ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY Several new features on the ZW-5 wheel loader range highlight the developments Hitachi has made in advanced technology. Such advancements have enabled it to manufacture high-quality machines capable of boosting productivity levels on the job site, with significantly lower levels of fuel consumption. This brings the benefits of reduced running costs and a smaller impact on the environment compared to the previous model, but without compromising on efficiency.

A superior performance is guaranteed 1 Simple work mode  Quick power switch  The new ZW-5 wheel loader can operate in two modes to ensure lower fuel consumption and maximise productivity: Standard mode is for regular duties such as loading materials; and P mode is chosen for more demanding tasks such as heavy duty digging. The operator can boost the power of the ZW-5 wheel loader at the push of a button. The Quick power switch changes the mode from Standard to P and can be used when the machine is travelling uphill with a full load or when greater breakout force is required. In Standard mode,...

Environmental awareness Designed to have a reduced impact on the environment as well as a positive effect on the quarry or construction site, the new Hitachi ZW550-5 wheel loader has a powerful yet fuel-efficient Stage IIIB-compliant engine. It delivers an impressive digging performance, quick travel speeds and a reduction in fuel consumption of more than 20%. The new ZW-5 range has also been designed to contribute to better safety levels on the job site, with enhanced all-round visibility from the operator’s seat.

The ZW550-5 contributes to a cleaner, safer environment The new ZW-5 wheel loader range epitomises our efforts to minimise the impact of construction machinery on the environment in compliance with EU emission control stage IIIB. The operator of the ZW-5 can relax with the knowledge that he is working in a safer environment. The new wheel loader offers excellent visibility from all angles. The view from the cab is enhanced by a pillar-less windshield, a large sun visor and additional glass panels in the door. The ZW-5 has been fitted with a muffler filter to capture air pollutants, which is automatically...

Productivity Productivity is a key factor in the design of the new ZW-5 wheel loader range because it has a direct impact on the profitability of your business. Hitachi engineers have incorporated the latest hydraulics and gearshift systems into the new ZW550-5 to increase productivity levels in quarries and on large-scale construction projects. They have also made the wheel loader easier to manoeuvre than the previous model, so it is extremely quick and efficient on any job site.

Designed to improve efficiency on the job site Increased efficiency Enhanced manoeuvrability We have designed the latest range of ZW-5 wheel loaders to offer increased productivity – without burdening the environment – through sustainable operations. The manoeuvrability of the ZW-5 wheel loader series has been enhanced by automatic gearshift controls. It is equipped with a new hydraulic circuit, which facilitates the combined operation of the bucket and lift arm for loading, and prioritises use of the bucket for unloading. The lift arm movement also makes a contribution to the new ZW-5’s high...

Maintenance A variety of easy maintenance features have been incorporated into the design of the ZW550-5 to ensure high levels of productivity and availability. The redesigned engine and radiator covers can be opened fully, for example, providing convenient access for inspection. Greasing points, oil levels and fuel filters are all easily accessible. These and other features will enable you to quickly minimise the downtime of your Hitachi wheel loader, so you can be assured of its optimum performance.
