Hitachi ZX120 overview

Engine

Machine Information Center

The Machine Information Center captures and stores vital machine performance data such as engine speeds, hydraulic temperatures, pump pressures, alarms and faults, hours of operation, and more. The data is downloadable through an i-Mode Palm™ Pilot and is transferred to your PC. Special PC software interprets the data and generates valuable machine performance reports and graphs highlighting machine utilization, performance history, and more to help users improve productivity and profit.


Higher Productivity

Zaxis uses the latest technologies to achieve lower total operational costs while boosting productivity. The large Isuzu intercooled-equipped engine provides an excellent balance of power and fuel efficiency.


Lower Operating Costs

Reduced fuel consumption, a strengthened main frame, front attachment, and undercarriage, longer lubrication intervals, 4,000-hour hydraulic oil and 1,000-hour hydraulic oil filters all work together to extend the durability of Zaxis while reducing running and repair costs.


Auto Acceleration and Auto Idle

Engine speed is automatically controlled in response to the amount of lever operation. This helps reduce fuel consumption, especially during light-load work. The auto-idle control reduces the engine speed automatically to save energy when the lever is in neutral.


Hydraulic and electronic system

Operator Command

The newly refined hydraulic system gives the operator unprecedented control. The bucket regenerative system makes light-duty operation quicker.


Upper Structure

Multi-function Operations

The Zaxis 120 continues the Hitachi tradition of smooth, multi-functioning excavators. Executing combined operations such as simultaneous swinging and traveling are easy with Zaxis.


Increased Travel and Swing Power

Armed with plenty of dependable power for travel and swing operations, the Zaxis 120 is ready for the toughest of terrains and job sites thanks to improved travel motor, engine, and swing gear. It has 9% more swing torque and 4% more travel power than the EX120.


Cab

Cab Comfort

The easy-to-read monitor panel and switches are located near the operator to minimize fatigue and enhance operator control. Noise levels inside the cab have been reduced. The auto-control air conditioner allows you to set a specific temperature, then forget it. Bi-level air ducts are positioned throughout the cab to promote even air flow.


Work Modes

Two modes simplify excavating operations. Select the 'Digging' mode for smooth and speedy front operations or 'Attachment' to use a wide variety of tools such as breakers, compactors, and crushers.


Cab Safety

The CRES (Center pillar Reinforced Structure) rigid cab is designed with safety in mind. The closed-section pillar and reinforcing members at central areas withstand vertical and horizontal external forces. This can help reduce the potential of operator injury in the event of an accident.
