NNew Hitachi Large Wheel Loader <strong>for</strong><br />

Extraction of Natural Stone<br />

Since July 2010 the Hitachi large wheel loader ZW550<br />

is operating in block h<strong>and</strong>ling <strong>for</strong>mat in a South-German<br />

jura marble quarry with processing plant. Together with<br />

the system partner LOC-Matic, the front equipment was<br />

optimally adapted to the individual requirements of the<br />

quarry <strong>and</strong> the per<strong>for</strong>mance parameters of the Hitachi<br />

wheel loader. Equipped with hydraulic quick changing<br />

device, the ZW550 can flexibly be applied with raise<br />

sprocket <strong>for</strong> block extraction.<br />

Hitachi wheel loader ZW550 in block-h<strong>and</strong>ling design –<br />

HITACHI WHEEL LOADERS AND HYDRAULIC DREDGERS ARE KNOWN FOR THEIR<br />

HIGH QUALITY, PERFORMANCE AND ROBUSTNESS, PARTICULARLY NEEDED IN<br />

HARD EXTRACTION OPERATIONS. THE FIRST HITACHI LARGE WHEEL LOADERS<br />

WERE INTRODUCED IN BAUMA 2010, RESULTING FROM THE ALLIANCE BETWEEN<br />

HITACHI CONSTRUCTION MACHINERY UND KAWASAKI HEAVY INDUSTRIES. AS<br />

ONE OF THE FIRST MACHINES DELIVERED TO GERMAN, A ZW550 CONVINCES IN<br />

EXTRACTION OPERATIONS.<br />

ZW330 ZW370<br />

Often a short-term higher per<strong>for</strong>mance is needed<br />

during breakage of the blocks, <strong>and</strong> this per<strong>for</strong>mance is<br />

easily achieved by Hitachi with a pressure connection of<br />

the hydraulics. In block transport the large wheel loader<br />

convinces with highest loads. Moreover the ZW550 is<br />

equipped with an adjustable traction control, which<br />

automatically adjusts to the working conditions. The box<br />

frame, a low hinged lifting cylinder <strong>and</strong> two bucket cylinders<br />

make this wheel loader-model even more effective <strong>for</strong><br />

application in natural stone extraction.<br />
