Hitachi Construction Machinery Global

HITACHI takes its responsibility when it comes to the environment.
Our production facilities have ISO 14001 certification.
The HITACHI machine is lead free and has a low-noise design, therefore HITACHI customers get one of the most environmentally considerate hydraulic excavators available today.

The ZAXIS-3 series is equipped with a clean but powerful engine to comply with Tier 3, and Stage III A. An engine emission regulations effective in the U.S. EPA and European Union from 2006. Reduced particulate matter (PM) output and lower nitrogen oxide (NOx) levels.

A number of features make this machine quieter. First, isochronous control of the engine speed means a restriction of engine speed during no-load and light-duty operation to suppress sound. Second, a fan with curved blades reduces air resistance and air flow noise. Third, a time-tested muffler suppresses engine noise significantly.
This advanced low noise design complies with the 2000 / 14 / EC, Stage II, directive effective in the European Union from 2006.

Over 97% of the ZAXIS-3 series can be recycled. All resin parts are marked to facilitate recycling. The machine is completely lead-free. The radiator and oil cooler are made from aluminium and all wires are lead-less. In addition, biodegradable hydraulic oil is available for jobsites where special environmental care is required.
