Hitachi ZX135W-7 at Intermat

Hitachi Construction Machinery (Europe) NV (HCME) will exhibit the ZX135W-7 wheeled excavator during Intermat in Paris on April 24th to 27th. Designed to meet the needs of contractors seeking greater versatility on the job site, the short-tail model has a compact 360-degree swing radius (1,740mm to the rear and 1,750mm at the front) making it ideal for confined areas, says Hitachi.

The HIOS V hydraulic system is said to increase front speed and delivers up to 7% less fuel consumption than the previous Zaxis-6 range. The ZX135W-7 has the same engine as the larger ZX155W-7 model, ensuring a good performance.

Attachments can be transported with the optional trailer support package, and they are easily changed using the enhanced attachment support system. The new model can also be fine-tuned to suit the operator’s preference and job site requirements – for optimum productivity, while reducing fuel consumption.

Further highlighting its versatility, the ZX135W-7 at Intermat is installed with a Rototilt quick coupler and tilt-rotator bucket. In addition, its factory-fitted machine control system from Trimble is one of many innovative solutions to be presented on the Hitachi stand. Like all of the Hitachi models on display, the ZX135W-7 is available through Hitachi Premium Rental and can be purchased using Zaxis Finance – both initiatives will also be promoted at the Intermat exhibition.

Feel the difference
The spacious cab of the ZX135W-7 features a seat and console with synchronised motion. The new ergonomic design of the console and switches, convenient access to controls, added functionality to the easy-to-view screen and joysticks, and the auto working brake all enhance ease of use.

Visibility from the cab is boosted by the Aerial Angle camera system, which provides a 270-degree bird’s-eye view of the surroundings. The operator’s vision through the cab’s front window is also improved by the slim steering column (with wider adjustment angle) and smaller steering wheel.

To enable operators to work more confidently and productively, even in challenging conditions, the Zaxis-7 wheeled excavator is fitted with new features such as LED work lights, a windscreen wiper with an increased sweeping area, and larger mirrors. For additional safety, the upper structure and front attachment will lock in place when the machine is in the correct position, for driving on public roads.

The sustainable construction solutions and technology exhibition is held at Paris-Nord Villepinte and the HCME stand is number 6H039.
