Hitachi EX270 overview

Engine

Hitachi's Total Control for Maximizing Performance

Hitachi's "Electronic Total control System" featuring E-P Control, OHS, FPS and Monitoring/alarm system achieves maximum job efficiency and reduces fuel consumption and noise.


Mode Selection

Hitachi's E-P Control (computer-aided Engine-Pump Control) system gives 3-mode selection. A microcomputer automatically controls engine and hydraulic output for maximum productivity and fuel savings.


Hydraulic and electronic system

Ohs

The advanced OHS (Optimum Hydraulic System) provides a high degree of independence. This enables quick and smooth operations.


Undercarriage

Simultaneous swing and straight-line travel

are made easy by the OHS which overcomes the natural machine tendency to curve during combined operations. This makes pipe positioning and laying faster and safer.


Simultaneous straight-line travel and boom/arm/bucket operations

are simple. The OHS overcomes curving during steep slope climbing, getting out of marshes and machine transport loading/unloading.


Cab

Advanced Cab

The new cab is totally human engineered to meet ISO standards. All-pressed, fully-independent rubber mounted construction achieves a quiet 70 db (A) (E-mode) noise level. The large bronze reinforced glass area assures good all-round visibility. Windows open wide to provide plenty of refreshing ventilation.
