Hitachi Construction Machinery Americas has unveiled a dedicated super long front excavator for the North American market. The ZX210LC-7H Super Long Front (SLF) excavator provides 50 feet 4 inches (15.35 metres) of reach at ground level and a 39-foot 2-inch (11.94-metre) dig depth with fewer trade-offs due to its dedicated design. A proprietary hydraulic circuit has been engineered for smooth and safe operation. It includes an upgraded swing motor for reach and control. Hitachi bucket attachments can be paired with the new ZAXIS-7 SLF excavators.
"As Hitachi Construction Machinery Americas continues to grow into the North American market, so does the expansion of our excavator product offerings. 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," says Patrick Baker, excavator product manager at Hitachi Construction Machinery Americas.
A part of the ZAXIS-7 series, the 54,900-pound (24,900-kilogram) ZX210LC-7H SLF is a dedicated long-reach excavator. This excavator meets the needs of contractors in North America who dredge riverbeds, dig canals, or perform projects that require extended reach.
The ZX210LC-7H SLF is the first of multiple long-reach excavators to be introduced to the market.
The ZAXIS-7 SLF provides a difference workers can feel 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. Two work modes (economy and power) allow operators to tailor operations for job site conditions.
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 eight-inch (20.32-centimetre) 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, quieter 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.
