Ease of Operation
HI-TECH ROPS/FOPS CAB
The new HI-TECH ROPS/FOPS cab has been newly equipped with a Hitachi controller and a large centrally mounted, color Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) as used in Hitachi large sized excavators. Double wall construction of 11 gauge inner and outer steel panels produces a more structurally sound cab. A threepoint rubber ISO-mount arrangement minimizes vibration to the operator compartment.
Note: Shown is the machine with the door open.
Superior Suspension
The Hitachi trailing arm suspension system delivers excellent maneuverability, even at higher speeds. The trailing arm layout offers greater ease of servicing while improving truck performance compared to suspended kingpin designs. The pivot mounting of the trailing arm design allows only axial input to the strut and allows wheel movement to the vertical plane only.
Features:
- Lateral forces that act on the front wheels are minimized, resulting in reduced tire scuffing.
- Dynamic friction (side-wall force) within the strut is low due to the features of the trailing arm suspension design, allowing the use of a lighter strut engineered to a smaller diameter and longer stroke.
- The necessary frame bulk (horsecollar structure) needed to mount a suspended king-pin is non-existent.
- The elimination of the "horse-collar" member provides greater engine access.
- The NEOCON strut used with the trailing arm suspension, improves operator and component isolation, provides better hauler stability and predictable operational control.
- Locating the king-pin close to thewheel assembly and at a slight angle results in low "Dry Park Steering" effort.
- Development of the compressible media, NEOCON- E (TM) fluid (proprietary, silicone based, environmentally friendly) for use in the suspension strut with Helium gas, results in an improved energy absorption (isolation) system and an improved energy release (stability) system that responds favorably whether traveling empty or loaded in a wide range of ambient temperatures.
The trailing arm suspension design allows the front struts to be removed and installed without removing the front brakes or tires. This means fewer tools and less labor time are required, resulting in less downtime and higher productivity.
THE FAST FILLING SYSTEM
The fast filling system, provided standard on the left side of the radiator, allows direct access at ground level for fast feeding of coolant, grease, hydraulic oil and engine oil. (Couplers are optional.)
