Hitachi Construction Products will roll out two new excavators at ConExpo 2008, as well as showcase the company’s ZXLink telematics machine monitoring system.
Hitachi will display the new reduced-tail-swing Zaxis 135US-3 and the Zaxis 220W-3 wheeled excavator equipped with a wrist attachment. In addition to these new models, there will be a Zaxis 350LC-3 and the 84-metric-ton Zaxis 850LC-3 equipped with ZXLink.
The ZX135US-3 replaces the 135US and incorporates Tier-3 emissions standards. It comes with the CRES II cab, which is larger than before and has a wider seatback, more leg room and more glass on the right hand side for improved visibility, according to the manufacturer.
The ZX220W-3 is also Tier-3 compliant and comes with wheels, not tracks. Mobile and maneuverable, it is designed to quickly move from spot to spot and is pavement-friendly, according to Hitachi.
Hitachi’s ZX850LC-3 will be equipped with the Ultimate version of the company’s ZXLink telematics machine monitoring system. Available in three levels—Standard, Advanced and Ultimate—the Ultimate version comes standard on the Dash-3 Zaxis 450, 650 and 850 excavators, with three years of service included in the price of the machine, when purchased from an authorized Hitachi dealer.
ConExpo will be March 11-15, 2008, at the Las Vegas Convention Center. More information about the event is available at www.conexpoconagg.com and more information about Hitachi is available at www.hitachiconstruction.com.
