HD Hyundai Construction Equipment North America is expanding its lineup of wheeled excavators with the introduction of the 11,440-kg HW100A.
The new machine joins the Hyundai lineup that ranges from the R55W-9A at 5,552 kg to the 21,178 kg HW210A.
Digging to a depth of 4.24 metres and delivering 101 hp, the Hyundai HW100A is powerful enough for a variety of applications, yet suited for road and bridge work, roadside projects and other jobs where the ability to move on paved surfaces is critical. Its compact size, 360-degree swing capability and articulated boom allow it to work in congested and tight spaces where larger equipment is unable to reach.
The HW100A features a spacious cab with a full-length glass door for ease of entry and egress, as well as a heated, air-suspension seat and other comfort-related features. For safety, the HW100A also comes standard with right and rearview cameras and a LED light package. Like other Hyundai wheeled excavators, the HW100A has the options of AAVM (all-around view monitoring) and rear radar for added job safety and peace of mind when working in congested spaces.
With a maximum speed of 39 km per hour, the HW100A offers three steering modes:
- Four-wheel round for the tightest turning radius, with the traction and control needed for operating on rough terrain
- Four-wheel crab, which provides the ability to manoeuvrer diagonally
- Two-wheel steering, which delivers better fuel economy while still providing agile handling
“This means the Hyundai HW100A is versatile enough to tackle multiple jobs across a variety of applications,” said Julio Vargas, Product Manager, HD Hyundai Construction Equipment North America.
Customizable power
Operators have the option of four work modes. The one-way setting lets operators control boom and bucket operation independently for precision tasks like levelling and fine grading. The two-way setting synchronizes operation of the boom and bucket, which is more efficient for high-production tasks like truck loading and trenching.
The digging setting provides optimum efficiency and power for heavy-duty excavation tasks, such as for foundation work. The lifting setting works best for applications that involve lifting, moving and placing heavy objects or materials for sanitation and utility work.

“Operators and owners alike will appreciate the comfort, versatility and available options, while enjoying the power and performance on the HW100A,” Vargas said.
Operators can also select from three power modes — power, standard and economy — to match power and efficiency to the job at hand.
The Hyundai HW100A comes standard with a two-piece boom for enhanced reach and versatility, a front bucket rest and a rear dozer blade.
It is also equipped with quick coupler piping and selectable control pattern (ISO/SAE) for operator preference.
Optional configurations include four outriggers or a front dozer blade with rear outriggers to suit various customer needs.
Additional standard features include an 20-cm touchscreen display, long-life brakes, and five years of Hyundai’s proprietary Hi MATE telematics for remote monitoring and support.
Vargas noted that the HW100As will be available through Hyundai dealers in the second quarter of 2025.
