Hyundai Wheel Loaders and Excavators
To speed up routine maintenance and improve wear life of excavator and wheel loader components, Hyundai Construction has moved almost all fluid change ports and filters to ground level and created “lube banks” for remote greasing from just one or two spots. The company also offers an auto-lube option that takes over the task entirely for up to six months.
The idlers and rollers for the excavator undercarriages are sealed and lubricated. Hyundai is using a mix of synthetic oils to extend the maintenance intervals to 500 hours on our engines and our Hyundai Long Life hydraulic oil has 5000 hours of life.

[text_ad] In regard to machine diagnostic data, all failure codes and operating data are instantaneously communicated to the monitor/cluster and periodically sent to a proprietary telematics system, Hi-Mate. Using Hi-Mate allows the owner and dealer to log into the system anywhere in the world and view the machine location, running hours, fuel consumption, working time, and maintenance information. The machine can notify the dealer and owner by email or even a text that it is coming up on an oil change, there is water in the fuel, low oil pressure, and dozens of other things. Hyundai has made another major improvement by adding a load scale standard on all wheel loaders. The operator (and owner via Hi-Mate) has the ability to accurately capture the weight of material moved in each load as well as daily total. Another aspect to improving machine performance is the upgraded cooling system. In order to keep wheel loader and excavator machines running at optimal operating temperatures, Hyundai uses reversible fans that pull air from the rear of the machine to reduce clogging from dust, leaves, and debris. The machine fan defaults to reverse at specific times, but can be switched on manually or easily be programmed in custom intervals depending on application. The Volvo EC350E Excavator Volvo designers and engineers have developed innovative methods to make maintenance easy. With large, wide opening compartment doors and grouped service points on the excavator, checks can be carried out faster to get the most out of every operating shift.

The Volvo EC350E Excavator
Volvo designers and engineers have developed innovative methods to make maintenance easy. With large, wide opening compartment doors and grouped service points on the excavator, checks can be carried out faster to get the most out of every operating shift.
The new Volvo EC350E excavator includes several enhancements tailored to serviceability needs, including a color LCD monitor that displays machine status information, including service interval alerts and fuel consumption data. An option that is available for the excavator is a cleaner kit—an air blow gun from the machine’s compressed air system. This blow gun option is located inside the cab and makes cab cleaning quick and easy.

[caption id="attachment_5974" align="alignleft" width="300"]The Volvo radiator, charged air cooler and hydraulic oil cooler are positioned side by side in a single layer to maximize efficiency, reduce blockages, and aid in cleaning. They system is easily accessed from ground level by simply opening the side door.
Grouped filters are quick and easy to access from ground level. To facilitate fast servicing, grouped greasing points are easily accessed with the machine in one position.
The Volvo L250H Wheel Loader
The new Volvo L250H wheel loader includes several enhancements tailored to serviceability needs, including:
Engine service points are centralized on the right side of the engine, providing for increased uptime through fast and easy servicing. There is good access to service points with the possibility of a fully open engine hood and a tiltable cab. The new tiltable cab on the L250H has the ability to be tilted to a 35 or 70 degree position for generous access to the parts beneath the cab. The cab is tilted by the help of a mechanically operated hydraulic pump. The single-piece engine hood of the L250H wheel loader is electrically motorized for opening and provides for quick and easier service. The engine compartment also has additional ventilation which helps attain optimum engine compartment temperature.
The instrument panel in the cab informs the operator with all operational data.
The panel includes display of DEF/AdBlue levels and quality warnings, which are necessary for the Tier 4 Final engine. The instrument panel alerts include engine, transmission, hydraulics, axles/brakes, electrical system, machine information, vehicle messages, service alerts, and setup and cycle information.

[caption id="attachment_5974" align="alignleft" width="300"]The rear axle is supported on maintenance-free cradles/trunnions and includes greased-for-life bearings and bushings. Cradle oscillation joints are sealed to keep grease in and dirt out. This helps to reduce overall service costs with long component life for increased machine uptime.
The Volvo-developed axles have an oil circulation feature which allows axle oil to flow inside the axle. With reduced axle oil temperature, component life if extended, increasing machine reliability and availability.
