2007 - 2012 HITACHI LX80-7 WHEEL LOADER

The Hitachi LX80-7 is a robust wheel loader designed for versatile construction and material handling applications. It features a turbocharged DD-4BG1T engine with a displacement of 264.2 cubic inches, delivering a net power of 108 hp at 2200 rpm. The loader’s operating weight is approximately 17,901.6 lbs (8,120 kg), providing a solid foundation for heavy-duty performance. The bucket has a heaped capacity of 2.1 cubic yards (2 m³) and a struck capacity of 1.8 cubic yards (1 m³), with a width of 8.2 feet (2 m). It offers a breakout force of 17,760 lbs (8,056 kg), enabling efficient digging and loading tasks. Maximum dump clearance reaches 9 feet (3 m), with a hinge pin height of 11.9 feet (3 m), optimizing material discharge. Hydraulically, the LX80-7 utilizes a gear-type pump with a flow capacity of 37.3 gallons per minute (140 liters/min) and a system relief valve set at 2132.1 psi. Its hydraulic cycle times include a 5.6-second raise, 1.2-second dump, and 3-second lower. The two-speed transmission with hydraulic clutch allows a maximum speed of 21.5 mph (34 kph) in both forward and reverse modes. The wheelbase measures 8.6 feet (2 m), and the turning radius is 15.4 feet (5 m), supporting maneuverability on job sites. Additional specifications include a 24 V electrical system with a 50 A alternator, 41 gallons (155 liters) fuel capacity, and tire size 17.5-25-12PR (L2). Ground clearance is 1.2 feet (0.36 m), and the loader stands 10.4 feet (3.17 m) tall at the cab top. Rear axle oscillation is 24 degrees, aiding stability on uneven terrain. Overall length with the bucket on the ground is 20.9 feet (6 m), and the loader’s width over tires is 7.7 feet (2.35 m). These features make the LX80-7 a powerful and efficient machine for various earthmoving and material handling operations.
