Hitachi releases new large excavator at Bauma

Hitachi Construction Machinery (Europe) NV (HCME) will release the ZX670LCH-5 large excavator at Bauma. It is designed to operate on the toughest job sites, such as large-scale construction projects and in busy quarries. They considered the requirements of owners and operators of Hitachi construction machinery all over Europe, in order to manufacture a new model that could deliver high productivity, balanced with sustainability, as well as durability, comfort and safety, and easy maintenance.

 

The new ZX670LCH-5 incorporates the HIOS IIIB hydraulic system, which allows for faster operation with lower fuel consumption, and increased front speed. It has increased productivity by 9% in H/P mode (compared to the previous Zaxis model). Swing torque has also increased by 9% and the speed of light-load operations such as grading has also improved, due to a larger volume of hydraulic flow.

 

It is equipped with a powerful Stage IIIB-compliant engine that delivers higher productivity with greater fuel efficiency. A muffler filter helps reduce emissions by capturing air pollutants; and the auto shutdown and auto idler features enhance fuel consumption and reduce noise, exhaust emissions and CO2.

 

For added durability in demanding working conditions, the ZX670LCH-5 has a reinforced undercarriage, and a strengthened boom and arm. Dual fuel main filters and pre-filters are provided as standard to reduce system failures. The fuel injector is protected by diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating, which enhances its durability, and the engine has a twin-layer fuel main filter that doubles filtration performance.
