Hyundai Construction Equipment Americas has introduced its largest-capacity wheel loader, the HL985A.
The loader offers a standard bucket capacity of 9.1 cubic yards for use in high-production jobs such as quarrying, aggregates and other mass-volume material handling.
“We refer to the HL985A as a ‘true two-pass’ wheel loader because it can fill one of our HA30 articulated dump trucks with two bucket loads,” said Joe Turnage, senior product manager, Hyundai Construction Equipment Americas.
The new wheel loader was unveiled at ConExpo 2023.

“With the addition of the HL985A, the Hyundai wheel loader line includes models that fulfill the needs of every important wheel loader application,” Turnage said. “At the same time, like every A Series wheel loader model, the new Hyundai HL985A provides the combination of power, performance, fuel efficiency and operator safety and comfort that successful contractors expect from Hyundai.”
The HL985A is powered by a 430-horsepower Cummins X12 performance series engine and ZF 5 transmission to provide optimum power and torque. It comes standard with heavy-duty ZF axles with wet outboard brakes and with coolers.
