ZX140W-6 Hitachi Excavator Specs & Dimensions - (2017 - 2020)

Demand perfection

Designed with more than 100 updates, from tiny seals and O-rings to the reinforcement of the upper structure, boom and arm system, and incorporating new engines with Stage IV technology, the ZX140W-6 has been developed to perfection. All of these improvements – large and small – combine to provide greater durability, better performance and increased efficiency, with the overall aim being to lower the total cost of ownership.

Definition of Durability

The most important factor for users and owners of construction equipment is that it works, every time. High levels of availability are linked to the durability of the ZX140W-6, which has been designed with robust features and components to operate reliably, even in difficult working environments.

Strong front attachment

The brackets on the boom end and foot are equipped with bushings to withstand working for long periods in tough environments. The robust chassis adds to the durability of the ZX140W-6.

Power boost

The tried-and-tested power-boost feature has 10% more capacity than the ZX140W-3. This increases the capability of the ZX140W-6 to deliver an enhanced level of excavating performance and lifting power.

Reduced maintenance

The counterweight has been redesigned and features LEDs in the tail lights. These not only provide better visibility in poor light, but also require less maintenance, which helps to reduce costs.

Strength in technology

The ZX140W-6 is a typical example of Hitachi’s advanced technological approach to meet the needs of the construction industry with its reliable solutions. The innovative wheeled excavator incorporates several technological features designed to enhance efficiency, improve performance and reduce the total cost of ownership.

Greater productivity

The ZX140W-6 is equipped with a powerful new engine, which helps to boost productivity by 9% with the same level of fuel consumption as the Zaxis-5 model. HIOS IV technology reduces hydraulic loss, which results in excellent efficiency.

Easy maintenance

The lightweight split-type engine hood opens widely for convenience. It provides easy access to the engine compartment and after-treatment device for routine maintenance.

More efficient cooling

The expansion tank is mounted on top of the engine’s cooling system. This revised position means that the air can be completely removed and prevents the engine parts from overheating.

User-friendly fuel filter

The main fuel filter screws into place on the ZX140W-6. This makes it easier to replace and ensures that dust is prevented from entering the fuel circuit during routine maintenance procedures.

Superior cooling performance

The upper structure benefits from high-quality sealant (around the cooling package) and acoustic materials to eliminate any deterioration caused by heat. These ensure the long-term cooling and low-noise acoustic performance of the ZX140W-6.

Greater protection

The blade cylinder cover is larger on the ZX140W-6 than the previous model. The outrigger’s cylinder cover has also been reinforced. This enhances the reliability of both components.

High ground clearance

The ZX140W-6 utilises an integrated transmission axle for efficient power transmission. The transmission unit is also installed over the axle to reduce damage caused by hitting unexpected obstacles.

Durable hydraulic connection

A rubber hose fitted with a flange has been incorporated into the design of the hydraulic return pipes. These enhance the reliability of the system and reduce the risk of oil leaks.

Excellent visibility

The cab of the Zaxis-6 wheeled excavator offers excellent visibility. It features a small steering column and a monitor positioned within the right pillar, so not to obscure the operator’s view of the job site.

Advanced audio system

The AM/FM radio is accessible from the monitor and an auxiliary socket – for devices such as MP3 players – is linked to the sound system. This choice of entertainment helps to provide an enjoyable – and productive – working environment.

User-friendly functionality

A large seven-inch multi-function LCD monitor provides a wide range of useful technical information. With multi-lingual support in up to 32 languages, it enables operators to check the machine’s status and settings at a glance.
