Hitachi Construction Machinery (Europe) (HCME) says its new ZW250-5 wheeled loader being unveiled at bauma is the result of feedback from European customers. The model’s cab is said to be more spacious than models from the previous range, because the heated air-suspension seat can slide further back, providing more leg room. The tilting telescopic pop-up steering column has also been repositioned to create additional space. An air conditioning system has been installed that regulates the temperature inside

The model’s cab is said to be more spacious than models from the previous range, because the heated air-suspension seat can slide further back, providing more leg room. The tilting telescopic pop-up steering column has also been repositioned to create additional space.
An air conditioning system has been installed that regulates the temperature inside the cab, and an optional filter is available for industrial waste job sites. Sound insulation reduces noise levels from the local environment.
While the ZW250-5 wheeled loader complies with EU regulations on emission standards, HCME says it does not compromise on productivity. It has an 181kW 7.8-litre six-cylinder water-cooled turbo engine, and what HCME describes as impressive travel speeds and excellent fuel consumption.
The new 20.25-20.7tonne operating weight wheeled loader is also said to be easier to manoeuvre than the previous model, which is also said to result in higher levels of productivity.
The ZW250-5 has two simple work modes that provide an appropriate level of performance for a particular task. In Standard mode, the engine speed is controlled, which allows for smooth and efficient acceleration during loading, regular operations and travelling on level terrain. Fuel consumption is claimed to be reduced by up to 10%, enhancing its environmentally friendly performance.
A new clutch cut-off system allows for smooth operation when it is loading. Furthermore, the ZW250-5 has a quick power switch, an example of its advanced technology, which boosts the power when required by changing work modes.
To enhance safety on the job site the ZW250-5, which has a 2.8-3.8m³ bucket capacity and 157kN breakout force, offers greater visibility from the operator’s seat than previous models thanks to a pillar-less windshield and large sun visor. The counterweight is also now visible from both sides of the machine. The shift-up delay to third gear makes the wheel loader safer to operate in confined spaces, because it can perform excavating and unloading tasks more safely in first and second gear.
A variety of easy maintenance features have been incorporated into the design of the ZW250-5. For example, the redesigned engine and radiator cover can be opened fully, providing quick and convenient access for daily inspection.
