ZX360 Hitachi excavator specs & Dimensions (2021 - 2026)

Sustainable efficiency

We are dedicated to the sustainable development of the Hitachi product range, particularly for use on urban job sites. Therefore, the new ZAXIS 350 is a sign of our commitment to minimizing the impact of construction machinery on the environment in compliance with EU emission control Stage IIIB. The ZAXIS 350 has been fitted with a muffler filter to capture air pollutants, which is automatically burnt thanks to an oxidation catalyst and exhaust temperature control. The variable geometry turbocharger and high volume-cooled EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) also help to reduce nitrous oxide levels. As well as reducing emissions, the ZAXIS 350’s Auto Shut-down helps to prevent fuel wastage and lowers the level of noise in the cab. In addition, all resin parts on the new ZAXIS medium excavator range are suitable for recycling and clearly marked for ease of use in this process.

Hitachi Environmental Vision 2025

The Hitachi Group (the Group) released the Environmental Vision 2025 to reduce their annual carbon dioxide emissions. While the Group is committed to global production, the focus is to reduce the environmental impact of all products, and fulfill a sustainable society by tackling three goals — prevention of global warming, recycling of resources, and enhancing the ecosystem.

Reducing Environmental Impact by the New ZAXIS

Hitachi reduces carbon emissions for global warming prevention according to LCA. The new ZAXIS exemplify the Group’s commitment to the environment through features, such as the new standard mode which optimises fuel efficiency. Hitachi has long been committed to the recycling of components, such as aluminium parts in radiators and oil coolers. Resin parts are marked for recycling.

Higher level of performance

A smooth, fast and precise machine is every operator's dream and that’s exactly what the ZAXIS 350 offers. Our latest innovations have been developed specifically for the new generation of Hitachi medium excavators. The hydraulic boosting system and other hydraulic systems enable the arm roll-in speed to increase when the load is relatively low. Our tried-and-tested power-boost feature has also increased by 10% to deliver an enhanced level of excavating performance and lifting power. The versatility of the ZAXIS 350 may be evidenced by the attachment support system, with 11 modes that can be registered on the monitor for the easy fitment of different attachments. These two auxiliary spools are useful for attachments that require multiple, large volumes of oil flow. Larger digging force allows efficient extraction of hard or compacted material.

Reinforced Undercarriage

The front idler and adjuster cylinder have been reinforced on the ZAXIS 350 for added durability. In addition, mud no longer sticks to the adjuster cylinder. Reliability has been further addressed with an increase in the welded section parts that comprise the X-beam. The travel motor brackets' upper and lower plates have been extended, which has delivered a 40% reduction in stress.

Expanded leg room

The seat and console can slide further back on the new ZAXIS, providing a more comfortable working environment for the operator. The right side console has been ergonomically re-designed.

Comfort

We believe that comfort and safety is the key to productivity. We consulted with our customers from all over the world to ensure that the ZAXIS 350 medium excavator exceeds the expectations of those who matter the most – the operators. The new model offers an all-round comfortable working environment, enhanced visibility and a wide range of user-friendly features to set it apart from the competition.

From the comfort of the cab

After a long shift on a road construction site or in the quarry, you need to feel ready to enjoy the rest of your day. Hitachi has taken the lead in operator comfort with the new ZAXIS 350, so that you can do just that. The adjustable air-suspension seat features a new sliding mechanism with the capacity to be moved back further than ever before. The space underneath the monitor has also been expanded to allow for more leg room. The pressurized cab keeps dust and particles from entering.

All-round visibility

Busy construction sites demand your full attention to avoid unnecessary damage or health and safety issues. The enhanced visibility – especially down the right-hand side of the new ZAXIS – will also save you time (and money), thanks to the latest innovations from Hitachi. The repositioning of the monitor and door enhances your view, as well as making access to and from the cab much easier. The latest rear-view camera offers a closer view of the counterweight to reduce the blind spot.

Enjoy your work

Time flies when you’re having fun, but we also realise that a happy operator is also a more productive one. That’s why we have renewed our focus on providing a relaxed and enjoyable working environment within the cab. The controls for the AM/FM stereo radio are now adjustable from the colour monitor. An auxiliary terminal has also been added to the sound system, so that you can work efficiently and smoothly to your favourite music via devices such as MP3 players and the inclusion of storage for an MP3 player.

ROPS-compliant cab

The pressurised and ROPS-compliant CRES V (Center pillar reinforced structure) cab prevents the penetration of dust and protects you from the potential risks of the job site. The Roll-over Protective Structure (ROPS) is designed to protect the operator in the unlikely event of the machine tipping or rolling over.
