Designed to tackle India's diverse and space-constrained work environments, this mini excavator is built with advanced features that elevate productivity while minimising operating costs.

Here's a closer look at what makes the HX30Az a class apart:

• Hydraulic System Built for Speed and Control: The first-generation hydraulic system ensures faster response, smoother control, and greater efficiency for high-performance tasks.
• Zero Tail Swing for Tight Workspaces: Its compact, zero tail swing design allows safe and stable operation in narrow and confined spaces.
• Lower Downtime with Extended Maintenance Interval: Extended service intervals mean less frequent maintenance and more uptime, translating to lower ownership costs.
• Safety Features That Put Operators First: With a ROPS/FOPS canopy, anti-theft system, and cylinder guards, the HX30Az offers a safer working environment in demanding conditions.

The HX30Az is built to empower contractors, landscapers, and farmers alike with Hyundai’s signature performance and dependability.
