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 "just in case" protection for the operator.
Safety in case of tipping is improved. The cab top, for instance, can withstand about 2.5 times conventional load when side load is applied to the cab top until its deformation reaches 200 mm.
Withstanding load : 2.5-fold increase
Additional Features
Other features include a retractable seatbelt, evacuation hammer and emergency engine shut-off switch. A shut-off lever for pilot control helps to prevent unintentional movements. In addition an Operator Protective Guard (OPG top guard, Level II ) is optionally available. For the cab windows there is a choice of laminated or tempered glass.
