ZX240N-6 Hitachi excavator specs & Dimensions (2016 - 2021)

Driven by Durability

Designed and engineered to operate in the most challenging environments, the ZX240N-6 is a highly durable machine. The Zaxis-6 medium excavator range has been developed by Hitachi using several decades’ experience of manufacturing mechanical and hydraulic excavators, and will continue to lead the field in terms of durability and reliability.

Outstanding Versatility

Hitachi Zaxis-6 medium excavators are a popular choice for a wide range of construction applications. Suitable for working with a variety of attachments, the ZX240N-6 is powerful, smooth and precise. Its versatility is enhanced by a narrow undercarriage that makes it easy to transport on smaller roads.

Unique Technology

Hitachi takes a highly technological approach towards the development of its construction machinery. As a result, the Zaxis-6 medium excavator range is designed with innovative features and exceptional capabilities to meet the ever-changing needs of its customers.

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.

Easy maintenance

The engine cover can be conveniently opened up fully from the platform. This provides easy access to the engine compartment and other components for routine maintenance.

User-friendly fuel filter

The main fuel filter screws into place on the ZX240N-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.

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 an 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.

Power boost

The tried-and-tested power-boost feature has 10% more capacity than the ZX240N-3. This increases the capability of the ZX240N-6 to deliver an enhanced level of excavating performance and lifting power.

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 ZX240N-6.

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.

Durable design

The lower roller of the ZX240N-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.

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.

Machine performance

The ZX240N-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.

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.

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.
