Presenting medium crawler excavators with a difference at Bauma

Collision mitigation machine control system for excavators

One of the most popular Hitachi Zaxis-7 models, the ZX210LC-7, will be on display with the first collision mitigation machine control system for excavators in Europe. Advanced Aerial Angle is the only technology available that detects objects and reflectors, such as high-visibility vests on humans, and stops the machine's motion. It helps create a safer environment while the excavator travels, swings, and even in case of unintentional start-up of the machinery. In addition, the ZX210LC-7 is equipped with a Trimble 3D machine guidance system, which can be fitted at our factory in Amsterdam.

Versatile machinery

The short-tail swing ZX135US-7B is equipped with a two-piece boom to further enhance its versatility for confined spaces. It also benefits from the industry-leading HIOS hydraulic system that reduces fuel consumption while maintaining high levels of productivity.

A larger short-tail swing model, the Hitachi ZX225USLC-7, will be on show on the adjoining stand of the German Hitachi dealer, Kiesel. It has a class-leading, ultra-short swing radius of 1,680mm, and an optional dozer blade. Different attachments are quickly changed using the enhanced attachment support system on the monitor.

Best in class excavators

Another Highlight is the KTEG 375USLC, which is a strong, versatile, and stable solution with a short-tail swing radius at the front and rear, making it ideal for tough assignments in tight urban environments, road construction, lifting work, and pipelaying projects. The machine comes with the option of a two-piece boom and/or blade (with cylinders and HRV ), which have been designed for added versatility, and safety and stability respectively. The Two-Piece boom solution provides best in class cutting height, what makes it a strong and versatile solution with outstanding working range.

Designed for European customers

“Hitachi and KTEG are renowned for supplying reliable excavators, and at Bauma this year, we are adding value to our existing offering through a variety of options and configurations that meet the specific requirements of our European customers,” says HCME CEO Francesco Quaranta. “We are also preparing for the future and look forward to unveiling more solutions that will exceed expectations of the next generation.”

The Hitachi and KTEG medium excavators will be on display on stand FN.716 during Bauma 2025, which takes place on 7 to 13 April in Munich.
