Hyundai R210 SMART PLUS Construction Excavator
Excavation work in construction, mining and infrastructure projects is demanding. It requires powerful machinery that can handle heavy loads, work efficiently for long hours, and perform reliably in harsh environments. The Hyundai R210 SMART PLUS excavator is engineered to meet these demands. It combines strength, efficiency, and advanced features to make tough jobs easier and more cost-effective, ensuring higher productivity and lower operating costs.

Challenges in Heavy-Duty Excavation
Excavation projects come with several challenges that can affect productivity and increase costs:
- High digging demands – Excavation work often requires strong digging power and speed to move heavy materials efficiently
- Fuel consumption – Heavy machinery tends to consume a lot of fuel, increasing operational costs
- Operator fatigue – Long working hours in rough terrains can lead to operator fatigue, reducing efficiency
- Machine durability – Harsh working environments can wear down machines quickly, leading to frequent breakdowns and repairs
- Safety risks – Operating heavy machinery on uneven surfaces increases the chances of accidents and equipment damage
The Hyundai R210 SMART PLUS excavator is designed to handle these challenges with ease, offering a powerful and reliable solution for tough jobs.
Power and Performance to Handle Tough Jobs
High-Performance Engine – Powered by a Cummins 6BT5.9C engine, the R210 SMART PLUS delivers 140 HP at 2000 rpm. This ensures enough power for demanding excavation tasks like digging, lifting, and material handling.
Deep Digging and Wide Reach
- Maximum Digging Depth: 6,050 mm
- Maximum Digging Reach: 9,480 mm
High Digging Force
- Bucket digging force of 15,600 kgf (kilogram-force) handles tough materials with ease
- Arm crowd force of 12,500 kgf (kilogram-force) ensures smooth and efficient operation
Fast Operation
- Swing Speed: 11 rpm ensures quick turning and better cycle time
- Travel Speed: 5.3/ 3.4 kmph (High/ Low) allows for efficient relocation between work areas
Electro-Hydraulic Flow Control – The variable displacement axial piston pump with electro-hydraulic control adjusts the hydraulic flow according to the load, improving operational smoothness and speed
Open Center Design – The main control valve’s open center design ensures faster response between the joystick and hydraulic components, enhancing overall machine speed and control
Arm Regeneration Technology – Recirculates hydraulic energy from the return line to the pump supply line, making arm operation smoother and faster while preventing cavitation
Efficiency That Lowers Operating Costs
One-Touch Deceleration – A deceleration switch on the left joystick reduces engine speed when not in use, saving fuel
Auto-Idle – Automatically lowers engine speed if the machine is idle for more than four seconds, reducing fuel consumption and operating costs
Swing Priority
- During combined operations, the system increases hydraulic oil flow to the swing circuit
- Ensures faster swing cycles and higher productivity
Fuel Saving Kit
- Equipped with load sensors that monitor working conditions
- Adjusts the main control valve accordingly to reduce fuel consumption without compromising performance
Digital Cluster with Work Mode Selection
- Operators can choose between three Power Modes, two Work Modes, and two User Modes
- Optimizes fuel efficiency and performance based on the task at hand
Comfortable and Easy to Operate
Spacious Cabin – The air-conditioned cabin provides a comfortable working environment, even during long shifts
Adjustable Seat
- The seat has multiple adjustable settings, including height adjustment
- Ensures maximum comfort for the operator
Soft Joystick Control – Joysticks are designed to be easy to handle, providing smooth and precise control with minimal effort
Color Display
- The digital cluster shows important machine stats like oil temperature, coolant temperature, and other vital signs
- Helps operators monitor machine health easily
Built to Last in Harsh Environments
Strong Boom and Arm
- Made from high-tensile steel
- Reinforced with steel bearings and internal baffle plates to resist impact and wear
Forged Ring Body – The lower frame features a new forged ring design that increases structural integrity and extends the machine’s lifespan
Heavy-Duty Undercarriage
- Built with side member reinforcement to protect the idler from damage
- Heavy-duty track shoes provide better traction and stability on uneven terrains
Reinforced Bucket Linkage – The one-piece cast design increases strength and improves the machine’s ability to handle heavy digging loads without deformation
Advanced Safety for Operator Protection
Automatic Engine Overheat Prevention
- Monitors coolant temperature
- Reduces engine speed if overheating is detected to prevent engine damage
Counterbalance and Holding Valve
- Counterbalance valve prevents machine rollback on steep slopes using hydrostatic braking
- Holding valve locks attachments in place, preventing them from moving due to gravity
Anti-Restart System – Prevents the starter from engaging while the engine is running, avoiding accidental damage
Added Tank Cowl – The fuel tank is protected by a tank cowl, reducing the risk of damage during rough excavation work
Versatile for a Range of Applications
- Construction Sites – Ideal for excavation, material handling, and lifting
- Land Development – Effective for soil removal, grading, and site preparation
- Municipal Projects – Suitable for road construction, pipeline laying, and infrastructure projects
- Mining and Quarrying – Strong digging and lifting capacity make it perfect for handling rocks and minerals
