Trade exhibitions are often the launch pad for new excavators, and with all the models unveiled at last April's Bauma in Munich, Germany, visitors to this year's ConExpo could have been forgiven for thinking there wouldn't be many new machines to see. But the show still had some surprises up its sleeve. Hyundai unveiled the first of its new Dash-9 series excavators, which will replace the current Dash-7 models from the end of this year, in the shape of the 21 tonne class Robex 210LC-9. Operator comfort is a big feature of the new range. A brand new cab design features reduced noise levels, air-conditioning as standard, joystick controls with lever-pattern change options, and a new control panel with on-board monitoring system and a built-in rear-view camera. According to the company, "The complete range has been conceived as a truly 'global' concept, to meet the increasingly stringent international legislative requirements, in terms of energy efficiency, safety and the environment."
