Its articulated design allows for manoeuvrability, while its Z-bar linkage ensures superior bucket control and breakout force. 

With a bucket capacity ranging from 6.2m³, this loader is capable of handling large volumes of material efficiently.

At the heart of the machine is the Isuzu 6WG1 engine, a 15.7-litre, 6-cylinder engine that delivers 290 kW of power at 1800 rpm. 

The machine’s rotary power shift transmission offers smooth gear changes with four forward and three reverse speeds, allowing operators to achieve a maximum speed of 38km/h forward and 20.9km/h in reverse.

The ZW370-6 is built to withstand the harsh conditions often encountered on Australian worksites. 

Its robust construction ensures durability, while the standard ride control system enhances stability and reduces machine wear when operating on uneven terrain. 

The loader’s static tip load of 21,520kg and operating capacity (SWL) of 10,760kg at 50% of STL demonstrate its ability to handle heavy loads with ease.

The ZW370-6 measures 9,805mm in length (including the bucket) and has a wheelbase of 3,600mm. 

Its width of 3,230 mm (without the bucket) and height of 3,810mm to the top of the cab make it a compact machine for its class. 

With a ground clearance of 435mm and an articulation angle of 37degrees to either side, this loader can navigate challenging terrain. 

The ZW370-6 comes with a bucket width of 3,510mm and a dump height of 3,300mm at a 45-degree discharge angle. 

Its dump reach of 1,530mm ensures efficient loading and unloading operations. 

The Z-bar linkage provides breakout force of 20,860 kgf, making it suitable for handling tough materials. 

The loader’s versatility is enhanced by its compatibility with a range of attachments, allowing it to adapt to various tasks on the worksite.

The Hitachi ZW370-6 is well-suited to the demanding conditions of Australian worksites. 

Its rugged design, combined with advanced features like the ride control system and wet disc brakes, ensures reliable performance in challenging environments.
