Hitachi wheel loader

The upgraded ZW100-6 wheel loader from Hitachi Construction Machinery Loaders America (HCMA), Newnan, Ga., features an operating weight of 17,042 lbs., and a 101-hp Tier 4 engine. The cab has 360-degree visibility, ride control and onboard technology to enhance operator comfort and increase productivity with quick and efficient cycle times, the company says. The machine offers a hydrostatic transmission control system. The operator can choose between two work modes according to the task and terrain.

The oscillating rear axle on the machine is designed to give it more stability and traction, especially on uneven ground. The machine includes wide, easy-to-open engine covers for convenient access to all of the machine’s components. The new model comes with Global e-Service, which allows equipment owners to monitor the wheel loader remotely via Owner’s Site and ConSite, Hitachi’s full data tool kit with a suite of apps for managing loader performance and productivity. The ZW-6 wheel loader lineup includes 15 models.
