3. Hitachi Construction Machinery ZX210LC-6 HP excavator
Hitachi Construction Machinery introduces its line of excavators to the Americas with the ZX210LC-6 HP excavator. A high-power HP Mode increases engine speed and hydraulic pump output torque when extra speed and/or heavy-duty work is required. The front attachment moves faster because each actuator has its own pump. The oil flows separately to the bucket, arm and boom cylinders. Three pumps supply an optimal amount of pressurized oil to each actuator. The pumps are controlled electrically for precise oil flow for sensitive front attachment control and lower fuel consumption. The TRIAS II technology minimizes hydraulic system losses by reducing the hydraulic oil returned to the tank. Two extra spools in the control valve make it easier to install attachments that require large volumes of oil for multiple functions and on models that have two-piece booms. 866-973-0394; hitachicm.us
