Modern excavator models have little in common with their original versions, and each subsequent one is already superior to the previous one. Being essentially analogues of the e170w excavator, their parameters are already more serious. The Hyundai R180W-9S wheeled excavator is a bright and reliable representative of the ninth series of Hyundai excavators. It is equipped with a powerful six-cylinder diesel engine. Engine power has increased by 15% compared to previous versions. In addition, the 9 Series models feature increased safety in the operator's cab with improved sound insulation. The cabin of the Hyundai R180W-9S loader is large enough for the operator to feel comfortable, but at the same time all the necessary sensors and levers are at hand.
If you carefully study the technical characteristics of the Hyundai R180W-9S, you can note a number of fairly standard functions - heated seats, a convenient monitoring system, a sunroof and sun visors, a high-contrast display. And the E170W option is equipped with air conditioning only at the request of the buyer.
One of the distinctive features that owners of this model greatly appreciate is its amazing efficiency. Of course, very few equipment can work for 3 days without refilling, without reducing power or degrading performance.
Hitachi or Hyundai?
Undoubtedly, the Hitachi ZX170W-3 wheeled excavator can be compared with the Hyundai R170W-9, they are approximately similar. In some moments, one can even highlight the advantage of this model. The Hitachi also has a diesel engine which helps it operate with significant fuel economy. A four-valve HIOS II engine was developed specifically for this model.
The operator's cabin in the Hitachi ZX170W-3 is also equipped with maximum convenience for the driver. An easy chair, sliding windows near the cabin, a convenient control panel with a large LCD screen. The E170W cab is one of the initial versions of the cab with increased comfort. Hitachi excavator models are famous for their technologies - rear view camera, theft prevention system, work equipment security system, excavator operation monitoring, emergency engine shutdown, security system.
The Hitachi ZX190W-3 wheeled excavator is, in turn, an even more advanced version of this model series. Externally, the differences are almost invisible, only in size, but the internal power is slightly greater. However, all other characteristics are similar to the previous version. By the way, this ZAXIS-3 model series is famous for its silent operation.
These excavator models are modern examples of efficiency, durability and high productivity at a relatively reasonable cost of the machine and its spare parts. They are ideal for various excavation work.
Another point that unites the E170W and the ZAXIS series is environmental friendliness. All materials used in production, as well as all components, are made with an emphasis on reducing the negative impact on the environment. If you need a workhorse that will be useful both in construction and in everyday life, then such excavators are an excellent option for both frequent and industrial use.

"Character traits"
Compared to its larger counterparts, the Hyundai R180NLC-9S crawler excavator is simple and easy to operate. Maneuverability and ease of use are ensured by the “modest” dimensions of the vehicle: a station wagon weighing 18.3 tons has a length of 8.65 m, a width (on 500mm shoes) of 2.5 m, and a height of 2.99 m.
The “Caterpillar” handles soils and rocks with extreme care. The maximum bucket capacity of this model is only 0.89 m3, the maximum digging depth is 6060 mm. But this does not prevent the excavator from gracefully, with filigree precision, from carrying out almost any operation on the object entrusted to it. In addition, it is worth taking into account the impressive turning radius of the platform counterweight for models of this class - 2.53 m.
The R180NLC-9S crawler excavators are powered by a 116 hp 6-cylinder Mitsubishi S6S-DT engine. With. (at 2100 rpm). Fuel consumption is 10 l/hour, the maximum speed reaches 5.5 km/h.
Like the 20-ton models of the Hyundai brand, the R180NLC-9S is suitable for earthmoving work in regions with any climatic conditions. Excavators of this series are equipped as standard with everything necessary to begin operation anywhere in Russia.
For customers operating in the northern regions, the manufacturer is ready to provide a set of additional add-ons. Adapting 18-tonners to cold climates includes several insulation solutions to maintain work ethic, so to speak.
Hyundai R180W-9S - an excavator with character
What makes a particular excavator popular? Obviously, powerful technical characteristics, reliability, comfortable operation, ease of maintenance and - where without this - competitive cost. And years later - stable service, accumulated experience and a lot of positive feedback.
All these features are inherent in the flagship model of the South Korean manufacturer Hyundai - the R180W-9S hydraulic wheeled excavator. The most powerful car in its class appeared on the Russian market a long time ago, and it “stayed” on our lands for a long time. And there is every reason to believe that the demand for large-capacity giants will continue for many years to come.
The excavator’s versatility of use and special “many-faced” character help it maintain its position. With equal success, representatives of the R180W-9S line demonstrate their best qualities when digging trenches, ditches, forming embankments on almost all types of soil, as well as loading/unloading materials.
They are able to perform the task in any weather conditions: the temperatures at which the machine can be operated vary from -40 to +50 °C. Therefore, representatives of the series are hired by quarry owners and construction organizations operating anywhere in Russia - even in harsh northern conditions.
Compared to other Hyundai excavators, the model stands out for its enormous service life and low operating costs. The machine weighs 18.4 tons and is equipped with a bucket with a capacity of 0.89 m3. Sitting behind the wheel of the R180W-9S, the excavator operator can accelerate to 30 km/h while maintaining machine stability. The digging depth reaches 5820 mm, the maximum digging force on the bucket is 123.6 kN, on the handle - 80.3 kN. The turntable moves at a speed of 11 revolutions per minute.
In the manufacture of the R180W-9S, Hyundai uses components and assemblies of its own production or turns to the products of such well-known partner companies as Mitsubishi, TOSHIBA, ZF and KAWASAKI. For example, the excavator is driven by a four-stroke Mitsubishi S6S-DT engine with a power of 118 hp. With. This unit is manufactured with a water cooling system and the possibility of direct fuel injection, so it compares favorably with its counterparts in its efficiency and low emissions.
The excavator is controlled using a joystick. The basic configuration includes manual manipulators, which greatly facilitate the process and increase accuracy. Key controls also include an instrument panel, a manual dial engine speed control, an ignition key, brake pedals and fuel controls.
The average fuel consumption of the R180W-9S excavator is 160 g per liter. With. at one o'clock. The fuel tank of the car is designed for a maximum of 270 liters of fuel.
The described technical characteristics allow the operator of the R180W-9S excavator to use its capabilities almost 100%. But what if we said: the potential of technology is much broader?
Let us explain: Hyundai developers equip their models with a unique system that makes it possible to control engine power. The functionality of the solution includes:
- 3 load modes and 2 power modes;
- automatic heating mode of the unit;
- automatic speed reduction when the load level drops;
- self-diagnosis system;
- overheat protection system;
- “power boost” function to temporarily increase power by 10%.
Dimensions of Hyundai R180W-9S:
- length - 8730 mm;
- width - 2500 mm;
- height - 3190 mm;
- handle length - 2600 mm;
- boom length - 5100 mm.
The designers of the South Korean brand also took care of comfortable conditions for the driver while operating the hydraulic excavator. The machine has a spacious, ergonomic cab that provides wide visibility to the operator. The windows are made of safer safety glass, and the noise level inside the cabin during operation is only 71 dB. The driver has the right to customize the interior decoration in accordance with his personal wishes.
For example, console panels can be easily brought closer or removed at your discretion, the chair and levers are also adjustable. In addition, the operator's cab is pre-installed with a large windshield wiper blade, a toolbox with a set of tools that may be needed during the shift, and even an ashtray.
Like the entire line of Hyundai special equipment, the R180W-9S excavator is available to Russian consumers. Deliveries in our country are carried out by an exclusive dealer of South Korean.

Maintenance at "5"
Hyundai took care not only of the reliability and high performance of the car, but also of convenient service. The design of the elements of the 18-ton excavator, which require constant service, was initially developed for maintenance personnel. All components and points of the R180NLC-9S are “freely accessible”: under the engine hood there is a dipstick for checking the oil, next to it there is a hydraulic tank breather, designed to relieve pressure after the end of the work shift.
Under the lower stage of the excavator's rotating platform, the developers placed a pump for pumping fuel and a hydraulic distributor necessary to control the flow of working fluid. The manufacturer also placed the battery pack here.
Grease nipples are located in the most accessible place for the driver: in close proximity to the slewing bearing. The lubrication points on the excavator boom and arm are conveniently routed to the bucket and boom support.
On the left side of the Hyundai R180NLC-9S, or rather directly on the door, there is an expansion tank for the engine cooling system and a sediment filter, which signals the driver about water ingress. This signal is hard to miss: if liquid gets inside the sediment filter, the red ring on it instantly lights up.
Basically, each model released by the manufacturer is equipped with a Hi-mate remote control and diagnostic system. The software and hardware complex collects data that is critical for the service and maintenance of equipment.
Taken together, the solutions provided by the manufacturer allow you to perform machine maintenance in accordance with all the rules and without unnecessary hassle.
Hyundai R180NLC-9S excavator: technical specifications
Hyundai R180NLC-9S is a fairly small crawler excavator compared to other company models. It is 8.65 m long, 2.5 m wide and 2.99 m high (at the boots). The structure is crowned with a bucket with a volume of 0.89 m3.
The maximum speed that the excavator can develop is 5.5 km/h. The total weight of the model is 18.3 tons including the bucket. Such a mass can be called relatively small, but at the same time, in the movements of the excavator there is not a hint of sharpness, usually inherent in other “lightweight” machines.
One of the undoubted advantages of the Hyundai R180NLC-9S is the fact that it is truly convenient and simple to operate. Smoothly, but without hesitation, responding to the movements of its two joysticks, this machine is a real gift for its operator: even a specialist who has previously used other models or has very little work experience will quickly get used to it.
This will also be facilitated by the design of joysticks, the distribution of functions on which corresponds to the European standard: the right one is responsible for the boom and the bucket, and the left one is responsible for the handle and turning the platform.
For any construction equipment that daily performs a whole range of rather complex maneuvers and manipulations, in addition to ease of operation, ease of maintenance is also extremely important.
One of the ways to achieve this goal for Hyundai developers was to install the Hi-mate remote control and diagnostic system on board the excavator. It allows excavator operators and maintenance personnel to have full access to up-to-date service and diagnostic data in a timely and hassle-free manner.
For this, any computer with Internet access is sufficient. The Hi-mate system makes preventative maintenance simpler and easier and reduces equipment downtime, which means it significantly saves its owners time and money.
Also, the company’s designers have done everything to ensure that not only in the digital world, but also in the physical world, it is safe and easy to carry out any repair, preventative and daily manipulations.
Absolutely all points necessary for daily maintenance are covered with special hatches and are accessible either from the platform or directly from the ground. So, next to the hood of the excavator there is a breather for the hydraulic tank (it must be opened to relieve pressure at the end of each shift), and under the hood you can find the oil dipstick. By the way, the top hood cover can be folded to the side, which is very convenient for accessing the engine.
In a rotary gearbox, you can check the oil level on the platform at the boom support; the sensor here is additionally duplicated with a measuring tube. The boom and arm lubrication points are located at the boom support and bucket, and the oil nipples on the slewing ring are easily accessible.
On the left side of the excavator, immediately behind the door, there is a reservoir for the engine cooling system and next to it there is a sediment filter, the fullness of which can be determined visually by the pop-up red ring.
The designers placed the battery pack under the platform, or more precisely, under its lower stage; the fuel transfer pump and hydraulic distributor are located in the same compartment. Certain modifications were made to prevent injury. Thus, the excavator fan was protected with a grille, and a protective heat shield was installed on the turbocharger.
