Learn moreThe new Hitachi ZW-7 wheel loaders have arrived
CablePrice has introduced 6 new models of Hitachi ZW-7-wheel loaders from ZW140-7 (2.0m3 bucket) to ZW310-7 (4.5m3 bucket) to the New Zealand market. The new models have been the result of years of dedicated research and development that have led to a machine range that is ready for the future says Murray Wilkinson, Product Manager – Hitachi Excavators & Wheel Loaders.
Whether you are in and out of stockpiles in a quarry all day, in tight confined spaces on a construction site or handling logs, advances to operability, comfort and visibility make it one of the safest wheel loaders in the New Zealand market.
270-degree bird’s-eye view
"You’re in control with Hitachi ZW-7 "
Feel the difference
The new fully redesigned, spacious cab with additional sound absorption significantly reduces noise and vibration levels in the operator’s station. The air suspension seat and right hand console with electric pilot control levers move in synch to not only improve control but also greatly reduce fatigue. The shape, size and grip of the pilot control levers have been enhanced for ease of use and the fully adjustable armrests have been upsized by 40%. The pressurised cabin keeps the dust out, along with roof handrails and steps to help the operator clean the external cab windows safely.
“Hitachi have thought of everything, even the operator pedal angle has been adjusted to a more natural position to ensure optimum comfort” Murray says.
All models include several new safety features such as the Aerial Angle 270-degree bird’s eye camera system which gives an exceptional aerial view of the job site. In addition, a rear obstacle detection system is fitted to provide an audible warning to alert the operator from risks of rear collision, which includes braking assist on the ZW140-7 and ZW160-7 models. Premium LED work lights allow the operator to work more confidently and productively in poor lighting conditions.
Improve profit and maximise uptime
There are also a whole host of features to help operators of any experience level maximise their productivity. These include the new Hitachi Payload Checker system which assists operators to fill trucks to their optimum level more accurately. A ‘soft stop’ feature slows down the cylinder stroke at the end of its travel, so there’s no sudden shuddering and pitching to protect the machine and the operator’s comfort.
Another new standard feature throughout the range is Approach Speed Control which is great for short loading cycles. The operator can set a maximum speed, depending on the distance they need to travel. This controlled speed can also transfer more power to the hydraulics at the front for lifting.
The major benefit for this feature includes reduced axle thermal load, reduced brake wear and reduced operator fatigue.
Total control and support
Careful consideration has also been given to the type of job and material being handled and the operator’s skill or preference. For more control with heavier loads, you can slow down the speed of the front attachment, then speed it up with lighter material to improve productivity. These adjustments are all accessible from inside the cab. These adjustments also allow newer operators to build their confidence, reducing the risk of damage to machinery, hoppers, or trucks, along with creating an overall safer working environment.
Specific visual plain English alerts provide detailed guidance for any function settings or warning messages, allowing operators to maintain focus on their task, and rectify any issues more easily. For example, if you are low on a particular fluid, the system will display this on the sub monitor,
‘hydraulic oil is low, please refill’, rather than just a sound or flashing light.
Fleet management!
The system also provides daily inspection reminders on the cabin’s high-resolution monitor, just another feature to help the operator maintain focus on their work and maximise productivity. Hitachi’s telematics system Owner’s Site and ConSite allows the operator to receive reports and alerts via an App (Consite Pocket) on their phone, providing added peace of mind for both operators and fleet managers alike.
“All of these features help ensure productivity is maximised. Although better productivity is not worth much if the operator does not enjoy the experience of being in the cabin every day. This is where the ZW-7 Loaders really shine. A spacious ergonomically designed cabin, packed with creature comforts to ensure the operator has better concentration, enjoys every shift, ending the day less fatigued and with a smile on their face” says Murray.

𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗥𝗼𝗻 & 𝗕𝗲𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗧𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻 𝗟𝗼𝗴𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 for taking the first Tigercat 632H Log Skidder sold by CablePrice Ltd.
This is Thomassen Loggings 3rd H-Series Log Skidder although the previous 2 machines were 6 Wheelers. They previously have run Tigercat 632E Log Skidders also, so it was a no brainer to stick with what was proven.
The Tigercat Skidders are built for high production and leads the market with best-in-class features, including factory-installed tethering points and exceptional cab visibility with a 220 degrees rotating heated Seat. Operator Fonuku Lona was especially impressed by the added comfort features — with cruise control making a real difference on long drags.
