Hitachi says its two new excavators offer unparalleled reach and depth capabilities
Hitachi Construction Machinery Americas has unveiled two Super Long Front (SLF) excavator models: the ZX250LC-7 SLF and the ZX350LC-7 SLF.
The 23-tonne and 32-tonne class machines come equipped with a genuine Hitachi bucket while offering unparalleled reach and depth capabilities, the company states.
The ZX250LC-7 SLF boasts a ground level reach of 18.2 metres and a digging depth of 14.4 metres, while the ZX350LC-7 SLF extends even further with a ground level reach of 21.9 metres and a digging depth of 17.4 metres.
Hitachi says these capabilities make the new SLF models ideal for a range of applications, including dredging, barge and waterway operations, roadwork, agricultural and dairy projects and site cleanup.
Both models feature an enlarged counterweight providing operators with enhanced control of the super long arm for steady performance during operations.
A dedicated swing motor enhances responsiveness, ensuring precise manoeuvrability in challenging environments, Hitachi adds.
Additionally, the versatile dig end dimensions are compatible with a variety of bucket and attachment types.
