Hyundai unveiled three new models in its HX-A series of compact hydraulic excavators: the Hyundai HX35AZ, HX40A and HX48AZ excavators. Hyundai refers to its new HX compact excavators as ‘The New Standard’ because of their productivity-driving features, such as automatic blade float, hydraulic quick coupler, built-in lifting hook, and guards for boom, arm, and bucket hydraulics come standard on these new machines.
