2018 Hitachi Construction Machinery Utility Excavators ZX180LC-6
Power through the tough spotsThe ZX180LC-6 is specifically designed to appeal to small local contractors, water and sewer contractors and those who dig basements and pools. It packs excellent productivity and fuel economy into a small package. The fuel-efficient EPA Final Tier 4 (FT4)/EU Stage IV Isuzu engine meets rigid emission standards and maintenance is simplified because no diesel particulate filter (DPF) is needed. Safety and accessibility has been enhanced with the addition of standard upperstructure handrails and the easy-to-operate controls are smooth and responsive.
The ZX180LC-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:
Engine- The FT4 engine solution does not require a diesel particulate filter (DPF), saving service time and lowering operating costs.
- An Isuzu EPA Final Tier 4 (FT4)/EU Stage IV engine delivers fuel-efficient and reliable performance. Fuel pressure, timing and volume are precisely regulated by electronic control for efficient combustion with Isuzu’s common-rail fuel injection system.
- Auto-idle, which reduces engine speed when hydraulics aren’t in use, and auto-shutdown contribute to fuel efficiency.
Durable structure and undercarriage- Reinforced D-channel side frames provide maximum cab and component impact protection.
- Tungsten-carbide-coated surfaces protect the critical bucket-to-arm joint.
- Thick-plate single-sheet mainframe, box-section track frames and industry exclusive double-seal swing bearing deliver rock-solid durability.
- With large idlers, rollers and strutted track links, the sealed and lubricated undercarriage is built for the long haul.
- 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).
Hydraulics- 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.
- Stay on schedule with generous swing torque, digging force and lift capacity.
- Muscle through tough digging by pressing the power-boost button.
