2018 Hitachi Construction Machinery Utility Excavators ZX160LC-6

More efficiency, reliability and durability. Thats exactly what you get with the ZX160LC-6. The fuel-efficient EPA Final Tier 4 (FT4)/EU Stage IV Isuzu engine meets rigid emission standards and theres no diesel particulate filter (DPF) needed. The addition of standard upperstructure handrails make the machine safer and more accessible, and the easy-to-operate controls are smooth and responsive just what youve come to expect from Hitachi. Maintenance has also been simplified with features like a battery disconnect switch.

The ZX160LC-6 comes standard equipped with five years of ZXLink Ultimate, giving you 24/7 online access to machine location, health, utilization, fuel consumption, and other valuable information so you can better understand costs and jobsite performance.

Features may include:

• The FT4 engine solution does not require a diesel particulate filter (DPF), saving service time and lowering operating costs.

• An Isuzu EPA Final Tier 4 (FT4)/EU Stage IV engine delivers fuel-efficient and reliable performance. Fuel pressure, timing and volume are precisely regulated by electronic control for efficient combustion with Isuzus common-rail fuel injection system.

• Auto-idle, which reduces engine speed when hydraulics arent in use, and auto-shutdown contribute to fuel efficiency.

• Reinforced D-channel side frames provide maximum cab and component impact protection.

• Tungsten-carbide-coated surfaces protect the critical bucket-to-arm joint.

• Thick-plate single-sheet mainframe, box-section track frames and industry exclusive double-seal swing bearing deliver rock-solid durability.

• With large idlers, rollers and strutted track links, the sealed and lubricated undercarriage is built for the long haul.

• Our FT4 field-proven technology is simple and efficient, employing cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) and selective catalytic reduction (SCR). An improved piston design allows particulate matter to be burned in cylinder, so theres no need for a diesel particulate filter (DPF).

• The pressurized fuel system improves fuel injector operation, and the fuel recirculation system helps prevent fuel gelling in cold climates so you can maintain maximum productivity.

• Its not always about brute force. Unmatched metering and smooth multifunction operation provide finesse and precision.

• Stay on schedule with generous swing torque, digging force and lift capacity.

• Muscle through tough digging by pressing the power-boost button.
