Hitachi is unveiling new excavators for special applications

Hitachi is offering a range of excavators that are specially modified for use in certain applications. 

The ZX250LC-7 super long front (SLF), is assembled at the HCME factory in Amsterdam and suits duties such as dredging, loading and slope-finishing. The boom and arm design combines strength and versatility, allowing an extended working range of 18m.

The ZX350-7 with clamshell telescopic arm (CTA) is supplied by Hitachi in Japan. Available with 30m reach, it can be used for removing material from below ground and features modified hydraulics, boosting productivity on complex excavation projects. The clamshell telescopic arm offers high-speed extension and retraction, combined with a powerful pulling force, allowing it to work in confined spaces. Unlike standard or long-reach excavators, it requires minimal swing room, suiting it for use in compact areas.
