More Fuel Reduction in the ECO mode

The ECO mode, a new economical mode, can further cut fuel consumption by 9% compared to the PWR mode, without sacrificing digging speed by optimal matching of operations.

Swift Front Movements with HIOS* III Hydraulics

Operating speed increases with less fuel consumption thanks to the HIOS III hydraulic system, developed by industry-leading hydraulic technologies and a wealth of experience.

Durable, Reliable Engine

This engine has a track record showing impressive durability at countless tough job sites around the world. The engine – associated with a rugged design, a direct fuel injection system and an elaborate governor – goes green, and complies with EU Stage II and US EPA Tier 2 emissions regulations. The cooling system well keeps the engine cool. The engine cover has a wider air suction area, and radiators are arranged in parallel for efficient cooling. This parallel arrangement also facilitates their cleaning. The ample-capacity intercooler and turbocharger help yield a whopping 184 kW (246 HP) output for higher production in shorter job schedules.

Ground Engaging Tools (GETs)

Hitachi provides an array of Hitachi Ground Engaging Tools developed and built for a variety of applications. Using high-quality, well-maintained GETs will help you get customers' trust.

Varied Jobs, Varied Options

Lower cab front guard is provided for protection against debris during demolition and breaker operation. High-performance filters and in-line filters are available at tough job sites.

Rapid Arm Roll-in

Arm roll-in speed increases by combined flow from arm and boom cylinders through regenerative valves for productive excavation.

Fast Arm Speed During Boom Lowering

Arm speed increases by boom weight during boom lowering, without needing pressure oil from a pump. That is, arm circuit flow is increased for higher arm speed, allowing for quick loading of a dump truck and positioning of the front.

Strengthened Undercarriage

The X-beam frame is made monolithically with fewer welds for higher rigidity and durability. Full track guards protect track links and lower rollers from damage and deformation. Moreover, they also keep out stones, preventing the overload to the undercarriage to reduce wear and damage.

Proven Upperstructure

The upperstructure frame is reinforced with the proven D-section skirt to increase rigidity against damage by obstacles. A large door catch is added to reduce shocks and jolts of the cab and upperstructure.

Attractive, Robust Body

Side frame tops of the undercarriage are sloped to let muck slide away. Track adjuster greasing ports are repositioned for easier lubrication, and well protected from muck packing.

Dust-Proof Indoor Net

A dust-proof indoor net, provided at the front of radiator, can be easily removed and cleaned with compressed air. At the rear of the radiator, air blowing can be done through a one-touch open cover. The air condenser is openable for easy cleaning at its rear.

Comfortable Operating Environment

You'll feel comfortable and confident, with plenty of leg space and excellent visibility when operating the cab. The new compact console gives more leg space. The new door pillar is shifted rearward by 70 mm to widen an entry space for easy access. A new LED room light, interlocked with the door, turns on when the door opens. The front window is easily removed and stored overhead using slide rails. The overhead window is openable for ventilation. Ample air conditioner vents are located strategically for uniform air circulation inside the cab. The control panel and control levers are arranged within easy reach of the operator. AM/FM radio and AUX port (optional) for a mobile music player are available for a long work day with less fatigue. All these designs focus on operator comfort.

Powerful Lifting Operation

The Auto Power Lift mode, which automatically surge lifting force by 10% when needed, allows for powerful lifting of buried concrete pipes or sheathing sheets.

Enhanced Power Boost

The Power Boost mode allows the operator to surge 10% more digging force for powerful excavation by pressing its button on the control lever.

Robust Cab

The robust cab, meeting the OPG (Top Guard Level 1), protects the operator from falling objects. The pilot control shut-off lever is provided with a neutral engine start system that permits engine starting only when the pilot control shut-off lever is in Lock position.
