Hitachi Construction Machinery Americas announced the ZX350LC-7 construction excavator in January 2024. This excavator optimizes comfort so operators can be more productive. They can work longer with less fatigue due to lower vibration levels, increased head and leg room and the convenience of finding the perfect position with a one-touch adjustable air suspension seat synchronized to move with the console.
Operators can stay alert for longer periods thanks to minimized noise and vibration resulting from thicker rear glass and four fluid-filled elastic cab mounts that reduce vibration when traveling. They can also stay clean on the dustiest jobsites with an airtight cab that utilizes a seal between the cab and floor plate.
Panoramic visibility from the operator’s seat helps create a safe working environment. An Aerial Angle peripheral vision camera system provides five different camera views from inside the cab, including a wide 270-degree bird’s-eye view of the machine’s immediate environment.
