Hitachi has fine-tuned its ZW150-6 which aims to better satisfy the needs of operators and their demands for greater versatility and a Stage IV-compliant engine which aims to reduce fuel consumption and running costs.
The ZW150-6 can be applied to a range of projects including general and road construction and industrial application. It is available with optional extras for waste handling and agriculture, such as a radiator dust protection screen, anti-clogging radiators, front windscreen guard and pressurised filtration system, which provide added protection for the operator in dusty environments.
ZW150-6’s traction control system helps to avoid tyre slippage when operating in snowy, slippery or muddy conditions and is said to prevent wear and fuel wastage, and lowers running costs. Several tyres are also available for the ZW150-6, according to the needs of the operator.
Three types of lift arm – standard, high lift and parallel lift – provide even greater flexibility. The parallel lift arm ensures effective handling with less tilting variation of the attachment. Ideal for pallet forks, it offers increased load control and better visibility of the attachment than the standard lift arm.
The hydrostatic transmission consists of one pump and two motors, designed to enable precise movements at low speeds and improve productivity and efficiency. In addition, the first speed dial and creep mode switches further optimize its usage with hydraulic attachments on different job sites.
Additionally, the after-treatment device is designed with the intention of reducing emissions as well as noise levels. It consists a diesel oxidation catalyst, urea mixing pipe, selective catalyst reduction (SCR) system and silencer. The SCR system injects urea into exhaust gas to reduce nitrogen oxide.
ZW150-6’s cab is designed to make work more comfortable and safe for operators with increased visibility, improved sound insulation and user-friendly features. The rear-view camera and wide-view mirrors, curved engine hood, and repositioned exhaust pipe and air intake provide a better view of the operator’s surroundings.
