Reliable and durable
To ensure they can cope with tough working conditions and extreme temperatures in the African market, we have designed the ZX280-5G and ZX280LC-5G medium excavators to be reliable, durable and highly productive. They are fitted with a reliable Isuzu engine, proven on demanding job sites. They are also equipped with a durable front attachment, including a reinforced boom, and a strengthened undercarriage and reinforced upper structure for added durability.
Several time-saving design features ensure they are easy to maintain, such as the easily accessible fuel filters that can be inspected at ground level, and a dust-proof net to protect the radiator.
Higher productivity and reduced fuel consumption
Hitachi ZX280-5G and ZX280LC-5G medium excavators can load trucks quickly and efficiently thanks to our HIOS III hydraulic system. This is responsible for an increased operating speed with less fuel consumption than the previous Hitachi model.
You can expect a high arm speed while the boom is lowering, as well as powerful lifting and smooth swing operations. An auto power lift mode automatically boosts lifting force by 10% when required.
Razel, Senegal
French company Razel-Bec used a Hitachi ZX280LC-5G on an earthmoving and civil engineering contract on the Senegal River Delta. The aim of the project was to increase rice-growing opportunities by excavating new canals and rehabilitating existing ones.
