There is a moment when power and intelligence meet. It is when the Hitachi ZX350LCN-7 enters the construction site: an excavator designed to work hard, consume less, and offer the operator the best in all conditions.
In the medium-to-large crawler excavator segment, the Hitachi ZX350LCN-7 model from the ZAXIS-7 family marks a significant step forward for those working on Italian construction sites: construction companies, technical managers, and operational teams who focus on productivity, ergonomics, and digitalization. A machine designed to handle heavy loads, optimize costs, and improve the operator experience—all key elements today for those who want to stand out in the construction market.
Main features of the ZX350LCN-7
Energy efficiency and performance
- Isuzu 6HK1X engine compliant with Stage V (ISO 14396) standard, with a rated power of 210 kW.
- Operating weight varies between 35,200 kg and 37,500 kg, depending on the configuration (monoblock or two-piece arm, track width, counterweight).
- ISO “heaped” bucket capacity between 1.15 m³ and 1.86 m³, ideal for large excavations and material handling.
- Up to 10% reduction in fuel consumption compared to the previous generation, thanks to optimized hydraulics with the TRIAS III system.
Ergonomics, safety, and comfort
- Spacious cab with some of the lowest noise levels in the segment and 20% less vibration compared to the previous series.
- Synchronized seat and console, 8″ anti-glare LCD touchscreen, digital climate control, USB ports, and Bluetooth connectivity.
- Optional Aerial Angle system with 270° panoramic view, high-intensity LED lights, and enhanced visibility for operating even in critical conditions.
Versatility and customization
- Available with a monoblock boom or two-piece boom to adapt to different excavation needs: from the pure power of large earthmoving operations to flexibility in confined spaces.
- The TRIAS III system simultaneously improves movement speed and precision, ensuring greater efficiency in specialized work.
- Various configuration options (track widths, boom lengths, bucket types) allow the machine to be customized to the needs of the job site.
Smart monitoring and easy maintenance
- The Global e-Service remote monitoring platform allows you to check usage data, receive notifications, and manage maintenance predictively.
- Simplified access to maintenance points and high-quality components reduce downtime and extend the machine’s service life.
- Robust materials, reinforced guards, and intelligent layout make the ZX350LCN-7 ideal for heavy-duty applications and harsh environments.
