HIGHLIGHTS

Large Production with Less Fuel

4% Reduction in Fuel Consumption

New ZAXIS is a fuel-thrifty excavator that can reduce fuel consumption by 4%*, compared to the conventional ZX850-3/ ZX850-3F family, thanks to the HIOS IIIB hydraulic system and engine control system, thereby reducing CO2 emissions.

*H/P mode vs. conventional model's H/P mode

More Fuel Reduction in the ECO mode

The ECO mode, a new economical mode, can further cut fuel consumption by 10% compared to the PWR mode, without sacrifcing digging speed by optimal matching of operations.

Swift Front Movements with HIOS* III Hydraulics

Operating speed increases with less fuel consumption thanks to the HIOS III hydraulic system, developed by industry-leading hydraulic technologies and a wealth of experience. Actuators work quickly by boom weight, without needing a regenerative circuit and pressure oil.

*Human & Intelligent Operation System

Improved Arm Controllability

Improved arm controllability for level luffing and level crowding for front movements, including swing operations. The boom regenerative circuit using the boom weight and the newly adopted variable orifice of the swing circuit help ensure hydraulic oil can be effectively allocated and pressure loss can be reduced.

9%* Enhancement in Swing Torque

One of the key performance requirements for mining machinery is swing power. It must be capable of holding and swinging buckets full of crushed stones powerfully, and then loading them onto a dump truck. The new ZAXIS adopts a newly developed swing device to improve swing power by 9%* over conventional models. It also has sufficient capacity to load crushed stones onto a dump truck.

*Compared to the conventional ZX850-3 / ZX850-3F family

Easy-to-Use Attachments

The operator can adjust extra circuit flow and check settings from the multifunction monitor next to the operator seat. What’s more, 11 jobs, including flow rate setting, can easily be selected by their identified names

Pursuits of Performance and Durability

Prestige R&D and Quality Control

Hitachi has earned praise for technological prowess and product performance around the world. R&D Division has a track record – including excellent design, stress analysis expertise using CAE system, and abundant production data base. What’s more, a large-scale durability test field (427 hm2) allows for a series of stringent testing of new machines. Production Division strives to automatize production processes, including robotic welding, machining, painting, assembling and transferring.

Durable, Reliable Engine

This engine has a track record showing impressive durability at countless tough job sites around the world. The engine - associated with a rugged design, a direct fuel injection system and an elaborate governor - goes green, and complies with EU Stage II and US EPA Tier 2 emissions regulations. The cooling system well keeps the engine cool.

The cooling system has excellent cooling capability with a radiator and oil cooler arranged in parallel. The system optimizes the rotational speed of two cooling fans, depending on the temperatures of coolant and hydraulic oil, contributing to excellent cooling capability and noise reduction. The combination of a 360 kW (483 HP) engine and the new HIOS IIIB hydraulic system meets requirements, in terms of both output and fuel consumption.

Rock-Solid, Durable Front Attachment

A very robust and durable boom and arm are adopted for the Front Attachment, allowing it to function optimally at tough job sites such as mines / quarries, where an endless stream of operations is required. The ZX870H-5G/ZX870LCH-5G adopts an H-boom and H-arm, using plates thicker than those of standard models. The arm also includes a damage prevention plate and square bars; improving its durability compared to the standard model.

The arm cylinder, boom cylinders and bucket cylinder for the retract side cushion shocks at the stroke ends to reduce noise and extend the service life

Strengthened Undercarriage

The reliable undercarriage structure of the conventional ZAXIS models is retained for the new ZAXIS. For idler brackets, where stress is concentrated in transit, the box-structure and reinforcing plates limit deformation and enhance travel stability. An enhanced two-step side step ladder is also provided to facilitate entering/alighting from the cab

Strengthened Upperstructure D-Section Skirt

For the new ZAXIS, the plate thickness of the D-section skirt is increased by 30% to improve durability performance. A large door catch is added to reduce shocks and jolts of the cab and upperstructure.

No Compromise on Operator Comfort

Comfortable Operating Environment

You'll feel comfortable and confident, with plenty of leg space and excellent visibility when entering the cab. The new compact console gives more leg space. The new door pillar is shifted rearward by 70 mm to widen an entry space for easy access. A new LED room light, interlocked with the door, turns on when the door opens. The front window is easily removed and stored overhead using slide rails. The overhead window is openable for ventilation. Lots more air vents for air conditioner are located strategically for uniform air circulation inside the cab. The control panel and control levers are arranged within easy reach of the operator. AM/FM radio and AUX port (optional) for a mobile music player are available for a long work day with less fatigue. All these designs focus on operator comfort.

Comfort-Designed Operator Seat

The luxury cloth seat is fitted with a headrest and arm rests for operator comfort. The seat can be adjusted in multiple ways, sliding and reclining, to suit operator’s size and preferences. The seat can slide rearward by 40 mm more for added leg space. The air suspension seat with a heat pad is optional.

Robust Cab

The robust cab, meeting the OPG (Top Guard Level 1), protects the operator from falling objects. The pilot control shut-off lever is provided with a neutral engine start system that permits engine starting only when the pilot control shut-off lever is in Lock position.

New, Easy-to-Use Multifunction Monitor

The new multi-language, multifunction monitoring system comprises a 7-inch highresolution color monitor and a multifunction controller. The monitor allows the operator to check varying operating variables: coolant temperature, fuel level, work mode, full-auto air conditioner, AM/FM radio, rear view monitor camera (optional), maintenance support, and attachment flow adjustment. Menu items can be selected and adjusted by a multifunction controller on the control panel. A new rear view monitor camera always displays the view behind the machine

Simplified Maintenance

Concentrated Inspection Points

Inspection points are concentrated inside left cover and undercover that are readily accessible for convenient servicing and inspection, including water draining from the fuel tank, replenishment of filters. A lid behind the cab door is available for easy replacement of the air conditioner filters for fresh air.

Fast Lubrication

The arm and boom have their own centralized greasing points for fast lubrication. An optional electric grease gun with hose-reel or an auto-grease lubricator is also available for faster greasing / lubrication.

Easy-Access to the Upperstructure

A large sidewalk is provided on the left side of the cab, making it easy to access the engine from the ladder while handrails are provided and sufficient slip-resistant plates for safety.

Low Life Cycle Costs

Service intervals are long enough to slash maintenance costs.

1110 L Large Capacity Fuel Tank

Equipped with a large capacity fuel tank for longer operations.
