Hitachi Construction Machinery Americas has developed a dedicated super long front excavator for the North American market.
The ZX210LC-7H Super Long Front (SLF) excavator provides 15.35 metres of reach at ground level and an 11.94-metre dig depth with fewer trade-offs due to its dedicated design.
As well, Hitachi engineered a proprietary hydraulic circuit for smooth and safe operation. It includes an upgraded swing motor for improved reach and control as well as Hitachi genuine bucket attachments that pair with the new ZAXIS-7 Super Long Front excavators.
“As Hitachi Construction Machinery Americas continues to grow into the North American market, so does the expansion of our excavator product offerings,” said Patrick Baker, Excavator Product Manager for Hitachi Construction Machinery Americas.
“The ZX210LC-7H SLF, with added reach, productivity and performance, will allow customers to grow their businesses into new applications with another tool in their toolboxes.”
A part of the ZAXIS-7 series, the 24,900-kg SLF excavator meets the needs of customers in North America who dredge riverbeds, dig canals or perform projects that require extended reach.
More news from Hitachi
The ZX210LC-7H SLF is the first of multiple long-reach excavators Hitachi will introduce to the market. The ZAXIS-7 SLF series offers unique features and functionalities that help customers reach further.
The ZAXIS-7 SLF is equipped with a redesigned operator station featuring a larger, more comfortable space with less vibration and noise.
The heavier counterweight, proprietary hydraulic circuit and enhanced swing motor provide confidence while operating the super long arm. An updated hydraulic control valve provides an immediate response, even when operating at or near maximum extension. Operators can select from two work modes — Economy and Power — to tailor operations for jobsite conditions.
Aerial angle camera
An aerial angle camera gives operators a 270-degree bird’s-eye view where they can choose from multiple image options to see the machine’s immediate environment on an 20-cm antiglare LCD monitor. The monitor also controls the Bluetooth radio, which allows operators to listen to music and make hands-free calls while in the pressurized, quiet cab featured on all ZAXIS-7 excavators.
ZAXIS-7 excavators also include ConSite Oil. Two sensors detect if oil quality has deteriorated and transmit data to Global e-Service. This helps drive uptime by catching oil degradation before damage to critical systems can occur, which reduces maintenance and unscheduled downtime.
