Hitachi Product Manager, Akarsh Shetty recently shared some of the highlights on the company’s Zaxis-7 SLF excavator.

Hitachi offers a wide selection of super long front (SLF) excavators, which vary from 9 to 49 tonnes and range from 10.5 to 22 meters.

Designed using more than 20 years of engineering experience, SLF excavators can be used for slope finishing, loading and dredging.

The length of the boom and arm are perfectly balanced with the base machine. And the boom and arm design is the perfect combination of strength and flexibility for the machine’s extended working range.

The Hitachi TRIAS III hydraulic system provides a high level of control and allows the SLF machine to work with exceptional speed and precision.

Pressure settings are optimized for deep digging and unloading. And the machine can be positioned close to trucks to ensure optimal loading of various materials, for a productive and streamlined handling process.

Next, the exceptional visibility from the cab is due to the Aerial Angle camera system, which gives operators a 270-degree bird’s-eye view of their surroundings. LED work lights allow them to work confidently and productively in challenging conditions.

Another important feature is maintenance and cleaning of the Zaxis-7 SLF excavators which is quick and easy, with wide door and cover openings providing easy access, and minimizing downtime. Additionally, most parts are interchangeable with standard Hitachi machines, which also facilitates easy maintenance and ensures maximum uptime.
