ZW 370-5 Hitachi ZW 370-5 Specifications & Technical Data (2013—2016)

Quick and easy service access

The redesigned engine cover provides easy access to inspection points and allows for quick maintenance at ground level.

Space for storage

Working long shifts means that you can spend most of your day in the cab of the ZW-5 wheel loader. Hitachi has incorporated several practical features to make you feel more at home. There is a large space for a lunch box to be placed behind the seat. The cab also has a large cool box, which is cooled by the air conditioner, with enough storage space for four cans or bottles. The cab also has a drinks holder, designed to hold a 1.5-litre bottle.

Advanced technology

Hitachi is renowned for creating high-quality construction equipment capable of high levels of performance and productivity, and draws upon decades of developments in advanced technology to do so. The new ZW-5 wheel loaders are further examples of its endeavours. They are equipped with many new features designed to reduce their impact on the environment and lower fuel consumption, while also increasing productivity levels on the job site.

Environmental Awareness

The new Hitachi ZW-5 wheel loader range has been designed to have a positive effect on the environment, its immediate surroundings and on the profitability of your business. Each model complies with the latest EU regulations on emission standards and is more fuel-efficient than the previous ZW-3 version, which means it can help to reduce running costs. With enhanced all-round visibility from the cab, the ZW370-5 contributes to a safer working environment, as operators have an excellent view of the job site and other construction machinery at work nearby.

Productivity

Easier to manoeuvre than the previous model, the new ZW370-5 wheel loader is extremely quick and efficient on the job site. It has been equipped with the latest hydraulics and gearshift systems, which also aim to boost productivity levels. Hitachi is aware of the impact that your choice of wheel loader can have on your business and therefore made productivity a key factor in the design of the new ZW-5 range.

Maintenance

The new ZW-5 wheel loader range promises to deliver high levels of productivity and availability, thanks to a variety of new features that make routine maintenance and cleaning simple to carry out. Daily checks can be made at ground level, for example, because the engine and radiator cover can be opened fully, providing convenient access. So you can maximise the uptime of your ZW370-5 quickly and easily, and spend more time on the task at hand.

Easy access

Hitachi has introduced a range of time-saving features on the new ZW-5 wheel loaders, which are designed to make life easier for you on the job site. Many of the covers on the machine can be opened fully so you can access maintenance points quickly and easily on a daily basis. Many features – such as the greasing points, oil levels and the fuel filters – can be accessed at ground level. Using the technology within the multi-function LCD monitor you can set the routine service schedule to help prevent breakdowns each time the ignition switch is turned on.

Easy cleaning

Quick and easy routine maintenance is essential for you to achieve high levels of productivity on the job site. The new Hitachi ZW wheel loaders are capable of working for longer thanks to convenient features, such as the automatic reversible cooling fan. The fan allows for easy cleaning of the radiator with its one-minute automatic reverse rotation every 30 operating minutes. In moderate working conditions, this can be manually operated for cleaning as necessary. Dust from the radiator can be easily cleared through the slide opening of the oil cooler.

Advanced technology

The quick power switch boosts the power of the ZW-5 wheel loader when required by changing the work mode.

Lower fuel costs

The new ZW-5 wheel loader can work in two modes, which provide an appropriate level of performance for a particular job. One is for regular operations with the benefit of efficient fuel consumption; the other is for more demanding tasks and increases productivity. The optional auto-engine shutdown function avoids fuel wastage while the machine is long idling.

Powerful engine

The 15.68-litre six-cylinder water-cooled turbo engine enables a powerful digging performance, impressive travel speeds and benefits from excellent fuel consumption.

Simple work mode

The new ZW-5 wheel loader can operate in two modes to ensure lower fuel consumption and maximise productivity: Standard mode is for regular duties such as loading materials; and P mode is chosen for more demanding tasks such as heavy duty digging. In Standard mode, the engine speed is controlled, which allows for smooth and efficient acceleration during loading, regular operations and travelling on level terrain. Fuel consumption is reduced by up to 10%, enhancing its environmentally friendly performance. The P mode is useful when greater traction force is required for heavy-duty excavation and travelling uphill. By fully utilising the engine’s capability, it allows for powerful digging and a quick ascent up gradual slopes.

Lock-up function

Lower levels of fuel consumption have been achieved by the lock-up function on the ZW370-5. The lock-up is activated in second, third and fourth gears, and allows the wheel loader to travel quickly and more efficiently.

Power Train

Automatic transmission with load sensing system. Clutch cut position switch. Differential. TPD (Torque Proportioning Differential, front and rear). DSS (Down Shift Switch). Forward/Reverse lever. Forward/Reverse selector switch. Lock-up clutch (torque converter). Power mode switch. Quick power switch. Traction control system. Travel mode selector (Auto1-Auto2).

High productivity

A new hydraulic circuit facilitates the combined operation of the bucket and lift arm for loading and prioritises use of the bucket for loading work.

Electrical System

Backup alarm. Batteries. Standard batteries (174AH-930A). Large capacity batteries (185AH-1170A). Battery disconnect switch. Engine auto shut-down control system. Immobilizer key. 12V power outlet.

Sustainable operation

A muffler filter captures air pollutants, which are automatically burnt thanks to an oxidation catalyst and exhaust temperature control.

Spacious cab

The heated air-suspension seat can slide further back, providing more legroom. The tilting telescopic pop-up steering column has also been repositioned to create additional space.

Lights

Brake & tail lights. Clearance lights. Headlights. Turn signals with hazard switch. Work lights. Front lights on cab (2). Rear lights on rear grille side cover (2). Additional front lights on cab (2). Rear lights on cab (2).

Engine

Warning lights: air filter restriction, auto brake warning, brake oil low pressure, communications system error, discharge warning, engine oil low pressure, engine warning, hydraulic oil level, low steering oil pressure, overheat, transmission warning.

Shift-up delay to third gear

This system delays the timing of the shift-up to the 3rd gear to enhance safer operation of the ZW-5 wheel loader in confined spaces. The wheel loader can perform excavating and unloading tasks more safely in first and second gear.

Manoeuvrability and Control Features

The manoeuvrability of the ZW-5 wheel loader series has been enhanced by automatic gearshift controls. The Auto 1 option automatically shifts between first and fourth gears, depending on the load, when second to fourth gears have been engaged. The Auto 2 option automatically shifts between second and fourth gears, relative to the load. The operator can also change gear manually using the Down Shift Switch, if required, to suit the terrain on any job site. Additionally, the ZW-5 series is equipped with a ride control feature that reduces vibration while the wheel loader is travelling on rough ground or snow. In auto mode, it turns on and off automatically while the wheel loader is in operation.
