With an operating weight between 78,483 and 79,807 pounds, the HX355A LCR fits between the Hyundai HX350A and HX380A conventional-swing excavators, but the compact-radius design allows the excavator to perform jobs within confined areas typically reserved for smaller machines.
“When contractors and other equipment users need an excavator that delivers serious power with a relatively compact footprint, the Hyundai HX355A will serve them well,” said Joe Hodges, Product Manager, HD Hyundai CE North America. “In the case of this compact-radius model, the cab remains inside the tracks during front or rear operations and extends a minimal 4 inches outside the tracks during side operations.”
The HX355A LCR is typically equipped with a 1.75-cubic-yard bucket and features 18 inches of ground clearance. Hyundai also offers an 11-foot, 10-inch dozer blade as an option.
“With a dozer blade, operators can push and move materials more efficiently, which is especially beneficial for tasks like backfilling trenches, leveling terrain, or pushing debris,” Hodges said.

The HX355A LCR has four selectable power modes and one-touch power boost for better control over machine power and efficiency. The HX355A also comes with an integrated smart power control (SPC) system. SPC uses sensors and software to monitor the excavator’s workload in real time. Based on this data, it automatically adjusts engine power and hydraulic flow to match the required digging force. This ensures that the excavator operates efficiently without unnecessary fuel consumption or strain on the engine.
“SPC helps keep the excavator running longer because it keeps the machine operating within optimal power ranges, which reduces wear and tear associated with overloading or inefficient operation,” Hodges said. “This extends the life of critical components, including the engine, hydraulic system, and attachments.”
Standard features on the HX355A include five years of Hyundai’s Hi MATE telematics system; heated, air-suspension seat; an 8-inch, automotive-style interactive display monitor; and remote ignition.
“Making these types of features standard equipment helps keep operators safer, more comfortable, and more productive, which keeps owning and operating costs down,” Hodges said.
