2006-2009 HITACHI LX70 SUPER WHEEL LOADER

Technical Description

The Hitachi LX70 Super is a compact wheel loader engineered for versatile construction and industrial tasks. It features a turbocharged 4-cylinder W04CT engine delivering 84 hp at 2300 rpm with peak torque at 1600 rpm, enabling efficient power output for medium-duty operations. The hydrostatic transmission offers two forward and two reverse gears, achieving speeds up to 21.4 mph. The loader's bucket has a heaped capacity of 1.6 cubic yards (1.2 m³) and a breakout force of 15,152 lbs, optimized for effective material handling. Key dimensions include a ground clearance of 1.4 ft, overall length with bucket on the ground at 20.2 ft, width over tires at 7.4 ft, and height to the top of the cab at 10.3 ft, making it suitable for confined spaces while maintaining operational efficiency. The hydraulic system, powered by a 30.4 gal/min gear pump at 3130 psi relief pressure, enables a rapid dump time of 1 second and full raise in 5.1 seconds for productivity. Operating weight stands at approximately 14,727 lbs, with a 24° rear axle oscillation supporting stable maneuverability over rough terrain. The machine includes a 37-gallon fuel tank, 15.9-gallon hydraulic fluid capacity, and robust cooling and lubrication systems designed for reliability. Tire size is 15.5x25, and the turning radius of 17 ft enhances agility on-site. Its 24-volt electrical system and 40-amp alternator support accessory power needs. The LX70 Super’s compact size paired with solid performance metrics makes it well-suited for versatile loading, excavation, and material transport tasks in construction environments.
