Hitachi has introduced a powerful utility-class ZX200LC-3 excavators to its line of larger excavators. The Zaxis 200LC-3 has a four-cylinder Tier-3-certified Isuzu engine, which provides significant power for high-production applications. Heavier, stronger, faster, and quieter than its six-cylinder predecessor, the ZX200LC-3 is also more fuel efficient. New E, P, and H/P modes can be selected to suit job needs. The E mode can save fuel consumption up to 13 percent compared to the previous model.
The cab is prepped for auxiliary hydraulics. Other options include several arm and shoe sizes, super-long fronts, control pattern change valve, and auxiliary hydraulic accessories. Other key features include a stronger undercarriage, X-beam, side frames, idler brackets, and front attachment — all designed to further enhance durability. The new ZX200LC-3 has greater horsepower, swing torque, and drawbar pull than ever. The CRES II cab is larger and comes with a wider seatback, more legroom, and 47-percent more glass on the right-hand side for improved visibility. Low-effort, short-throw levers are easy to use. This fingertip control also reduces operator fatigue. The multilingual widescreen LCD color monitor provides maintenance, attachment, and operational information. An optional air-suspension heated seat is also available.
