This machine is specifically for slope making, dredging etc. For demolition work we have other machines designed for the job. www.hitachicm.com/eu/en/machinery/excavators/special-applications/demolition-excavators/
@HitachiConstruction this new sliding arm is the future for your excavators. As on the zx135 if you could offer on the 50 and on up you would be the only machines with an extendable arm other than bobcat. I am not pleased with Doosan bobcat should have never stopped using the kubota diesel. We are seeking to purchase a zx60 with rubber tracks angle blade and a zx225uslc with steel tracks next year both with blade and would spec both with the sliding extendable arm hydraulic quick coupler 4 buckets each hydraulic thumb and auxiliary hydraulics for breakers and other hydraulic attachments. The 60 most definitely with an angle blade. Will you begin to offer machines and product support with the sliding extendable arm design for more than just the zx135? If not I guess we will source them directly from Kaiping Zhonghe Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd. it appears that is where hitachi has them made. I would rather just deal with hitachi here in illinois but have spec'd and purchased specialty cylinders and attachments from Chinese manufacturers and picked up from port in Peoria, Illinois and St. Louis, Missouri.
Try buying a machine from Hitachi you simply can’t because they all go to the new hire decision, you can buy one a year old with a thousand hours for more then the new list price
Just got our -7 210 last week, I was really disappointed with the new changes compared to our -3 200. The seat is uncomfortable and the pan of the seat has no movement functions, the joysticks are too low even set at the highest placement, and the overall hydraulic functions are substantially delayed compared to our -3 excavator.
