Hitachi rolling out new excavator range

Hitachi says that its new ZX250LC-6, ZX300LC-6 and ZX350LC-6 excavators all offer increased performance. At the same time, the machines also meet the latest Tier 4 Final/Stage IV exhaust emissions requirements for off highway equipment. Productivity has been increased by up to 14% while fuel consumption has been reduced. These machines are aimed at the classes for 25, 30 and 35tonne excavators respectively.

Hitachi upgrading excavators
233 Hitachi says that its new ZX250LC-6, ZX300LC-6 and ZX350LC-6 excavators all offer increased performance. At the same time, the machines also meet the latest Tier 4 Final/Stage IV exhaust emissions requirements for off highway equipment. Productivity has been increased by up to 14% while fuel consumption has been reduced. These machines are aimed at the classes for 25, 30 and 35tonne excavators respectively. The firm claims that the machines offer the highest outputs in their respective classes as well as advanced hydraulics for faster cycling and more precise control.

Cabs have been improved with more comfortable seating and better all-round view, as well as lower noise levels at the operator’s ear. Safety features are upgraded also.
