Hitachi Introduces Next-Gen Wheeled Excavator

The next generation of Hitachi’s wheeled excavator, the ZX190W-6, is rolling out with a certified Final Tier 4 (FT4)/EU Stage IV Isuzu engine that does not need a diesel particulate filter and includes multiple other upgrades that enhance efficiency, reliability and durability. Mobile and maneuverable, Hitachi’s wheeled excavator weighs in at 45,300 pounds and sits on a short wheelbase that makes it easy to work in tight spaces.

The new ZX190W-6 features improved piston design allowing particulate matter to burn in cylinder during combustion. This eliminates the need for regenerations or a DPF, saving service time and lowering operating costs. Maintenance is also minimized with the ZX190W-6 – from at-a-glance gauges to grouped service points with easy access to the washer tank, air cleaner, DEF tank and battery disconnect switch. Convenient upper-structure handrails now come standard and provide easy engine access, and extended service intervals help maximize uptime. A redesigned counterweight with LED lights and rearview camera enhance jobsite visibility.
