Hyundai to Unveil Its Second Skid Steer at Bauma

28 Feb 2025 CW Team

The HS80V, powered by a Hyundai diesel engine, delivers 66.4 horsepower and joins the existing 70-horsepower HS120V in the lineup. Hyundai also offers a 70-horsepower compact track loader, the HT100V. Weighing 3.2 metric tonne, the HS80V has a rated operating capacity of 1,951 pounds at 50% tipping load and reaches a top speed of 7.3 mph with its single-speed travel motors. Details on its availability in North America remain unconfirmed.

Designed for efficiency, the loader features a vertical-lift path that enables the boom to raise the bucket to full height without material spillage. An Auto Self-Leveling system ensures the bucket or forks remain level during lifting without operator adjustments. The machine also includes a standard flat-faced hydraulic quick coupler for attachment changes from the cab, with an optional 14-pin electrical connector.

Operator comfort and visibility are key aspects of the HS80V’s design. The spacious cab is equipped with heating and air conditioning, while a full-width front window provides a clear view of attachments. A rearview camera activates automatically when reversing, and working lights remain on for 30 seconds after shutdown to assist with safe exits in low-light conditions.

Control is managed through two multi-function joysticks, each with various switches for auxiliary hydraulics and other functions. The right-hand lever operates the boom and bucket, while the left-hand lever handles driving functions. Engine speed can be adjusted using either a rotary dial or a foot pedal, with Hyundai recommending the dial for powered attachments to maintain consistent speed.
