ZW20 Hitachi ZW20 Specifications & Technical Data (2017—2021)

Functional Beauty for Greater Work Performance

Heavy load performance that supports powerful digging, excellent stability, and strong traction force. Steering performance that improves work efficiency in tight job site. All part of greater work performance.

Reinforced Mainframe

To reinforce the front and rear frames, a box-section structure has been introduced. This improves durability, which results in greater reliability.

Functional Beauty—Centralized Rear Maintenance to Reduce Costs

In pursuit of functional beauty, models featuring this new design are not just beautiful, but also have easy and reduced running costs.

Features of HST

Continuously adjustable speed can be achieved by operating the acceleration pedal - enabling start, acceleration, and stopping to be performed automatically. Operation is made easy with smooth automated speed controls. Precision operations possible at extremely low speeds. Excellent mechanical operations with highly responsive acceleration. Smooth startup on slopes using HST brake. Excellent traction at all speeds range.

A Single-Speed Locking Mechanism to Support All Operations

The switch selects the travel speed between work mode and travel mode. When the switch is set to LOW, the speed is fixed at work mode's level. The switch is set to AUTO, which automatically selects the travel and mode criteria's drive (automatic variable speed) mode.

Improved Starting Performance

When the outside air temperature is low and starting the engine is difficult, starting performance can be improved by turning the key switch to the HEAT (preheat) ON position.

Other Features

Enclosed wet-disc brake. Electric parking brake. Safety system that disables engine. Easy maintenance. Equipped with HN bush. Large fuel tank (33 L capacity).

Wide-Open Engine Cover

Daily maintenance is simplified with wide-open engine cover and lowest counterweight. The engine cover can be opened at a touch, and is held with a gas damper. The engine room, which can be fully open, enables maintenance such as inspections, replacements and filling to be carried out with ease.

Replacement Friendly Filter Layout

The layout enables easy replacement of the fuel and hydraulic system filters. These fuel filters are integrated combining water separator functions. The filters, including the engine oil filter and hydraulic oil tank return filters, are cartridge type filters for easy replacement.

Panoramic-View Cab for Good Field of Vision (Optional)

Has a large sliding window on the left, a large windshield giving an unobstructed view of the front. The cab enables panoramic views with the addition of a lower window, which was absent in previous models, the removal of the rear corner pillar, and the use of a new and improved defroster nozzle, etc., providing a wide field of vision.

Quiet Cab Interior

Quiet interior design for operator comfort. Cab interior noise has been greatly suppressed to achieve quiet driving on rubber-mounted hydraulics, a tightly-sealed can operator frame and a new low-noise engine.

Cab Specifications (Optional)

Wide panorama cab (without ROPS / FOPS). Wider foot space and lever operation area with stylishly spacious design, improved operability and operator comfort.

Excellent Stability

The machine is well balanced by lowering the center of gravity, keeping balance between front and rear, and left and right.

Lowering Large Counterweight

The use of a large counterweight at the bottom of the rear lowers the center of gravity, and improves stability.

Easy-to-Use Towing Pin

By lowering the towing pin position, it becomes unnecessary to lift a heavy rope, enabling much more stable towing performance.

Ample Dumping Clearance and Reach

In order to improve turning performance, such as the distance and position from the front axle center pin and center pin to rear axle, great improvements have been made to the latest model. In this way, the compact wheel loader is now easier to use in city streets and other confined work spaces.
