To meet the growing demand for 40-tonne-class machines in Europe, capable of boosting productivity and efficiency on heavy-duty applications and demolition job sites, Hitachi Construction Machinery (Europe) is presenting the ZX390TC-7.
Based on a Hitachi ZX350LC-7 standard excavator, with Zaxis-7 technology and a Stage V-compliant engine, the new tool carrier model has been specially adapted to work with larger working tools.
Larger boom and bucket cylinders and a one-class-higher reinforced linkage enable the ZX390TC-7 to carry five-tonne tools, such as hydraulic shears for crushing normally used by larger machines. It is equipped with a full hydraulic control system, suitable for use with all attachments, which can be changed within seconds from the operator’s seat.
For added stability, the ZX390TC-7 has a robust 25 cm longer undercarriage than the standard ZX350LC-7 and is supplied with an additional 1.4-tonne counterweight.
To ensure the safety of operators, the machine has side impact protection and a demolition-spec cab with FOPS guard level 2 and high-spec P5A safety glass.
Safety is also enhanced by the exceptional visibility from the cab, particularly from the 270-degree bird’s-eye view provided by the Aerial Angle camera system.
Like all Zaxis-7 excavators, the ZX390TC-7 provides exceptional durability for heavy-duty applications, especially demolition projects. Hitachi supplies all of the main components and spare parts, which are renowned for quality and reliability.
Furthermore, Hitachi’s quality assurance team approved the modifications, and the new model is covered by the manufacturer’s warranty and service programmes.
