Hitachi said that like all its Zaxis-7 wheeled excavators, the newcomer to the range has been designed to help owners and operators control their profitability, comfort, safety and uptime.

The ZX95W-7 is said to be exceptionally manoeuvrable thanks to the four-wheel steering and offers excellent lifting capacity to deliver high levels of productivity. Versatility is also enhanced when used with a tiltrotator and S-type couplers for attachments.

“We were glad to unveil this new model to our customers at Bauma 2022,” said excavator product manager Wilbert Blom.

“The new ZX95W-7 perfectly complements our Zaxis-7 range, providing exceptional agility and manoeuvrability in small spaces, and an extra level of versatility on the job site.

“We see significant demand for this type of equipment in France and Germany, and have addressed the needs of those markets in the design of this new model.”
