Hitachi ZW310 front loader

Hitachi ZW310 is a Japanese front-end loader designed for various operations involving loading and transporting goods. The equipment has proven components that are designed for a long service life. The machine has almost unlimited capabilities and offers the user decent functionality at an affordable price. In return, the consumer receives Japanese manufacturing quality, support for a large number of options, a wide service network and low cost of ownership. The model in question looks very impressive, and at the same time is capable of overcoming off-road areas. The Hitachi ZW310 forklift has successfully passed all factory endurance tests, and has generally shown itself to be positive.

Purpose

Hitachi ZW310 is a versatile loading device adapted to harsh environmental conditions, including extremely hot and low temperatures. The capabilities of this model include working with cargo, loading and transporting it. The equipment operates successfully in retail warehouses and premises, as well as on the street, and in conditions of limited accessibility - for example, off-road. In agriculture, the Hitachi ZW310 forklift has proven itself in various earth-moving operations, mowing grass and leveling gravel areas. It can also act as a snow blower, or as a communal tool for removing debris, dust and leaves. The model's capabilities are extensive and varied, and are available with support for a wide range of attachment options.

Attachments

A snow blade is a device for working in winter. Of course, they can clean out entire areas of large snowdrifts, including large parking areas and roadways. This option is available in two versions. Thus, the simplified version has a mechanical rotating mechanism, that is, in this case, the blade angle is adjusted manually. The hydraulic drive version allows this to be done automatically, without leaving the cab - using a special joystick in the cabin.

Pallet forks are attachments with the ability to move particularly fragile cargo, in particular glass containers. Any such cargo is usually transported on pallets. In fact, with such equipment, the machine acquires the capabilities of a forklift. The width of the pallet forks can be adjusted depending on the shape and dimensions of the cargo container.
A telescopic boom is a device designed to move cargo in the air when it is not possible to transport it in a traditional way due to the presence of obstacles on the surface. This often happens in warehouses. The boom is equipped with a crane hook, which is mounted on a hinged support. This allows the hook to rotate in any plane.
Log grabber is an attachment for working with cylindrical objects. For example, these could be pillars, pipes, piles and other objects. The log grabber has an innovative design with hydraulic hoses that ensure stability and smooth operation at high hydraulic pressure. In addition, the log grabber is designed for a lifting capacity of about 5 tons. The maximum indicator in this case depends on the modification.
Grab fork – a device for gripping tubular structures, mainly pipes with a diameter of up to 400 mm. It is used in factories for the production and storage of pipes, as well as their recycling. A special grip holds the pipes so that they do not fall out during transportation.
A snow removal bucket is an indispensable device for snow removal, namely large snowdrifts, including dry, freshly fallen and compacted snow. It is actively used in municipal services and is practically not subject to corrosive effects. Made of durable metal, and due to this it has increased strength and durability. Based on this, you can be sure that such a bucket will last for more than one winter season.
A bulldozer blade is a device with a rotating function that increases the functionality of a conventional front-end loader, which, with this option, essentially “turns” into a mini-bulldozer. As for the rotating function, it means that the angle of rotation of the blade can be adjusted. Thus, you can adjust the direction of ejection of snow, soil, sand and other bulk materials - to the left, forward or to the right.
A brush is a device for removing freshly fallen and dry snow, as well as any type of debris, including dust, sand, leaves or construction waste. Depending on the modification, the brush can be rotary or road, and there is also an industrial version of the brush with a hopper. The road modification has a humidification function, thanks to which debris is not sprayed throughout the entire site. In other words, it will be easier to collect wet garbage in one pile. In general, the brush is the most popular tool for housing and communal services.
Straw forks are agricultural equipment designed to work with fibrous materials, including hay, grass clippings, loosened haylage and other similar loads, the density of which can reach 800 kg per 1 cubic meter. m.
A cradle is a lifting platform for working at a certain height. For example, it can be used to install high-voltage wires and lighting lamps, to finish and paint ceilings, facades of buildings and structures. In general, you can carry out any work at height. The cradle is a durable metal structure with convenient access for the operator due to the wide door opening.
The blade blade is an attachment for working in harsh climatic conditions. For example, at low temperatures, in the presence of ice or snow together with ice. Such compacted snow cover can be swept away without any problems using a knife with a blade.
An adapter is an additional accessory that provides more reliable fastening of attachments, for example options designed to transport particularly heavy loads. In particular, the adapter can be used to connect a snow removal bucket.

Prices and analogues

Hitachi forklift has different prices depending on size and lifting capacity:

version ZW 140 - from 9.2 million rubles;
model ZW 180 - from 11 million rubles;
modification ZW 310 - from 16 million rubles.

On the used equipment market, the cost of cars starts from 0.9 million rubles. Medium-capacity loaders are valued at 5-6 million rubles and more. The analogues are loaders assembled by JCB. Machines produced in China (for example, SDLG brand) have similar characteristics. The advantage of Chinese technology is its reduced cost compared to Hitachi. At the same time, the workmanship is inferior to cars from Japan.

Features of the device and operation

The Hitachi ZW310 is equipped with impressive wheels with a wide profile and deep tread. Such tires do not have to be replaced with optional wheels or expensive tracks, because with them you can already get excellent off-road performance. The deep tread hardly gets clogged with dirt, as it has a self-cleaning function. The wheels themselves are quite heavy, and this is an advantage that increases load capacity and improves directional stability. Of course, the loader is all-wheel drive, which also has a beneficial effect on maneuverability. At the same time, we note high approach and departure angles, as well as high ground clearance and minimal body overhangs.

The Hitachi ZW310 front-end loader is equipped with a German-American diesel engine from the Daimler and Chrysler concerns. The power output of the engine is 295 horsepower, which is enough to unleash the potential of all working parts and devices of the loader. In urban environments, you can travel at speeds of up to 34 km/h. The motor has an effective cooling system that prevents overheating, and the pre-heater, in turn, facilitates uninterrupted engine starting at low temperatures, which is especially important in the northern regions of Russia. In addition, this unit is manufactured in accordance with environmental standards and regulations, consumes relatively little fuel and has a spacious fuel tank.
Relatively compact dimensions, small turning radius and wheelbase contribute to excellent maneuverability, as well as the ability to work in difficult to reach areas. Thus, there will be no special problems when turning in cramped conditions, which is especially important in cramped warehouse spaces. Thus, the volume of the wheelbase reaches 3450 mm.

The Hitachi ZW310 front loader is equipped with a fully functional cab with excellent sound insulation. Noises and vibrations are almost unnoticeable, and thanks to this the driver feels comfortable and is not distracted from work. Of course, due to this, he gets less tired and is able to work much longer, which is especially important with a multi-shift workday. In addition, comfort in work is ensured by a wide view to the sides, which reaches almost 360 degrees - due to the front, side and rear glass areas. The location of the levers and switches is as convenient and ergonomic as possible, since they are at hand and you don’t have to reach for them. The basic version already includes air conditioning and an autonomous heater. The climate control system can be set up quickly and operates quietly. As for the driver's seat, it can also be adjusted at your discretion - this applies to both the seat and the steering column.
When replacing consumables, no assistance from professional specialists is required. Thanks to the rational organization of the engine compartment, replacement of fuel and air filters can be done on the job site - with a basic set of tools, which is included in the delivery package, and is located in a special niche. There will be no inconvenience when replacing some components and assemblies of the internal combustion engine, including elements of the cylinder-piston group. The hood lid opens strictly vertically and is fixed at an angle of up to 90 degrees using supports with gas-filled shock absorbers.
