Technical Description

The Hitachi ZX470LC-6 is a large-scale hydraulic crawler excavator engineered for demanding construction and material handling applications. Powered by an Isuzu 6UZ1 turbocharged diesel engine rated at 362 horsepower and 270 kilowatts, this machine delivers EPA Final Tier 4 and EU Stage IV emissions compliance while maintaining exceptional fuel efficiency through advanced common-rail fuel injection technology. The excavator operates at 2000 rpm with a displacement of 600.5 cubic inches and features a sophisticated two-variable displacement hydraulic pump system capable of delivering 105.7 gallons per minute at pressures up to 5119.9 psi for travel operations. The ZX470LC-6 offers five interchangeable boom and stick configurations, enabling operators to optimize reach and digging capacity for specific jobsite requirements. Maximum bucket digging forces reach 64,295 pounds ISO, with arm forces up to 58,226 pounds ISO depending on configuration. Working envelope specifications range from a minimum 23.9-foot digging depth to a maximum 43.2-foot ground reach and 38.5-foot cutting height across available configurations. The machine weighs 110,804 pounds with an operating width of 12 feet and features nine track rollers and three carrier rollers per side for enhanced stability and durability. Operator comfort and control are prioritized through short-stroke pilot lever hydraulics, multi-language LCD monitoring, and ergonomic cab design. The 178.4-gallon fuel tank supports extended working hours, while the 81.9-gallon hydraulic tank and sophisticated load-sensing control system ensure responsive, efficient operation. With a maximum travel speed of 3.5 miles per hour and 73,937-pound drawbar pull capability, the ZX470LC-6 combines precision excavation with reliable performance in challenging construction environments.
