ensure high durability and greater digging forces. An important feature for optimum safety on site includes an automatic engine overheat prevention system that monitors the coolant temperature and automatically lowers engine speed if it overheats, preventing premature failure of the excavator. A counterbalance valve applies hydrostatic braking, to stop the machine from rolling down steep slopes, while a holding valve keeps attachments locked in position. A specially designed cover protects the fuel tank during excavation operations. Another critical safety feature is the anti restart system. HPE Africa specialists recommend the use of Hyundai genuine parts and lubricants to ensure the highest levels of performance, reliability and safety from every machine. The company’s range includes Hyundai wheel loaders, tracked and wheeled excavators, backhoe loaders, skid steer loaders and motor graders. HPE Africa and quick couplers, which are complementary attachments to Hyundai construction equipment. All machines are supported by skilled technical service and after sales teams throughout Southern Africa. l also supplies and supports Soosan hydraulic breakers
