OPINION OF EXPERTS
Nikolay Pleshkov, director, Denis Barabanov deputy director on construction, Open Company " Speztehstroy" (Bryansk)
The excavators of the brand Hyundai is maintained since 2007. The first machine from the excavators Hyundai was R-160. From the first days of the operation one of the main advantages was showed – the dimensions of the machine did not exceed the supposed for transportation of technics on the roads of general using without registration of the sanction and without support of GAI. A series of excavators Hyundai R-210-NLC soon was produced – the first machines among analogues in 200-th series of the excavators widespread in Russia, with overall dimensions and productivity corresponding the class, weight, volume of the ladle. It gives a number of advantages: the absence of necessity of sanctional registration for the transportation of equipment and, as consequence of it, reduction of the financial expenses connected with transportation, efficiency in moving of the equipment.
Thus, the basis of park in our organization was formed with machines R-210-NLC. In our opinion, it is universal machines which with working forces as in the constrained conditions of city building sites, and great volumes of excavations at construction of roads, hydraulic engineering constructions, etc. Except for the excavators Hyundai there are operating an experience of machines Hitachi, Kato, Komatsu. Among the competitors Hyundai had proved itself as reliable, maneuverable, productive machines for the decision of the broad audience of problems. Among the special features of excavators Hyundai it would be desirable to note the following: non-failure operation in conditions of the lowered temperatures (maintained at–25 OS) under the condition of use of winter PETROLEUM PRODUCTS, presence of the built in pump for fuelling from any capacities, comfortable operating conditions of the operator, the centralized switching-off of "mass" at switching-off of the excavator by key, a complete set with strengthened ladles without «side-cutters», powerful hydraulics, convenience of service of units and aggregates.
Besides it is necessary to note the smaller cost of dredges in comparison with models of the competitors of the same class. The service group operatively works, the delivery of spare parts and account materials is adjusted.
BY THE WAY
The truck cranes Hyundai are completely unknown in our country, and here in South Korea they can be met often enough. The Company Hyundai Heavy Industries doesn’t produce them, but its affiliated firm does. In a ruler of the manufacturer there're two models – carrying capacity 25 and 50 t.
