Smooth digging

Hitachi Construction Products of Tokyo has recently introduced two new wheeled excavators to their product line, the Zaxis 180W and the Zaxis 210W (Circle 911). These machines offer strong, fast and smooth operations, as well as travel speeds up to 15.5 mph. The 180W and 210W include a parallelogram-designed front blade that serves as a stabilizer during digging. The cab of the excavator is mounted on four silicone-filled cab mounts to reduce noise and vibration. The 180W and 210W feature the Machine Information Center (MIC), a data logger that records machine information such as engine rpm, hydraulic oil and engine coolant temperature, machine alarms and codes, time spent swinging and idle time. The data can help the machine owner adjust equipment needs to increase utilization and productivity.
