Hyundai Infracore Launches Korea's First 130t Special Excavator... "Work Up to 15 Floors"

Up to 46m Above-Ground Work... Perfect for High-Rise Building Demolition

HD Hyundai Infracore announced on the 8th that it has launched the first 130-ton class demolition excavator in Korea and recently delivered the first unit to an apartment demolition site.

The 130-ton class demolition excavator has a working range 10 meters wider than existing models. It can operate up to 46 meters above ground, equivalent to the height of a 15-story building. It is equipped with five front options including the boom and arm, which serve as the excavator's arm, allowing for quick and convenient attachment and detachment depending on the working height and purpose.

During high-rise demolition, the operator's cabin can tilt upward up to 40 degrees, ensuring a safe field of view. Additional heavy counterweights have been installed to enhance operational stability. Convenience features have also been improved by applying monitor cameras, safety alarm devices, water spray systems to reduce dust, and an automatic crawler (belt-type wheel) width expansion function.

Before the advent of high-rise demolition excavators, small and medium-sized excavators were placed on building rooftops to demolish from the top down. With the introduction of excavators equipped with demolition long booms and long arms in Korea, safe demolition techniques can now be applied to high-rise demolition sites. The equipment is also trending toward larger sizes.

HD Hyundai Infracore launched a 64-ton class demolition excavator in Korea in 2019. As construction safety became increasingly important, it released 46-ton and 120-ton class equipment. This time, it introduced the 130-ton class equipment. HD Hyundai Infracore stated, "The demand for high value-added special equipment is growing," and added, "Since entering the demolition special equipment market in 2019, HD Hyundai Infracore has diversified its product lineup by introducing 46-ton, 120-ton, and 130-ton class equipment."
