SH490LHD-6 Sumitomo excavator specs & Dimensions (2020 - 2026)

Lever Switches

One-touch idle, horn, radio mute, or one-touch wiper buttons are installed on the operation levers in consideration of improved operability while working.

Engine and Hydraulics

SH490LHD-6 has achieved a 13% fuel saving in comparison with our DASH 5 series, by using the new generation engine system "SPACE 5+" and the new hydraulic system "SIH:S+", further refining fuel efficiency. At the same time the newly developed ISUZU engine contributes greatly to the environment. SUMITOMO's original technology Spool Stroke Control (SSC) perfectly matches the engine and hydraulic power, and further improves the operational speed whilst maintaining smooth control of the machine.

New Generation Engine System "SPACE 5+"

The new engine system optimises fuel efficiency and environmental performance via the advanced common rail fuel injection system, cooled EGR system. At the same time, excellent response times are achieved.

Work Efficiency Drastically Increased

Spool Stroke Control (SSC) variably controls spool port flow rate, depending on the condition of operation. Improved power, speed, and smoother controls mean that work efficiency is dramatically increased.

9% Faster Cycle Time (SP mode)

Speed increase by 9% in cycle time has been achieved, giving further advance in productivity (as compared with DASH 5 [SP mode]).

Automatic Power Boost

The digging power increases automatically in quick response to the working conditions during heavy-duty digging work. This is a design unique to SUMITOMO, and continues for eight seconds (SP/H mode).

EMS (Easy Maintenance System) as Standard

SUMITOMO's EMS keeps the pins and bushes fully lubricated at all times and prevents rattling. This system significantly extends the service life of the pins and bushes. The lubrication interval is 1,000 hours, keeping the pins lubricated for a long time and extending the service life of parts by reducing abrasion and rattling.

High-Performance Return Filter

The hydraulic oil change interval is 5,000 hours, and the return filter change interval is 2,000 hours. One high performance return filter keeps the same level of filtering as a nephron.

High Rigidity Attachments

The structure of the boom and arm has been further improved, ensuring strength and durability. In addition, high strength castings are used for the boom base and arm end, improving reliability.

Maintenance

Serviceability and durability are also important points of machine performance. Ground level access to the engine area makes daily maintenance extremely straightforward. Reliability has been further enhanced by increasing cooling capability and durability.

Ground Level Access to Engine Area Improves Preventative Maintenance

Parts cleaning and maintenance are possible from the ground without climbing onto the upper structure of the excavator body.

Operating Condition Easily Viewable on Display

Various control such as working modes and auxiliary hydraulic setting can be easily selected by the universally designed switch panel, and what is being selected can be easily viewed on the 7" wide monitor.

New Cab Suspension Mounts

The new cab suspension mounts reduce vibration and impact transmitted to the cabin, and improve the operator’s sitting quality and reduce operator fatigue. The sealed and pressurised cabin prevents entry of dust from outside.

Safe and Easy Entry into and Exit from the Cab

A large handrail for easy opening/closing of the door and increased floor space permit the operator to get in and out of the cab easily.

Safety and Operator Comfort

The spacious cab on suspension mounts and reclining suspension seat softens operator fatigue and provide a relaxed environment. To support the operator in the field, the DASH 6 incorporates a 7 inch wide full-colour LCD monitor with numerous functions and easy operation switch panel. The cabin with enhanced operator comfort ensures a safe working environment.

Stylish and Spacious Cab

Wide cab space and floor space ensure more comfortable operation. In addition to the tilting console that is adjustable in four steps vertically, the increased sliding distance ensures optimum working conditions.

Super-comfortable Reclining Seat

The seat reclining system allows the operator to lay the seat flat and to rest on site without having to remove the headrest. The suspension seat eliminates vibration and fatigue. Air suspension is also available as option.

Large High-Definition LCD Monitor

A new large high-definition full colour LCD monitor has been introduced with better visibility and a switch panel which is easy to operate. Added functionality such as ECO gauge showing parameter of energy saving, display of operation status and warning messages, provides accurate information which improves work efficiency and safety.

Pre-air cleaner

A pre air cleaner is provided as standard. The air cleaner cleaning frequency is minimised, even when operating in dusty conditions.

Automatic Air Conditioner

Fully automatic climate control is available through the eight vents, with an 8% stronger A/C unit, and a 24% improvement in airflow.

Radio and Speaker with USB Port and MP3 Jack

In addition to the AM/FM radio and dual speaker system with improved sound quality, an auxiliary sound port is provided standard for devices such as MP3 players.
