The Hitachi ZW180PL is a large capacity ITC that can boast of a parallel linkage loader arm – a design that’s perfect for applications that call for super-precise control over attachments, lots of lifting power, and rock solid performance every time. Building on the success of it’s little sibling the ZW150PL, this one brings a whole lot more mojo, delivering a bigger punch when it comes to payload handling and power, all while keeping the excellent levelling accuracy that you’ve come to expect from Hitachi.
Its powered by a big, torque-rich, fuel-sipping Hitachi diesel engine that gives you the steady oomph needed to push hard, respond quickly and move loads around with ease, efficiency and speed. The parallel linkage system is key here because it simply keeps the forks or bucket in perfect level, even when you’re raising or lowering them, which means it’s a natural fit for things like pallet handling, material stacking, truck loading, and all the hard work that goes on in industrial sites.
With it’s articulated steering and equal weight distribution, you can operate in a tiny space, or even in a busy warehouse, with complete confidence. And then of course there’s the cab – a really spacious and well thought out space with loads of visibility, easy controls and a working environment that really is made for the long haul.
And let’s not forget the simple matters – smooth hydraulic control and a ride control system that will keep things steady and prevent you getting worn out on the job. After all, repetitive loading tasks can wear you down, but with the ZW180PL on the job, you’ve got the power to really take control.
This is a machine that’s designed to last, built with tough reinforced structures, heavy-duty axles and simple access for maintenance, so you can be sure of maximum uptime. Powerful, precise and easy to use, it’s the Hitachi ZW180PL – a smart choice for any contractor or hire fleet looking for an integrated tool carrier that can handle big loads and give them total control.
