Product Features & Benefits
High Efficiency Energy-Saving Power System
- Hitachi ZX170LC-5A crawler excavator carries exclusive Hitachi 4-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine, matched with intelligent load-sensing hydraulic pump. This 17 ton excavator automatically adjusts hydraulic oil flow based on digging load: during light work like soil shifting, it reduces power output to save fuel; during heavy work like rock breaking, it releases full hydraulic pressure to guarantee digging force. Compared with common hydraulic digger of the same tonnage, Hitachi ZX170LC-5A lowers fuel consumption significantly without sacrificing construction efficiency.
Reinforced Wear-Resistant Working Device
- The boom, arm and bucket of Hitachi crawler excavator ZX170LC-5A are made of high-strength wear-resistant steel plate, with thickened welding joints at stress points. The standard 0.75m³ bucket of this medium size excavator adopts integral cast bucket teeth, which can resist abrasion when digging gravel, clay and hard soil. The auxiliary hydraulic pipeline reserved on the arm supports fast installation of hydraulic breaker, log grapple and tilt bucket, greatly improving the multi-scene working ability of this hydraulic digger.
Comfortable Safe Operator Cabin
- The fully sealed cabin of Hitachi ZX170LC-5A 17 ton excavator meets ROPS anti-roll safety standard. It equips thick shock-absorbing suspension seat, full-range air conditioner, large panoramic front windshield and anti-glare LED working lights. The central digital display screen can check engine fault codes, hydraulic flow and maintenance reminder in real time, lowering operation difficulty for new and veteran operators. Low noise sealing structure cuts internal cabin noise, creating a quiet working environment for all-day construction.
Durable Stable Undercarriage
- This Hitachi hydraulic digger uses X-type reinforced track frame, paired with heavy-duty carrier rollers and idlers. The 600mm wide rubber or steel track shoes can be selected freely according to working ground: steel tracks suit rocky mining yards, while rubber tracks protect asphalt and lawn ground for landscaping projects. The track tension adjustment structure is easy to maintain, effectively reducing track slipping and wear during long-distance moving of the 17 ton excavator.
