The R35Z-9AK compact excavator from Hyundai Construction Equipment Americas is a 3 1/2-ton-class machine with a zero-tail swing design for maneuverability in confined spaces. It includes thumb brackets, large dozer blades, hydraulic quick couplers for attachments and hydraulics-ready auxiliary piping to support a range of attachments. The machine’s hydraulic system improvements result in a more responsive, productive machine, according to the manufacturer. Its boom swing capability allows the operator to offset the boom 75 degrees to the left and 50 degrees to the right, facilitating close work alongside foundations and other structures, especially in congested areas. It is powered by a 23.7 hp Yanmar engine. The maximum digging depth is 10 feet 3 inches, with a bucket breakout force of 6,900 ft-lbs. 877-509-2254; www.hceamericas.com.
