 Introducing the New-Generation
Wheel Loaders:

Series
Top-Class Production with Amazing Mobility
The new ZW Series wheel loaders are packed with numerous innovative technologies
and mechanisms. Total control of engine and pump torque is an industry's first.
Three work modes and three driving modes help enhance operating ease and yield
high production. What's more, lots of advanced designs give power and speed for
loading and travel. The ZW Series will set a new standard of productive,
easy-to-operate wheel loaders.

A Quieter Machine

A number of features make this machine quieter. First, isochronous control of the engine
speed means a restriction of engine speed during no-load and light-duty operation to
suppress sound. A fan with curved blades reduces air resistance and airflow noise.
Third, a time-tested muffler suppresses engine noise significantly and reduces
emissions. This advanced low noise design complies with the 2000 / 14 / EC, Stage II,
directive effective in the European Union from 2006.

Hitachi Silent (HS) Fan Low Noise Engine

The cylinder block and ladder frame are
strengthened to reduce engine sound.

The HS fan is capable of reducing air

resistance and air flow sound. It is
utilized at the radiator and oil cooler for
quieter operation.
