ZX145W-6 Hitachi Excavator Specs & Dimensions - (2016 - 2020)

Demand Perfection

The short-tail swing ZX145W-6 is a perfect fit for urban job sites, particularly where space is limited. Hitachi has developed it to perfection with more than 100 design updates. Designed to provide greater durability, better performance and increased operational efficiency, the ZX145W-6 offers a lower total cost of ownership.

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 reinforced chassis adds to the durability of the ZX145W-6.

Invaluable Versatility

The ZX145W-6 is suitable for working in urban areas, particularly on roads and surfaces that can be damaged by crawler excavators, and where space is limited. For small companies, this versatile wheeled excavator may be the only machine they require. For larger businesses, it’s an invaluable addition to their fleet.

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.

Compact and powerful

The short-tail swing of the ZX145W-6 enables it to fit into confined spaces, which makes it suitable for a wider variety of job sites than the standard 14-tonne model. Its compact dimensions are combined with a powerful lifting force and good stability.

True to technology

Hitachi aims to meet the needs of the European construction industry by providing reliable solutions that stay true to its technological heritage. Incorporating unique and advanced technology, the innovative ZX145W-6 has been developed to enhance efficiency, improve performance and reduce the total cost of ownership for customers.

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 ZX145W-6. This makes it easier to replace and ensures that dust is prevented from entering the fuel circuit during routine maintenance procedures.

Reliable refuelling

The electric fuel-refilling unit is fitted with a standard filter, which prevents fuel contamination. This improves the engine’s reliability.

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 ZX145W-6.

Greater productivity

The ZX145W-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.

Greater protection

The blade cylinder cover is larger on the ZX145W-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 ZX145W-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.

Quality first

Every Hitachi wheeled excavator is rigorously checked before delivery for the highest possible standards of safety and reliability. The quality of its engineering and design is evident, not only from the superior materials used in the cab, but also its exceptional performance on 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.

Greater flexibility

The rotary tilt and tilt modes are included within the attachment support system on the ZX145W-6. These and nine other modes can be registered on the monitor for the easy fitment of attachments to increase versatility.
