Safety Features
Ensuring the safety of the operator and other workers on the jobsite is an important concern for HITACHI. That is why the ZAXIS-3 series has a number of safety features including a new reinforced cab and shut-off mechanisms for engine and pilot controls.
CRES II cab
The CRES II cab is designed to help with gjust in caseh protection for the operator. Safety in case of tipping is improved. This structure conforms to ROPS specifications (ISO 12117-2), which stipulate the structure that protects the operator in the event of a hydraulic excavator roll-over. The cab top, for instance, can withstand about 1.4 times conventional load when side load is applied to the cab top until its deformation reaches 200 mm.
