Hitachi ZX17U-6 overview

Hitachi ZX17U-6 features overview

Greater versatility
Adjustable crawler track is ideal in confined areas or when greater stability is required.
Short-tail swing radius
The short-tail swing radius is ideal for urban areas where space is limited.
Outstanding versatility
The crawler tracks can be extended from 980mm depending on job site requirement, to work in small spaces or for loading onto a truck up to 1,280mm for greater stability.

Expandable crawler tracks increase versatility and stability. Short tail swing radius is ideal for working in tight spaces.

Engine / Driveline and transmission

Convenient access
The engine and radiator covers have been designed to allow easy access. More space around the fuel tank opening makes refueling of the new mini excavators easier.

Easy-to-open covers provide quick access. Sufficient space around the fuel tank opening for easy refueling.

Hydraulics

Easy operation
The user-friendly controls are within easy reach of the operator and the hydraulic pilot control levers ensure smooth operation. Low noise levels, even with the roof design, allow operators to work more comfortably.
