ZX170W-6 Hitachi Excavator Specs & Dimensions - (2017 - 2021)

Proven reliability

Hitachi is renowned for manufacturing reliable construction machinery. Its Zaxis-6 wheeled excavator range has been designed to achieve optimum levels of performance and availability, and operate efficiently all day, every day, with minimal downtime.

Outstanding Durability

The durability of the ZX170W-6 ensures it can achieve high levels of availability and operates reliably every time, even in challenging conditions. It has been designed with robust features and components, including a durable undercarriage and class-leading exhaust equipment.

Power boost

The tried-and-tested power-boost feature has 10% more capacity than the ZX170W-3. This increases the capability of the ZX170W-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.

Pioneering technology

The innovative ZX170W-6 incorporates several technological features designed to enhance efficiency, improve performance and reduce the total cost of ownership. It epitomises Hitachi’s advanced technological approach to meet the needs of the European construction industry with its reliable solutions.

Building a Better Future

Established in 1910, Hitachi, Ltd. was built upon a founding philosophy of making a positive contribution to society through technology. This is still the inspiration behind the Hitachi group’s reliable solutions that answer today’s challenges and help to create a better world. Hitachi, Ltd. is now one of the world’s largest corporations, with a vast range of innovative products and services. These have been created to challenge convention, improve social infrastructure and contribute to a sustainable society.

Enhanced fuel circuit

A high-performance water separator and cold fuel resistance valve are integrated into the pre-filter for added protection against moisture. In addition, a large capacity electric fuel pump supplies an appropriate amount of fuel to the engine for improved performance.

Engine protection

The combustion chamber is made from stronger materials and the revised shape of the piston is designed to achieve cleaner emissions. These features will further enhance the reliability of the engine.

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 ZX170W-6.

Greater protection

The blade cylinder cover is larger on the ZX170W-6 than the previous model. The outrigger’s cylinder cover has also been reinforced. This enhances the reliability of both components.

Extraordinary versatility

Versatility is vital for users of wheeled excavators. The ZX170W-6 is easy to operate and manoeuvre, both on- and off-road, and is suitable for various applications with different attachments. Its modular undercarriage design also offers flexibility – outriggers can be positioned at the front or rear, or in combination with a blade, for excellent stability.

Greater flexibility

The rotary tilt and tilt modes are included within the attachment support system on the ZX170W-6. These and nine other modes can be registered on the monitor for the easy fitment of attachments to increase versatility.

Saving fuel and costs

Hydraulic loss is decreased by HIOS IV technology. It reduces the hydraulic oil returned to the tank due to the cooperative control of the pump and valve. This helps to lower fuel consumption by 10% in PWR mode with the same productivity.

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.

Oil leak prevention

The O-rings on the swing motor are made from fluorine. This highly durable material withstands high oil temperatures and reinforces the parts’ reliability to prevent oil leaks.

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.
