HD Construction Equipment Hyundai North America‘s HT30 compact track loader is now available in North America. The 71-gross-hp machine is suited for a variety of landscaping, residential contracting, municipal and residential applications. It’s available from the factory in any of three versions: cab with high-flow, cab with standard flow and canopy with standard flow.

The company said the HT30 cab version has a rated operating capacity of 3,028 lbs, and the HT30 canopy version has a rated operating capacity of 2,900 lbs. According to the press release, all versions can lift to a pin height of 8 ft, 1 in. The HT30 has an operating weight of 11,141 lbs for cab versions and 10,448 lbs 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,” said Jason Taylor, Hyundai’s product manager for compact equipment.

From the press release:

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 said.

The HT30 was designed and built with operator comfort and productivity in mind. For example, the spacious, one-piece, pressurized ROPS/FOPS cab versions also include standard features like torsion suspension for a smooth ride and heat and A/C delivered through eight well-placed vents. Operators will appreciate the heated, air-ride seat that’s also standard, as well as Bluetooth and the 8-in. smart touch display.

“The operator is the most expensive ‘feature’ on the machine, and a comfortable operator is a more productive operator,” Taylor said.

Visibility is also enhanced thanks to the CTL’s guarded exterior LED lights — two front and two rear — that come standard. The company said that 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.

Maintenance is made easier with the HT30. The machine offers ground access to all daily service and routine maintenance points. The HT30 boasts a PowerCore air filter and reversible fan that help keep the engine free of dust and debris and running cooler for longer life. 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 said. He added that Hyundai’s industry-leading three-year, 3,000-hour warranty provides an extra measure of confidence.

And don’t forget attachments. Dozens of attachments are available for the HT30, including a wide selection of buckets, brooms, grapples, augers, brush cutters, snow blowers and pushers, rakes and forks.
