Hitachi Mid Excavator

The ZX270-3 provides a solid base with superior balance and track power for efficient and productive day-long operation. Quick slew speed combined with smooth boom and arm movements makes operating the ZX270-3 series from the air conditioned, ergonomically designed cabin a pleasure. It also provides reduced emissions with improved productivity and significantly improved serviceability for a win-win situation for the owner.

Boosted Productivity
The new hydraulic system, HIOS III, and new OHC** 4-valve diesel engine powering the ZX270-3 were developed specifically for Hitachi’s ZAXIS-3 line up of excavators. These advanced technologies are at work to yield bigger output with higher fuel efficiency.

A New Standard in Operator Comfort
The operator's seat of the ZAXIS-3 series gives the operator an excellent view of the jobsite. On the widescreen colour LCD monitor the operator can see what is behind the machine through the rear-mounted camera, as well as machine performance, vital statistics and fault diagnostics. Ample leg room, short stroke levers and a large comfortable seat ensure optimum working conditions for the operator during long hours. The ZAXIS-3 range of Hitachi excavators also include a theft deterrent security system.

A Solid Base for a Long Life
Hitachi’s technology is built on a wealth of experience and know-how from limestone sites and quarries around the world. The undercarriage of the ZX270-3 has become much stronger. Improved construction and enlarged box sections, a track undercover plate that protects the centre joint and hydraulic hoses make this machine more durable.

The ZX270-3 comes in standard or long crawler (LC) specifications.
