2018 Hitachi Construction Machinery Reduced-Tail-Swing Excavators ZX345USLC-6

2018 Hitachi Construction Machinery Reduced-Tail-Swing Excavators ZX345USLC-6

The ZX345USLC-6 is the largest of Hitachi’s reduced-tail-swing excavators. Whether it's road building or work in congested quarters, the ZX345USLC-6 packs all the power you need into its reduced tail-swing design. It features a fuel-efficient EPA Final Tier 4 (FT4)/EU Stage IV Isuzu engine - no diesel particulate filter (DPF) needed. You also get our exclusive TRIAS II three-pump hydraulic technology for the industry's fastest cycle times. This workhorse is equipped with a comfortable, full-size cab and a hefty undercarriage. A standard factory-installed auxiliary function lever with optional auxiliary hydraulic lines increases versatility and simplified maintenance keeps you running longer.

The ZX345USLC-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:

• An Isuzu EPA Final Tier 4 (FT4)/EU Stage IV engine delivers fuel-efficient and reliable performance.

• The FT4 engine solution does not require a diesel particulate filter (DPF), saving service time and lowering operating costs.

• Auto-idle, which reduces engine speed when hydraulics aren’t in use, and auto-shutdown contribute to fuel efficiency.

• The pressurized fuel system improves fuel injector operation, and the fuel recirculation system helps prevent fuel gelling in cold climates – so you can maintain maximum productivity.

• The hefty undercarriage, designed for a 35-metric-ton machine, provides greater stability, increased lift capacity and a lower center of gravity.

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

• Reinforced D-channel side frames provide maximum cab and component impact protection.

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

• Tungsten-carbide-coated surfaces protect the critical bucket-to-arm joint.

• 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 diesel particulate filter (DPF).
