HITACHI ZX240LC CRAWLER EXCAVATOR

The Hitachi ZX240LC is a medium-sized hydraulic excavator engineered for demanding construction and earthmoving applications. Powered by a turbocharged, intercooled engine delivering 177 horsepower (132 kW), this machine combines robust performance with operational efficiency. With an operating weight of 54,244 pounds, the excavator provides excellent stability and digging force across varied job sites. The ZX240LC features impressive digging capabilities with a maximum reach of 35 feet along the ground and a maximum digging depth of 24 feet, making it well-suited for foundation work, trenching, and material handling. The machine incorporates the advanced HIOS III hydraulic system, which optimizes speed and fuel efficiency through intelligent pressure management and regenerative circuit technology. This system enables smooth, powerful operations including enhanced swing torque and precision control for complex excavation tasks. The excavator's cab includes a user-friendly 7-inch multifunction monitor with multilingual support, allowing operators to track hydraulic oil temperature, fuel levels, work modes, and maintenance schedules in real-time. The machine offers multiple operational modes, including ECO mode for fuel economy and Power Boost mode, which surges digging force up to 10 percent for challenging excavation conditions. Built for durability in extreme environments, the ZX240LC features a reinforced boom, strengthened undercarriage, and a D-section frame skirt for enhanced deformation resistance. The excavator delivers a maximum travel speed of 3.4 kilometers per hour in low gear and maintains a gradeability of 70 percent continuous, enabling operation on steep slopes and challenging terrain while maintaining reliability and ease of maintenance.
