Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. is set to launch its new ZAXIS-7G series hydraulic excavators in Southeast Asia.
The company has announced that it will start accepting orders for four models in this series – the ZX350-7G, ZX490-7G, ZX690-7G, and ZX890-7G – beginning late February 2024, initially in Thailand, followed by other Southeast Asian countries including Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Myanmar.
The ZAXIS-7G series, which has already gained popularity in the European, Japanese, and North American markets, is now being introduced to meet the increasing demand for high-quality construction equipment in Southeast Asia. These new models are expected to be in high demand for various applications such as urban civil engineering, large-scale public works, quarrying, and mining.
Key Features of the ZAXIS-7G Series
- Enhanced Fuel Efficiency and Reduced Running Costs: The ZAXIS-7G series boasts improvements in hydraulic efficiency, notably in the ZX350-7G, and features the latest HIOS-V hydraulic system in the ZX490-7G, ZX690-7G, and ZX890-7G models. These advancements contribute to significant fuel consumption reduction, allowing for more fuel-efficient operations and lower life cycle costs. The series also includes an ECO gauge on the cab monitor to aid in optimizing fuel usage.
- “ConSite Air” Remote Monitoring and Software Updates: A standout feature of the ZAXIS-7G series is the “ConSite Air” service solution, which allows for remote machine condition diagnosis and software updates via over-the-air communication. This technology enables efficient preliminary judgments about the machine’s condition, leading to faster recovery and improved operator support. Remote software updates for the hydraulic excavator’s controller and communication terminal greatly enhance update process efficiency.
- Improved Safety with Advanced Technology: Safety is a top priority in the ZAXIS-7G series. The “AERIAL ANGLE” peripheral vision system offers a 270-degree bird’s-eye view of the machine’s surroundings, along with a rear-view image, enhancing situational awareness. Operators can customize camera views and display settings to suit their preferences and work types. Additionally, new handrails on the machine body enhance safety during inspection and maintenance procedures.
Hitachi Construction Machinery is committed to addressing customer needs by enhancing safety, boosting productivity, and reducing life cycle costs with its innovative ZAXIS-7G series. The launch of these excavators in Southeast Asia marks a significant step forward in the region’s construction industry, promising to deliver state-of-the-art technology and unparalleled performance.
