ZW150PL-5 Hitachi ZW150PL-5 Specifications & Technical Data (2015—2018)

Fuel efficiency

Hitachi has designed the new ZWPL-5 wheel loaders to deliver high levels of performance and productivity on the job site, while using significantly less fuel than previous models. Several features on the ZW140PL-5 / ZW150PL-5 result in greater fuel efficiency, which brings the benefits of lower running costs and a reduced impact on the environment. It not only satisfies the latest EU regulations on emission standards, but will also have a positive impact on the profitability of your business.

Auto engine shutdown

The optional auto engine shutdown feature enhances fuel efficiency by preventing wastage as well as unnecessary exhaust emissions. It ensures that the engine shuts down one minute after the machine has been placed in neutral.

Manoeuvrability

The ZWPL-5 wheel loader has been designed with both operator and owner in mind. Hitachi design engineers have incorporated several new features to enhance its operational efficiency and comfort, as well as to reduce running costs. Moving swiftly and adeptly around the job site, it is guaranteed to have a productive impact and contribute to the smooth overall running of any operation.

Maintenance

Wherever you operate the new ZW140PL-5 / ZW150PL-5 wheel loader, high levels of availability are guaranteed. This is thanks to a number of features that allow quick and easy routine maintenance procedures. Daily checks can be made at ground level, for example, because the engine cover can be opened fully, providing convenient access. The new ZWPL-5 wheel loaders have been designed to make life easier on the job site, allowing you to work productively and keep downtime to an absolute minimum.

Easy access

Hitachi has introduced a range of time-saving features on the new ZWPL-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. For operation in dust-filled environments, such as agricultural and waste handling applications, the ZWPL-5 wheel loader can be equipped with an optional anti-clogging radiator with wide fin pitch. Using the front console 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.

Two work modes

To minimise fuel consumption and maximise productivity, the new ZWPL-5 wheel loader has two work modes: Standard and P (Power) mode. Standard allows for smooth and efficient acceleration during loading, regular operations and travelling on level terrain. The engine speed is controlled and fuel consumption is reduced by up to 20%. The P mode is useful when greater traction force is required for heavy-duty excavation and travelling up gradual slopes. The engine’s maximum rpm is increased by approximately 10% for greater productivity, and results in a faster front speed and greater rimpull while digging.

New HST control system

Hitachi engineers have equipped the ZW140PL-5 / ZW150PL-5 with a new HST Control system, which helps to reduce fuel consumption by approximately 20% when it is used for digging. The new wheel loader also uses between 11 and 18% less fuel when travelling – again thanks to the HST system.

ECO display

The ECO display shows the operator when the wheel loader is operating economically in ECO drive and results in fuel-saving performance. Fuel consumption is minimised by the automatic control of the engine speed. The ECO display will turn off following excessive acceleration or when shifting down a gear is recommended to save fuel.

Rimpull control system

The ZW140PL-5 / ZW150PL-5 rimpull control system strikes a perfect balance between rimpull and front digging force – it allows for a superior digging performance. Rimpull can be adjusted to varying degrees, depending on the work mode. Without rimpull control, the breakout force would not be sufficient for digging.

Inching pedal

The inching pedal reduces the travelling speed of the ZW140PL-5 / ZW150PL-5 without braking, while full engine speed is available for lifting purposes, for example to load a truck. It is particularly beneficial for use on small job sites or in confined areas, and for short-cycle operations.

Enjoy your day

A happy operator is also a more productive one. That’s why we have enhanced the versatility of the audio equipment, so you can listen to your favourite music while you work. The AM/FM stereo radio now has an auto-tuning feature and the two-speaker stereo system provides excellent sound quality. It is also possible to connect this with your personal MP3 player thanks to the inclusion of an MP3 dock.

For operator comfort, the ZWPL-5 series is second to none

Hitachi has prioritised operator comfort in the design of the ZWPL-5 wheel loaders to give you a greater sense of enjoyment during your working day. The sloped ladder and wide steps allow quick and easy access to the cab. The heated air-suspension seat with adjustable lumbar support can slide back further than ever before, allowing more leg room. The wrist and arm rests and right-hand side console are ergonomically positioned, and the tilting telescopic and pop-up steering column has also been repositioned to create additional space.

Pleasant working conditions

Busy construction sites and quarries can be stressful environments to work in, but Hitachi has installed a range of features in the new ZWPL-5 wheel loaders to make you feel more relaxed wherever you are. An effective air conditioning system regulates the temperature within the cab. An optional air-conditioning filter can also be fitted for working in industrial waste and indoor disposal facilities. Noise levels within the cab have been reduced thanks to a high level of sound insulation.

Space for storage

Working long shifts means that you can spend most of your day in the cab of the ZWPL-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 or at the side of 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.
