The ZX250LC-7 SLF and the ZX350LC-7 SLF are engineered to meet the needs of specialized construction sites.

Hitachi Construction Machinery Americas announced the launch of two Super Long Front (SLF) excavator models: the ZX250LC-7 SLF and the ZX350LC-7 SLF. The 25-ton and 35-ton class machines are engineered to meet the needs of specialized construction sites and come equipped with a genuine Hitachi bucket while offering unparalleled reach and depth capabilities.

The ZX250LC-7 SLF has a ground level reach of 59 ft. 8 in. (18.19 m) and a digging depth of 47 ft. 4 in. (14.43 m), while the ZX350LC-7 SLF extends further with a ground level reach of 71 ft. 11 in. (21.92 m) and a digging depth of 57 ft. (17.38 m). These capabilities make the new SLF models ideal for a range of applications, including dredging, barge and waterway operations, roadwork, agricultural and dairy projects, and site cleanup.

Designed with stability, safety, and controllability at the forefront, both models feature an enlarged counterweight providing operators with enhanced control of the super long arm for steady performance during operations. A dedicated swing motor enhances responsiveness, ensuring precise maneuverability in challenging environments.

Additionally, the versatile dig end dimensions are compatible with a variety of bucket and attachment types, enabling these machines to tackle diverse tasks with ease. The new SLF excavators are engineered to efficiently cover and reach distant, confined work areas, providing superior adaptability on specialized job sites, according to the manufacturer.
