HITACHI ZX380LC-6 CRAWLER EXCAVATOR

The Hitachi ZX380LC-6 is a heavy-duty hydraulic excavator designed for high performance in demanding excavation and loading tasks. Powered by a turbocharged and air-to-air charge-air cooled Isuzu 6HK1 engine, it delivers 271 hp (202 kW) at 1900 rpm while meeting EPA Final Tier 4 and EU Stage IV emissions standards. The machine’s operating weight is approximately 82,277 lbs (37,320 kg), providing excellent stability and balance for heavy lifting and digging operations. The ZX380LC-6 features two boom/stick configurations, offering versatile arm digging force: Option 1 provides an ISO arm digging force of 41,590 lbs and SAE bucket digging force of 48,109 lbs with a maximum digging depth of 24.3 ft and max reach along the ground of 35.8 ft. Option 2 delivers a slightly lower arm digging force of 35,745 lbs ISO but extends max digging depth to 26.9 ft and max reach to 38.3 ft, suitable for deeper operations. The bucket capacity ranges from 1.3 to 2.8 cubic yards, enabling handling of various materials and load sizes. Hydraulically, it is equipped with an open-center, load-sensing system featuring two variable-displacement pumps providing up to 76.1 gallons per minute at an operating pressure of 4,975 psi for implements and 5,148 psi for travel. The machine boasts a travel speed up to 3.2 mph and a drawbar pull of 66,900 lbs, making it efficient for both excavation and transport on site. Structural dimensions include a shipping height around 10.8–11.9 ft and length about 36.8–37.1 ft, with a track gauge of 8.5 ft and track shoe width of 31.5 in, contributing to effective ground pressure management at 7.7 psi. The cab features climate control and ergonomic pilot lever controls to reduce operator fatigue during extended use. Overall, the ZX380LC-6 is optimized for productivity, fuel efficiency, and durability in a variety of construction and mining applications.
