Used Hyundai R220LC-9S Excavator In Ecuador

Hyundai R220LC-9S — Ecuador's Proven Performer 🇪🇨 🔥 Not the Newest Machine on the Block. But the One That Never Quits. You've seen the new excavators — shiny paint, touchscreens, emissions systems that cost more than your first car. The R220LC-9S is different. It's the machine that's been running Ecuadorian job sites for over a decade, earning its reputation one shift at a time. Its Cummins 6BTAA-5.9 engine — 143 horsepower of mechanical, bulletproof power — doesn't need fancy electronics to prove itself. It proves itself every morning when it fires on the first crank, and every evening when it's still running while others are waiting for parts. 💪 Why the R220LC-9S Is Ecuador's Smartest Used Buy Engine: Cummins 6BTAA-5.9 turbo, 5.9L displacement, 107 kW / 1,950 rpm. The same engine that's powered Ecuador's construction boom for 15+ years — simple mechanical fuel pump, no high-pressure common rail, no DPF, no SCR. Tolerates variable diesel quality in remote mining zones, fires reliably at altitude in Quito and the Andes, and parts are available in every hardware store from Guayaquil to Loja. Your mechanic has rebuilt three of these already — he doesn't need a manual. Hydraulics: Dual-pump system, 35 MPa working pressure. A 0.92 m³ bucket is optimized for the 22-ton class — not too big to overload the machine, not too small to waste cycles. The hydraulic system is tuned for smooth, repeatable control, which means less shock loading on pins and bushings, longer component life, and lower maintenance costs over the machine's lifetime. Undercarriage: Reinforced X-frame carbody, sealed & lubricated track links, heavy-duty rollers. 22,515 kg of working weight — heavier than the HX220HD, which means more stability on steep slopes and harder digging in compacted laterite. The 9S generation introduced an upgraded chassis over the older 9-series, with improved weight distribution and reduced vibration. Reach: 6,730mm max digging depth, 9,980mm max reach radius. Foundation trenches in Quito? Road cuts in the Andes? Drainage work on the coast? The 9S handles it all with the same dependable consistency that's made it Ecuador's go-to used 22-tonner. 📋 The Numbers That Keep You Profitable Weight: 22,515 kg — slightly heavier than the HX220HD, more stability on slopes Bucket: 0.92 m³ standard — optimized for the 22-ton class, fast loading cycles Engine: Cummins 6BTAA-5.9, 107 kW / 1,950 rpm — Tier 2, no aftertreatment, zero headaches Fuel Tank: 340L — full shift without mid-day refueling Gradeability: 35° — climbs Ecuador's mountainous terrain without struggle Travel Speed: 5.5 km/h — repositions quickly between work zones 🚢 Getting It to Ecuador Full CCIC pre-shipment inspection included CIF Guayaquil / Manta / Esmeraldas — overland delivery to Quito, Cuenca, or mine sites arranged 14 days from deposit to vessel departure 💲 The Price One flat number.
