| New Zaxis 350LC-3 excavator  Hitachi Construction Machinery introduces the Zaxis 350LC-3 excavator. The Zaxis 350LC-3 weighs 77,269 lb. and comes standard with a 13' 1" arm, a 16,314-lb. counterweight, and 32" triple semi-grouser shoes. Powering the 350LC-3 is Isuzu's new AH-6HK1YSA-01 Tier-III-certified engine. The engine achieves its improved fuel efficiency and greater output through a common-rail fuel-injection system and the cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation system. The P Mode increases production; the new E mode can reduce fuel consumption. The new excavator also has Hitachi's new and improved HIOS III hydraulic system, formulated to specifically match the Isuzu's torque curve.The CRES II cab has a wider, more comfortable seatback, more foot room, and 47% more glass on the right side for excellent visibility. Pedals have been reshaped for easier use. The new color LCD multifunction monitor is multilingual. From the seat, the operator can make simple oil flow adjustments for attachments, monitor 32 items and track maintenance for 14 items. Short-throw, low-effort levers result in easy fingertip control. Dash-3 improvements also extend to the stronger undercarriage and strengthened upper structure. Track links are now thicker and three track guards are now provided to protect the track links from disengagement during steering. The track chain is sealed and lubricated. The upper structure continues with Hitachi's signature D-section frame skirt to increase rigidity. At the arm-bucket joint, the arm top is hardened with tungsten-carbide thermal spraying for greater wear resistance at its contact surface with the bucket. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
