Youll like the powerful Hitachi EX120. It is fast, extremely powerful for
its size, and very responsive. The EX120 features the most advanced
computerized horsepower and control system available: Hitachis
exclusive Dash-5 system. This system is renowned for its smooth multifunction control. The proven Isuzu engine is perfectly matched to the
hydraulic system for years of reliable and yet outstanding performance.

Specifics

1. Low noise design eliminates

high-pitch noise inside the cab.
2. Easy-maintenance HN
bushings which are made of
sintered composite iron alloy
with high-viscosity lubricating
oil.

Isuzu A-4BG1T turbocharged, direct injection diesel

engine is extremely fuel-efficient and reliable. It meets
all EPA clean air requirements.
Dash-5 engine/hydraulic control with three power
modes and four work modes.
Power modes:
1. Normal: Standard operation
2. H/P:
Increased engine rpm and horsepower
3. E:
Maximum fuel efficiency in light duty
applications
Work modes:
1. General Purpose
2. Grading Mode
3. Precision Mode
4. Attachment Mode
Cab mounted on six fluid-filled, vibration dampening,
shock absorbing mounts.
Compact travel motor design; protected piping reduces
opportunity of damage.

3. Fresh-air type, large-capacity

air conditioner standard.
4. Auto-lubrication system for
ensured lubrication of boom
and arm pins optionally
available.
5. Hitachis original shockless
valve and quick warm-up
control system for engine and
hydraulic oil means highly
responsive controls
immediately after start-up.

Features

6. Round hydraulic tank provides

superior circulation of the
hydraulic oil so that its kept
cleaner and cooler.

The updated work modes provide power in the order

of inherent priority to do the best job for the project
at hand. The Hitachi EX120 has excellent multifunction features which allow multiple jobs such as
travel, swing and boom raise all at the same time
without any one function stopping.
The Super EX120, as with all Hitachi excavator
models, is built to maximize performance, reliability,
and operator comfort through optimum design and
quality components. The Isuzu engine is matched to
the hydraulic pumps for outstanding multiple
function performance. The undercarriage, carbody,
and front attachment are all balanced and designed
for maximum strength. All of this means that your
Hitachi EX120 will work economically and
productively for years and for thousands of hours at
minimum operating costs.

7. A rugged X-form center frame

assures superb durability.
8. Super-strong hydraulic oil
piping and hoses provide
outstanding reliability and
extremely clean machines.
9. All Hitachi excavators feature
heavy-duty booms and arms
reinforced with bulkheads for
extra long life.

Powertrain: Efficient, Powerful

Model Features: EX120

Operator Comfort:
A Top Priority

Economical Isuzu 81 hp Engine

Is Dependable, Long-Lasting

Sitting in one place, all day, operating a machine productively takes

concentration and dedication to doing a good job. It also means that a smart
owner is going to do everything possible to make sure his operator is
comfortable in the cab. The Hitachi EX120 is an excellent example of how
comfortable a well-designed cab can be.

The Isuzu A-4BG1T engine is one of the most widely used, most
proven and most dependable engines in the world. In the EX120,
it is turbocharged. The 4-cylinder diesel features direct injection,
a maximum torque of 231 lbfft (32 kgfm), and a mechanical
governor. It meets all EPA and CARB regulations for noise and
pollution.

The widest cab in its class: 3 ft. 4 in. (1 005 mm). Lots of leg room, wide side
door. The ergonomically-designed seat is fully adjustable with tilting armrests,
tilting back, floating or solidly fixed seat, headrest tilt, and seat raise/lower.
The cab floats on six fluidfilled elastic mounts that
smooth out shocks and jolts.

AM-FM
Radio

The hand control levers can be raised or lowered

to match the operators build, and the controls
can either glide forward or back with the seat or
remain fixed while the seat moves.

The work modes, power modes, air conditioning

controls, and dial-type engine speed control are
all located beside the operator.

Outstanding
Traction Force

Work Modes For

Increased Performance

The traction force is an impressive 22,000 lbf (10,000 kgf) for

excellent maneuvering through mud and over obstacles.
4

The four work modes have been enhanced from prior models.
The General Purpose Mode is appropriate for general digging and truck loading. All circuits work together.
The Grading Mode provides priority to the combined operation of boom raise,
stick forward and bucket adjustment while limiting control response so that the
movement is smooth.
The Precision Mode keeps the front attachment moving precisely and slowly.
The Attachment Mode is designed to automatically match the oil flow requirements of selected attachments such as a hydraulic hammer. Additional piping is
required (optional).

The Normal mode is for normal or average applications. The engine runs
at an efficient maximum speed for longest life and general economy.
The hydraulic pump runs at a baseline 100%.
The H/P mode provides the full power of the EX120 on command.
This function increases engine rpm by 6% when activated, thus providing
5% more horsepower when needed.
Engine rpm automatically increases when the arm-in function
meets resistance.
Automatically switches back to normal rpm when resistance
is overcome for fuel savings.
The E mode provides 94% of full power while providing 15% more fuel
efficiency. It is appropriate for light-duty work because it allows you to
work longer before refueling.

Enhanced Cooling Protection

The EX120 features a 4.9 U.S. gallon (18.4 liters) radiator coolant
tank, a tightly fitting fan shroud and a high capacity fan. The
radiator fins can easily be cleaned without tools and the coolant
level can be checked from the ground during normal inspection.

Long-Life, High-Hour Durability

Perfectly Matched
Hydraulic System

Engine

Hitachi expertly matches the engine to the hydraulic

pumps and control valves for the best response and longest
life possible. The pumps are designed to work specifically
with the Isuzu engine regardless of rpm or work load.

Super Strong
Piping
Hitachi is legendary for its strong,
long-lasting hydraulic hose, piping
and fittings. This provides outstanding
reliability and cleanliness.

Round Travel
Motor Covers

Longer-Life Undercarriage
