ZX670LCH-5B Hitachi excavator specs & Dimensions (2013 - 2018)

Productivity

We understand our customers’ needs for construction machinery that can deliver high productivity, but with lower fuel consumption. We are also aware of the implications of the latest EU regulations on emissions standards: large excavators with a smaller environmental impact are increasingly in demand. With the design of the new ZAXIS 670, our aim was to balance a powerful performance with sustainable efficiency, to produce a machine that would continue to exceed expectations in busy quarries and other job sites.

Sustainable efficiency

The sustainable development of the Hitachi product range to minimise its impact on the environment continues to be one of our main priorities. To comply with EU emission control stage IIIB, we have ensured that our large excavators have been equipped with several environmentally friendly features. A muffler filter has been installed on the ZAXIS 670 to capture air pollutants, which are automatically burnt thanks to an oxidation catalyst and exhaust temperature control. Nitrous oxide levels are also reduced by the variable geometry turbocharger and high volume-cooled EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation). To reduce emissions, prevent fuel wastage and lower noise levels in the cab, the ZAXIS 670 has an Auto Shut-down feature. This automatically drops the engine revolutions to low idle and then stops the engine after the pilot shut-off lever has been raised. In addition, the new ZAXIS large excavator has many recyclable parts, which also help to reduce its impact on the environment.

Powerful efficiency

The new ZAXIS 670 is equipped with a powerful new-generation Stage IIIB-compliant engine, which delivers higher productivity with greater fuel efficiency. Using the EN590 fuel, compliant with the European standard, plus the genuine fuel filter and engine oil, Super Wide DH2 or equivalent, will ensure optimum engine efficiency. The new engine has a common rail-type fuel injection system, which delivers the precise quantity of pressurised fuel to achieve effective combustion, and reduces fuel consumption and particulate matter. The HIOS IIIB hydraulic system has also been applied to the new ZAXIS 670 to reach higher yields with better fuel consumption than the previous model.

Easy servicing

The new ZAXIS 670 is equipped with a solenoid fuel pump, which means there is no need to pump manually if the engine stops due to lack of fuel or while the main fuel filter is being changed. The machine’s utility space stores an electric grease pump, hose reel and tool box. This means that batteries and an electrical equipment box are conveniently located in one place.

Tracks

Track shoes with double grousers made of induction-hardened rolled alloy. Heat-treated connecting pins with dirt seals. Hydraulic (grease) track adjusters with shock-absorbing recoil springs.

Travel Device

Each track is driven by an axial piston motor through a reduction gear for counterrotation of the tracks. The parking brake is a spring-set/hydraulic-released disc type. The automatic transmission system features High-Low.

From the comfort of the cab

It’s essential for you to feel comfortable while you work, especially if you are operating an excavator for lengthy periods of time in a quarry or large-scale construction site. Hitachi has reviewed the ergonomic design of its ZAXIS excavator cab to ensure that you can complete your shift with ease and enjoy the rest of your day. The fully adjustable air-suspension seat absorbs vibrations and helps to minimise operator fatigue. Its new sliding mechanism means that it can be moved back further than ever before. More leg room is also available as the space underneath the monitor has been expanded. The pressurized cab keeps dust and particles from entering.

Enjoy your work

By creating a relaxed and pleasant workspace, our aim was to make your day in the cab of the new ZAXIS more enjoyable and therefore more satisfying. If you enjoy listening to the radio as you work, you will find that the controls for the AM/FM stereo radio are now fully adjustable from the colour monitor. Alternatively, if you wish to plug in an MP3 player, an auxiliary terminal and MP3 player storage has also been added to the sound system, so that you can work smoothly and efficiently to your favourite music.

H/R cab

A variety of safety measures have been incorporated to minimise risks on the job site. The H/R and OPG (Top guard level II) compliant cab is designed to protect the operator from falling objects. The front window, made of straight laminated glass, is fixed to shut out dirt and debris.

Operator's Cab

Independent spacious (H/R cab), 1 025 mm wide by 1 817 mm high, conforming to ISO Standards.
