OVERVIEW

The upper structure frame is reinforced with proven D-section skirts. The height of the D-section is increased to boost durability against obstacles.

Technological prowess and stringent quality control

The blade is of box-section structure for higher ruggedness, and its stays have openings for easy flow-out of mud.

Hitachi cabs and canopies are known for operator comfort.

• They are spacious with ample leg room.
• The operator station is designed to minimise fatigue.
• The console and seat are designed ergonomically, to maximise operator comfort.
• The foot step is lowered for easy access. A host of features like armrests, drink holder and seat back box helps to enhance operator comfort.

Front pins are joined with a tight fit to reduce jerk and noise significantly, thus enhancing durability. The pins are lubricated through HN bushings, having an abundant grease-retaining capacity, extending greasing intervals.

Main hoses are sheathed with hose protectors at the swing post. The bottom of the boom cylinder is protected with a V-shaped boom cylinder guard. The four-side reinforced arm is sturdy thereby for greater durability.

The radiator and oil cooler are arranged in parallel instead of conventional in-line arrangement, to promote easy, efficient cleaning and cooling. Their wavy fins can be easily cleaned by blowing air.

Dust-proof indoor nets provide for easy removal of debris and dirt. The split-type floor mat can be easily removed and its surface patterns allow for quick sweeping.

All covers are wide-opening for direct access to service points and improved serviceability. A cover adjacent to the radiator extends vertically for easy cleaning the radiator. The fuel refilling port is placed inside the cover to avoid dirt entry and fuel theft.

The new tank cover is lightweight and wide-opening for easy refueling.
