2018 Hitachi Construction Machinery Construction / Production Excavators ZX870LC-6

When the job requires a serious excavator to get things done you can count on the ZX870LC-6 – Hitachi’s largest production-class excavator. The production-class excavator features a fuel-efficient EPA Final Tier 4 (FT4)/EU Stage IV Isuzu engine that meets rigid emission standards. The best part? No diesel particulate filter (DPF) is needed. You also get generous swing torque, digging force, and lift capacity. Convenient machine access with step positioning on the track frame and an upper-structure walkway. And controls that deliver smooth and responsive hydraulics.

The ZX870LC-6 comes standard equipped with five years of ZXLink™ Ultimate, giving you 24/7 online access to machine location, health, utilization, fuel consumption, and other valuable information – so you can better understand costs and jobsite performance.

Features may include:

• The ZX870LC-6 features a fuel-efficient EPA Final Tier 4 (FT4)/EU Stage IV Isuzu engine that meets rigid emission standards.

• An added coolant expansion tank provides make-up fluid when needed and improves cooling system efficiency, keeping the engine at peak performance.

• Our FT4 field-proven technology is simple and efficient, employing cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), and selective catalytic reduction (SCR). An improved piston design allows particulate matter to be burned in cylinder, so there’s no need for a DPF.

• With large idlers, rollers, and strutted track links, the sealed and lubricated undercarriage is built for the long haul.

• Swing-out coolers, protected behind heavy-duty hinged doors, are easy to access and clean.

• Thick-plate, single-sheet mainframe, box-section track frames, and industry exclusive double-seal swing bearings deliver rock-solid durability.

• Engine and hydraulic oil sample ports allow for quick and convenient, proactive maintenance checks, which keep you running longer.

• It’s not always about brute force. Unmatched metering and smooth multifunction operation provide finesse and precision.

• Stay on schedule with generous swing torque, digging force and lift capacity.

• Muscle through tough digging by pressing the power-boost button.

• Multi-language LCD monitor and rotary dial provide easy access to machine info and functions. Turn and tap to select work modes, monitor maintenance intervals, check diagnostic codes, and set cab temperature. Control oil flow and toggle between dig and thumb modes with a programmable thumb attachment mode.

• Ergonomically correct short-throw pilot levers provide smooth, precise control with less effort.
