Hitachi Construction Machinery (Europe) says the machine is an illustration of how its is meeting the growing need for emission-free equipment, while strengthening its commitment to a sustainable future.
As well as zero exhaust emissions, the first Hitachi Construction Machinery-branded model in this class delivers lower noise levels, enhanced efficiency, exceptional performance in confined spaces, and fewer maintenance requirements and less downtime than conventional models.
The new ZX55U-6EB operates with exceptional manoeuvrability in confined spaces, as it has inherited the short tail swing of the diesel-powered ZX55U-6 model. It is also said to provide equally high levels of performance. Customers can work on various projects with the ZX55U-6EB, including urban construction sites, residential buildings and waste material handling projects – wherever the environment is a priority. Customers can choose between battery-powered operation, using 39kWh lithium-ion batteries, and wired operation, which allows the machine to work while charging from a CEE 400VAC 3-phase power source.
