ZX225USRLC-6 Hitachi excavator specs & Dimensions (2016 - 2021)

Zx225usrlc-6. no compromise

The innovative ZX225USRLC-6 benefits from unique Hitachi technology, specially developed for Zaxis-6 medium excavators. It delivers a high level of performance, particularly in confined spaces due to its short-tail swing. The spacious cab ensures that no compromises have been made on operator comfort. Over several decades, Hitachi has built a strong reputation based on high-quality engineering, reliability and durability, and the ZX225USRLC-6 shares these qualities. Available with a variety of options, it is suitable for a wide range of industry solutions, thanks to its incredibly versatile features.

Demand Perfection

During the design phase of the Hitachi ZX225USRLC-6, engineers at the world’s biggest excavator factory addressed the specific needs of the European construction industry. This short-tail swing model has been developed to perfection using market-leading technology to deliver exceptional productivity, particularly in confined spaces, at the lowest possible cost of ownership.

Durability to Depend On

The Zaxis-6 medium excavator range has been built using decades of manufacturing experience. Each model is designed and engineered to operate in the most challenging environments, and lives up to the Hitachi reputation for producing highly reliable and durable machines.

Exceptional versatility

The ZX225USRLC-6 is one of the most versatile Hitachi medium excavators, thanks to its short-tail swing and a variety of optional extras. It is suitable for urban job sites, including road construction and demolition, as well as forestry, particularly if space is limited. Smooth, fast and precise, it delivers high levels of productivity and fuel efficiency.

Power boost

The tried-and-tested power-boost feature has 10% more capacity than the Zaxis-3 model. This increases the capacity of the ZX225USRLC-6 to deliver an enhanced level of performance and lifting power.

Compact and powerful

The short-tail swing of the ZX225USRLC-6 enables it to fit into confined spaces, which makes it suitable for a wider variety of job sites than the standard 21-tonne model. Its compact dimensions are combined with a powerful lifting force and good stability.

Outstanding Quality

Owners of Zaxis-6 medium excavators are reminded of the quality of their machine whenever they climb in the cab and turn the key. Materials of the highest quality have been used throughout the ZX225USRLC-6, and its performance, reliability and safety are testament to the relentless pursuit of quality at Hitachi’s Tsuchiura Works factory.

Strength in Technology

Unique Hitachi technology is incorporated within the Zaxis-6 medium excavator range to meet the ever-changing needs of customers in the construction industry. The ZX225USRLC-6 has been designed with several features that help to maximise its efficiency, enhance the operator’s experience and improve its overall performance.

Building a Better Future

Established in 1910, Hitachi, Ltd. was built upon a founding philosophy of making a positive contribution to society through technology. This is still the inspiration behind the Hitachi group’s reliable solutions that answer today’s challenges and help to create a better world. Hitachi, Ltd. is now one of the world’s largest corporations, with a vast range of innovative products and services. These have been created to challenge convention, improve social infrastructure and contribute to a sustainable society.

User-friendly Fuel Filter

The main fuel filter screws into place on the ZX225USRLC-6. This makes it easier to replace and ensures that dust is prevented from entering the fuel circuit during routine maintenance procedures.

More Efficient Cooling

The expansion tank is mounted on top of the engine’s cooling system. This revised position means that the air can be completely removed and prevents the engine parts from overheating.

Long-lasting Components

The cooling system of the ZX225USRLC-6 incorporates aluminium components, including radiator, air condenser and fuel cooler. This improves resistance against corrosion and enhances the machine’s durability.

Durable Design

The lower roller of the ZX225USRLC-6 has been redesigned to prevent mud from entering and causing damage to the oil seal. This enhances the long-term durability of the machine.

Enhanced Fuel Circuit

A high performance water separator and cold fuel resistance valve are integrated into the pre-filter for added protection against moisture. In addition, a large capacity electric fuel pump supplies an appropriate amount of fuel to the engine for improved performance.

Engine Protection

The combustion chamber is made from stronger materials and the revised shape of the piston is designed to achieve cleaner emissions. These features will further enhance the reliability of the engine.

Strong Undercarriage

A large and strong X-frame reinforces the undercarriage of the ZX225USRLC-6. This helps to reduce the likelihood of damage and enhances the machine’s reliability.

Machine Performance

The ZX225USRLC-6 is equipped with two extra spools in the control valve. This increases versatility by making it easier to install attachments that require multiple, large volumes of oil and on two-piece boom models.

Superior Cooling Performance

The upper structure benefits from high-quality sealant (around the cooling package) and acoustic materials to eliminate any deterioration caused by heat. These ensure the long-term cooling and low-noise acoustic performance of the ZX225USRLC-6.

Saving Fuel and Costs

Hydraulic loss is decreased by TRIAS II technology. It reduces the hydraulic oil returned to the tank due to the cooperative control of the pump and valve. This helps to lower fuel consumption by 8% in ECO mode with the same productivity.

Durable Hydraulic Connection

A rubber hose fitted with a flange has been incorporated into the design of the hydraulic return pipes. These enhance the reliability of the system and reduce the risk of oil leaks.

Oil Leak Prevention

The O-rings on the control valve and swing motor are made from fluorine. This highly durable material withstands high oil temperatures and reinforces the parts’ reliability to prevent oil leaks.

Advanced Audio System

The AM/FM radio is accessible from the monitor and an auxiliary socket – for devices such as MP3 players – is linked to the sound system. This choice of entertainment helps to provide an enjoyable – and productive – working environment.

Greater flexibility

The rotary tilt and tilt modes are included within the attachment support system on the ZX225USRLC-6. These and nine other modes can be registered on the monitor for the easy fitment of attachments to increase versatility.

Better visibility

There are fewer bars on the optional front guard and those remaining are reduced in size – yet retain their rigidity. This helps to minimise any blind spots and improves the operator’s visibility.
