Spotlight on the new Zaxis-7 SLF

We offer a wide selection of super long front (SLF) excavators, which vary from 9 to 49 tonnes and range from 10.5 to 22 metres. Designed using more than 20 years of engineering experience, SLF excavators can be used for slope finishing, loading and dredging. But what makes Hitachi Zaxis-7 SLF excavators stand out from the crowd?

Unique design for long reach

The length of the boom and arm are perfectly balanced with the base machine. And the boom and arm design is the perfect combination of strength and flexibility for the machine’s extended working range. The Hitachi TRIAS III hydraulic system provides a high level of control and allows the SLF machine to work with exceptional speed and precision.

Pressure settings are optimised for deep digging and unloading. And the machine can be positioned close to trucks to ensure optimal loading of various materials, for a productive and streamlined handling process.

SLF excavators are also easy to move from one job site to another due to their height and stability during transit. Long or narrow undercarriage options are available, ideal for various working conditions.

Enhanced cab comfort

The Zaxis-7 SLF excavators share the same industry-leading cab as the standard Zaxis-7 machines. The heated suspension seat is extremely comfortable, and the synchronised motion of the seat and console reduces fatigue.

Due to the installation of a new viscous mount, there is up to 27% reduction of cab vibrations compared to the previous version and it has the lowest noise levels in the market. Easy operation comes from the new ergonomic design of the console and switches, and convenient access.

Operator safety

The exceptional visibility from the cab is due to the Aerial Angle camera system, which gives operators a 270-degree bird’s-eye view of their surroundings. LED work lights allow them to work confidently and productively in challenging conditions.

The stability of the machine has been enhanced by the heavier counterweight in line with the robust undercarriage and durable components offering strong traction. Operators can also expect enhanced manoeuvrability on different types of terrain.

Another important safety feature on this model is the hose rupture valve. If it detects pressure loss, it quickly closes to ensure operator safety and minimal damage to the equipment.

Maximum uptime

Maintenance and cleaning of the Zaxis-7 SLF excavators is quick and easy, with wide door and cover openings providing easy access, and minimising downtime. Additionally, most parts are interchangeable with standard Hitachi machines, which also facilitates easy maintenance and ensures maximum uptime.
