Hitachi's new ZW93 compact wheel loader, one of three new models
233 Hitachi Construction Machinery (Europe) has reinforced its range of ZW wheel loaders with the launch of three new compact models, the ZW65, ZW75 and ZW95.

Peter Stuijt, 1139 HCME Product Manager Construction and Utility Equipment, said: "The development of the ZW65, ZW75 and ZW95 is in response to the increasingly varied requirements of Hitachi customers. Compact wheel loaders are very popular in western Europe, above all in Germany and France, which reinforces the importance of these new models to HCME and its dealer network.

Equipped with powerful engines, the ZW65 (45.6kW, operating weight 5,140kg, ISO heaped bucket capacity 0.7m³) ZW75 (45.6kW, 5,340kg, 0.85m³) and ZW95 (53.1kW, 6,280kg, 1.05m³) are suitable for use on a variety of job sites and the large traction force provides excellent mobility. Their compact overall size and dimensions make them easy to transport, and enable operation in confined spaces.
