The HW100A

Digging to a depth of 13 feet 11 inches and delivering 101 net hp, the Hyundai HW100A can handle a variety of applications but is particularly suited for jobs where the ability to move on paved surfaces is critical. Its compact size, 360-degree swing capability and articulated boom allow it to work in congested and tight spaces.

This new Hyundai compact excavator features a cab with a full-length glass door for ease of entry and egress, as well as a heated, air-suspension seat and other comfort-related features. For safety, the HW100A also comes standard with right and rearview cameras, LED light package and other features Hyundai equipment is known for. Like other Hyundai wheeled excavators, the HW100A has the options of AAVM (all-around view monitoring) and rear radar.

With a maximum speed of 24 mph, the HW100A offers three steering modes: four-wheel round, which provides the tightest turning radius; four-wheel crab, which provides the ability to maneuver diagonally; and two-wheel steering, which delivers better fuel economy while still providing agile handling.

“This means the Hyundai HW100A is versatile enough to tackle multiple jobs across a variety of applications,” says Julio Vargas, product manager, HD Hyundai Construction Equipment North America. “Operators and owners alike will appreciate the comfort, versatility and available options, while enjoying the power and performance on the HW100A."

Those operators have four work modes to choose from.

  • The one-way setting lets operators control boom and bucket operation independently for precision tasks like leveling and fine grading.
  • The two-way setting synchronizes operation of the boom and bucket, which is more efficient for high-production tasks like truck loading and trenching.
  • The digging setting provides optimum efficiency and power for heavy-duty excavation tasks, such as for foundation work.
  • The lifting setting works best for applications that involve lifting, moving and placing heavy objects or materials for sanitation and utility work.

Operators can also select from three power modes – Power, Standard and Economy – to match power and efficiency to the job at hand.

The Hyundai HW100A comes standard with a two-piece boom, a front bucket rest and a rear dozer blade. It is also equipped with quick coupler piping and selectable control pattern (ISO/SAE) for operator preference.

Optional configurations include four outriggers or a front dozer blade with rear outriggers to suit various customer needs. 

Additional standard features include an 8-inch touchscreen display, long-life brakes, and five years of Hyundai’s proprietary Hi MATE telematics for remote monitoring and support.

The HW100As will be available through Hyundai dealers in the second quarter of 2025.
