Interview with Designers of the Mid-Size Excavators
The "Made by HITACHI" global quality standard, produced at the "Mother Design Factory" in Japan.
ZAXIS70
A Solid Base for a Long Life
HITACHI's technology is built on a wealth of experience and know-how from a variety of demanding conditions around the world. The undercarriage of the ZAXIS 70 has become much stronger.
Strengthened Upperstructure Frame
The new ZAXIS excavator now has a D-section frame skirt, which was highly acclaimed in previous models. As a result of this D-section frame skirt, rigidity and durability in the upper machinery are greatly improved. Strengthed boom foot mounting bracket, vertical plates are increased in thickness by 16 % for higher durability of the boom foot.
Strengthened X beam
One-piece upper and lower plates are utilized instead of conventional 4-piece plates, eliminating welds. This increases strength of the track frame.
Strengthened front attachment
At arm-bucket joint, the arm top is hardened with WC thermal spraying (Tungsten-Carbide) for greater wear resistance at its contact surface with bucket, reducing jerking. Reinforced resin thrust plates designed to reduce noise and resist wear.
