More Production with
Less Fuel

8% Reduction in Fuel Consumption

New ZAXIS is a fuel-thrifty excavator that can reduce
fuel consumption by 8%*, compared to the conventional
ZX240-3/ZX240
system and engine control system, thereby reducing CO2
emissions.

*6%, compared to the Z X240/ ZX240

family, thanks to the HIOS III hydraulic

-3F

.

-3G

More Fuel Reduction in the ECO mode

The ECO mode, a new economical mode, can further cut
fuel consumption by 10% compared to the PWR mode,
without sacrificing digging speed by optimal matching of
operations.

Swift Front Movements with HIOS* III Hydraulics

Operating speed increases with less fuel consumption
thanks to the HIOS III hydraulic system, developed by
industry-leading hydraulic technologies and a wealth of
experience. Actuators work quickly by boom weight, without
needing a regenerative circuit and pressure oil.

*Human & Intellige nt Operation Syste m

Rapid Arm Roll-in

Arm roll-in speed increases by combined flow from arm and
boom cylinders through regenerative valves for productive
excavation.

Powerful Lifting Operation

The Auto Power Lift mode, which automatically surge lifting
force by 10% when needed, allows for powerful lifting of
buried concrete pipes or sheathing sheets.

Boosted Swing Torque

Allows for powerful wall cutting with the bucket, and smooth
swing operation on slope.

Enhanced Power Boost

The Power Boost mode allows the operator to surge 10%
more digging force for powerful excavation by pressing its
button on the control lever.

Fast Arm Speed During Boom Lowering

Arm speed increases by boom weight during boom lowering,
without needing pressure oil from a pump. That is, arm circuit
flow is increased for higher arm speed, allowing for quick
loading of a dump truck and positioning of the front.

Pursuits of Performance and
Durability

The boom top and foot are reinforced with
thickened high-tensile steel brackets, which
incorporate steel bushings to enhance
durability. Arm cylinder and boom cylinders
(rod extend ends) cushion shocks at stroke
ends to cut noise and extend service life.

Joint pins at the front attachment are tightly
fi t to reduce jolt and sound. The arm-bucket
joint is protected by WC thermal spraying
on its contact surfaces to reduce wear and
jolt. New-type HN bushings, utilized on joint
pins, retain grease inside for longer greasing
intervals. A reinforced resin thrust plate,
mounted on the bucket pin, helps reduce
wearing noise.

Rock-Solid, Durable Front Attachment

The X-beam frame is made monolithically
with fewer welds for higher rigidity and
durability.
Track adjusters absorb impacts to crawlers.
Front idlers and adjuster cylinders are
integrated to increase durability.
Idler brackets and travel motor brackets are
both thickened for added durability.

Strengthened Undercarriage

Th e uppers tructure f rame is rei nfo rced
with the proven D-section skirt to increase
rigidity against damage by obstacles.
The door catch is improved to shut the door
tightly, reducing door rattling.

Proven Upperstructure

Prestige R&D and Quality Control

Hitachi has earned praise for technological prowess and product performance around the world.
R&D Division has a track record – including excellent design,
stress analysis expertise using CAE system, and abundant
production data base. What’s more, a large-scale durability
test fi eld (427 hm2) allows for a series of stringent testing of
new machines.
Production Division strives to automatize production
processes, including robotic welding, machining, painting,
assembling and transferring.

This engine has a track record showing
impressive durability at countless tough job
sites around the world.
The engine — associated with a rugged
design, a direct fuel injection system and
an elaborate governor — goes green, and
complies with EU Stage II and US EPA Tier
2 emissions regulations.

The cooling system well keeps the engine
cool. The engine cover has a wider air
suction area, and radiators are arranged
in parallel for effi cient cooling. This parallel
arrangement also facilitates their cleaning.

The ample-capacity intercooler and
turbocharger help yield a whopping 132 kW
(177 HP) output for higher production in
shorter job schedule.

No Compromise on Operator
Comfort

Comfortable Operating Environment

You'll feel comfortable and confident, with
plenty of leg space and excellent visibility
when operating the cab. The new compact
console gives more leg space. The new
door pillar is shifted rearward by 70 mm
to widen an entry space for easy access.
A new LED room light, interlocked with the
door, turns on when the door opens. The
front window is easily removed and stored
overhead using slide rails. The overhead
window is openable for ventilation.
Ample air conditioner vents are located
strategically for uniform air circulation inside
the cab. The control panel and control
levers are arranged within easy reach of
the operator. AM/FM radio and AUX port
(optional) for a mobile music player are
available for a long work day with less
fatigue. All these designs focus on operator
comfort.

Comfort-Designed Operator Seat

The luxury cloth seat is fitted with a
headrest and arm rests for operator
comfort. The seat can be adjusted in
multiple ways, sliding and reclining, to suit
operator’s size and preferences. The seat
can slide rearward by 40 mm more for
added leg space. An air suspension with a
heat pad is optional.

Robust Cab

The robust cab, meeting the OPG (Top
Guard Level 1), protects the operator from
falling objects. The pilot control shut-off
lever is provided with a neutral engine start
system that permits engine starting only
when the pilot control shut-off lever is in
Lock position.

Control panel

New, Easy-to-Use Multifunction Monitor

The new multi-language, multifunction
monitoring system comprises a 7-inch high­resolution color monitor and a multifunction
controller. The monitor allows the operator to
check varying operating variables: hydraulic oil
temperature, fuel level, work mode, full-auto air
conditioner, AM/FM radio, rear view monitor
camera (optional), maintenance support, and
attachment flow adjustment. Menu items can
be selected and adjusted by a multifunction
controller on the control panel. A new rear view
monitor camera always displays the view behind
the machine.

Simplified Maintenance

Dust-Proof Indoor Net

A dust-proof indoor net, provided at the
front of radiator, can be easily removed and
cleaned with compressed air. At the rear of
the radiator, air blowing can be done through
a one-touch open cover. The air condenser
is openable for easy cleaning at its rear.

Grouped Remote Inspection Points

Service points are concentrated inside left
and right covers that are readily accessible
from ground level for convenient servicing
and inspection, including water draining
from the fuel tank, replenishment of coolant,
and replacement of filters. The fuel tank is
anti-corrosion coated on its inside, and has
a large cleaning port at the bottom. These
wise designs effectively keep fuel clean, and
ease servicing. Handrails are provided at
convenient locations for easy riding on the
upperstructure. Plenty slip-resistant plates
are located for safe maintenance.

Attractive, Robust Body

Side frame tops of the undercarriage are
sloped to let muck slide away. Track adjuster
greasing ports are repositioned for easier
lubrication, and well protected from muck
packing.

flow, and check settings from the multifunctional monitor
next to the operator seat. What’s more, 11 jobs, including
flow rate setting, can easily be selected by their identified
names.

Easy-to-Operate Breaker

When using a breaker that requires frequent change
of hydraulic oil and filters, an extra hour meter on the
multifunctional monitor displays operating hours of the
breaker, suggesting adequate replacement timing of oil and
filters. The Breaker Alarm (optional) displays an alert mark
on the monitor screen, and sounds when the breaker works
continuously over one minute.

Notes: 1. Ratings are based on ISO 10567.

2. Lifting capacity does not exceed 75% of tipping load with the machine on firm,
level ground or 87% full hydraulic capacity.

3. The load point is the center-line of the bucket pivot mounting pin on the arm.

4. *Indicates load limited by hydraulic capacity.

5. 0 m = Ground.

For lifting capacities, subtract bucket and quick hitch weight from lifting capacities without bucket.
