New Hitachi ZX130-6 does not compromise on performance

Hitachi Construction Machinery (Europe) NV (HCME) has launched the ZX130-6 medium excavator. Designed and engineered to meet the demands of the European construction industry, it is the smallest model in the Zaxis-6 medium excavator range, and does not compromise on performance.

The ZX130-6 benefits from the same advanced technology as larger Hitachi models. It also shares the same high-quality engineering and durable components, and offers outstanding levels of reliability. It is an exceptionally versatile machine suitable for a wide range of applications.

The new Zaxis-6 model incorporates more than 200 redesigned features and improved components. For example, it has a wide-opening engine cover allowing quick access for easy maintenance, and the main fuel filter is easy to replace. The expansion tank is mounted on top of the engine’s cooling system to prevent engine parts from overheating.

Wear-resistant components include the upper roller bushing and aluminium parts of the cooling system to prevent corrosion. Covers on the platform walkway have been reinforced to provide a safe working environment.

Designed to offer a superior performance, the ZX130-6 is built with high-quality components and materials. Inside the cab, the console is made of durable AES-grade resin to prevent damage from ultraviolet rays, and the ergonomic controls and advanced music system contribute to the ultimate working environment.

The ZX130-6 uses proven technology of larger Hitachi models. This includes the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system that injects urea into exhaust gas to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions. The new medium excavator also features the HIOS IV hydraulic system, which reduces total hydraulic loss and helps to lower fuel consumption by 7% (in PWR mode) with the same levels of productivity as the previous model.

A popular choice for a wide range of construction applications, the ZX130-6 is incredibly versatile. It delivers an enhanced level of excavating performance and lifting power thanks to the power-boost feature. Attachments are easy to fit and replace thanks to the attachment support system and optional pilot accumulator. The optional auxiliary function lever allows for greater control and precision.

“The ZX130-6 has been designed to be a user-friendly and versatile machine,” says Burkhard Janssen, General Manager Product Management & Engineering at HCME. “Available with a variety of options, it is suitable for a wide range of applications and can be made to meet your exact requirements.”
