A first-class cab ensures operator comfort and reduces fatigue. It starts with a larger cab with increased head clearance. A one-touch adjustable air suspension seat is synchronized to move with the console. Noise has been minimized by increasing the thickness of the rear glass. Improved airtightness of the cab keeps the dust out, even when the air conditioner is started.

Cab mounts reduce vibration when traveling. An 8-inch (20.32-cm) anti-glare LCD monitor provides visibility, even in bright surroundings. It also controls the Bluetooth radio. The operator can listen to music and make a hands-free call from the cab. Long-lasting LED lights provide visibility in challenging conditions.

Low-effort pilot controls reduce operator strain. For convenience, switches have been collectively installed on the right side with easy access to those frequently used.

Designing cabs with panoramic visibility helps create a safe and comfortable working environment. Hitachi Construction Machinery Americas Inc. takes this a step further with its Aerial Angle peripheral vision camera system. It provides a wide 270-degree bird’s-eye view of the machine’s immediate environment. The operator can select a view on the monitor quickly and easily that best suits the situation. A rear view camera allows the operator to see the area right below the counterweight.

Designed for durability

Hitachi Construction Machinery Americas Inc. excavators are renowned for durability. The ZAXIS-7 excavators feature enhancements on critical components such as the undercarriage and boom. On the undercarriage, the lower roller design helps prevent mud compaction, protecting oil seals. The upper and lower rollers also feature improved idler sealing.

The ZAXIS-7 excavators feature a strengthened boom end and foot. For durability, the bushings are installed in the brackets at the boom end and the boom foot.
