The Robex 520LC-9S hydraulic excavator offers three working modes to enhance productivity Cherry Ellis is dwarfed by the huge bucket fitted to the Robex 520LC-9S Durable track rail guards keep track links in place. Track adjustments are made easy with standard grease cylinder track adjusters and shock absorbing springs • Economy mode (E) – for maximum fuel savings and improved control this mode provides precise flow and engine power based on load demand. Being a bit rusty at the controls I stuck to the economy mode and still had no problem with the machine delivering great productivity, smooth swing of the boom and was able to dig through rocky ground. I can just imagine what ton per hour a skilled operator would be able to load and how fast a trench he would be able to dig. The 9S series excavators are designed to be fuel efficient. New Fact The 9S s eries excavators are designed with bushings for long life intervals (250 hours), and polymer shims (wear resistant, noise reducing), long life hydraulic filters (1 000 hours), long life hydraulic oil (5 000 hours), more efficient cooling systems and integrated preheating systems. All of this extend service intervals, minimise operating costs and reduce machine down time. innovations like the two-stage auto decal system and the new economy mode helps to conserve fuel and reduce the impact on the environment. Attachments The work mode allows the operator to select single flow attachments such as a hydraulic breaker or bi-directional flow attachments like a crusher. Flow settings, unique to each attachment, can be programmed from within the cluster – a great time saver for the operator. According to Hyundai some jobs require precise machine settings. By selecting the (U) User mode, the operator can customise engine speed, pump output, idle speed and other machine settings for the specific job at hand. Ground line access to filters, lube fittings, fuses, machine computer components and wide compartments makes service more convenient and easily accessible. Working the machine for a few hours I can say that this hydraulic excavator would add value, productivity, fuel savings and reliability to any site it operates. It receives the thumbs up from Hire SA.
