2 IMPROVEMENTS The wheels of progress are always turning at Hitachi. Our latest Dash-3 wheeled excavators are packed with improvements designed to provide more efficient power, greater productivity, more comfortable cab environment, and reduced operating expenses. Mobile and maneuverable, our wheeled excavators can quickly cruise from spot to spot under their own power and are more pavement friendly. Wider axles result in increased stability fo the ZX220W-3; the short wheelbase of the ZX190W-3 is perfect in tight quarters. BETTER PERFORMANCE We’ve taken advantage of the need to meet Tier-3 engine...

3 PRODUCTIVE HYDRAULICS: Dash-3 hydraulics are smarter and more responsive to bucket resistance. Movements are steady and sure. Regenerative flow on key cylinders means faster down movements, extremely fine control, and multitasking. EASY DRIVABILITY: A wider axle-oscillation angle handles rough terrain and newly developed tires lower noise and vibration for superior travel stability. The 190W-3’s short wheelbase with its short swing radius is perfect in close quarters. IMPROVED CAB: Bigger, quieter, more accessible with better legroom and more visibility — what’s not to love? A large multilingual...

IMPROVED HYDRAULICS FOR MORE PRODUCTION Controllability has always been a Hitachi hallmark. Now, with the HIOS III hydraulic system, any job feels like less work. The hydraulic boosting system helps get it done using regenerative hydraulics. And what’s really impressive is that HIOS III takes advantage of the increase in hydraulic performance and engine horsepower without sacrificing our characteristic smoothness and multifunction capabilities. Engine performance and hydraulic flow are perfectly balanced for fast, smooth, and precise operations. Low-flow assist hydraulics come standard — perfect...

HAVE WHEELS, WILL TRAVEL Uneven terrain doesn’t intimidate our wheeled excavators. We’ve increased the oscillation angle by 16 percent over previous models. This improved surface-holding performance on rough roads results in more stable driving and safer operations. We’ve also integrated the transmission with the rear axle and installed it in an upper position for more efficient power transfer and better ground clearance. Our wheeled models sport fancy yet practical black footwear — new tires developed in cooperation with Bridgestone. The tires feature an improved tread pattern and cross-section...

IMPROVED EFFICIENCY The new engine increases airflow to the cylinders to boost combustion efficiency. Use of the common-rail-type fuelinjection system means fuel-injection pressure, timing, and volume can be precisely regulated by electronic control for efficient combustion. Isuzu also has the industry’s first cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system, which lets part of the exhaust gas mix with suction air for recombustion. An isochronous-controlled electronic governor maintains a constant speed despite changes in engine load, reducing fuel consumption and noise in no-load and light-duty...

E n g i n e L O W E R F U E L C O N S U M P T I O N , M O R E T O R Q U E DASH-3 EXCLUSIVE ISUZU TIER-3-CERTIFIED ENGINE With fuel prices on the rise, fuelefficient equipment is a must. Hitachi excavators, with their fuel-thrifty Isuzu engines, have traditionally been the most fuel-efficient option on the market. The all-new and improved Isuzu Tier-3-certified engines are super powerful, compact, and more fuel efficient than ever. Isuzu Tier-3-certified engines for Hitachi excavators are a new design — they’re better, and they simply operate cleaner. How? The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system...

I M P R O V E D O P E R A T O R C O N T R O L , M O S T C O M F O R T A B L E I N I T S C L A S S C a b 8 LARGER Operators, rejoice! The CRES II cab is larger, has more foot room, and comes with a wider, more comfortable seat. There is more visibility to the front and 47-percent more glass to the right. The right downward view and the rear view are improved as well. Fully automatic air conditioning is standard. And the machine is quieter inside and out, thanks to a low-noise-design suppression muffler, a high-efficiency cooling fan with curved blades to reduce air resistance and air flow, a new...

CONTROLS Short-throw levers mean fingertip control with less effort. Independently mounted armrests keep them always in the right position. Joystick controllers are pre-fitted for auxiliary lines, so it’s easy and inexpensive to add auxiliary hydraulics. The smooth two-speed transmission only shifts within certain travelspeed parameters — protecting both operator and drivetrain. Three engine modes and one work mode makes it easy to be productive. And there are several customizable levers and switches, enabling the operator to be as ergonomically efficient as possible. MONITOR SYSTEM An all-new...

10 Behind every Zaxis we build is the mining legacy of Hitachi. Ask anybody in the mining industry and they’ll tell you Hitachi leads the field for high production, high uptime, and low operating costs. We put that same engineering expertise into every Zaxis we make. BUILT RIGHT From our ultra-dependable, fuelsipping Isuzu diesel engine to our rugged D-channel side frames, the 190W-3 and 220W-3 are built tough for unsurpassed reliability. The chassis has been redesigned, strengthening the frame. New HN bushings containing HITASOL (solid molybdenum-based lubricant) to enhance durability and extend...

A DEALER FOR THE LONG HAUL Hitachi excavators are world-class — so are our dealers. That’s why a dealership must meet a number of exacting requirements in customer satisfaction, service, and tech support before it can carry the Hitachi line. STRONG SUPPORT Parts play an integral role in maintaining productivity and value. Non-emergency parts are stored in two national parts centers. Eleven field depots warehouse thousands of parts classified as “critical” — those parts needed to maintain and keep machines running. Hitachi also offers remanufactured hydraulic and cylinder components that equal...
