HITACHI ZX245USLC-6 CRAWLER EXCAVATOR

Technical Description

The Hitachi ZX245USLC-6 is a compact, ultrashort tracked excavator engineered for maximum maneuverability and productivity in confined work environments. Powered by an Isuzu 4HK1 turbocharged diesel engine rated at 159 horsepower and 119 kilowatts, this machine operates at 2000 rpm and meets EPA Final Tier 4 and EU Stage IV emissions standards. The excavator features an operating weight of 56,879 pounds with a minimal swing radius of 96.5 inches, enabling operation in tight spaces where conventional excavators cannot access. The machine incorporates Hitachi's advanced TRIAS II hydraulic system with three variable-displacement axial-piston pumps delivering 162 gallons per minute at maximum flow. Equipped with pilot lever controls and open-center, load-sensing hydraulics, the ZX245USLC-6 offers precise multi-function operation suitable for demanding digging applications. The system operates at pressures ranging from 4,685 to 5,511 psi depending on operational mode. With two boom and stick configurations available, the excavator provides versatile digging capabilities. Option One delivers a maximum digging reach of 27.6 feet with a cutting height of 30.5 feet, while Option Two extends reach to 29.1 feet with a 31.8-foot cutting height. Both configurations achieve maximum digging depths exceeding 18 feet with bucket and arm digging forces ranging from approximately 13,488 to 23,380 pounds. The undercarriage features eight track rollers per side, two carrier rollers, and 49 shoes per side, supporting a drawbar pull of 11,216 pounds and maximum travel speed of 3.5 miles per hour. The fuel tank capacity of 100.4 gallons and 63.5-gallon hydraulic system ensure extended operational periods while maintaining efficient performance across diverse construction and demolition applications.
