MOLINE, ILLINOIS (January 11, 2008) - Hitachi Construction Products will roll out two new excavators at ConExpo 2008, as well as showcase the company’s ZXLink™ telematics machine monitoring system.

Located in the North Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center, Booth N-1541, Hitachi will display the new reduced-tail-swing ZX135US-3 and the new ZX200W-3 wheeled excavator equipped with a wrist attachment. In addition to these new models, there will be a ZX350LC-3 and the large, 84-metric-ton ZX850LC-3 equipped with the Ultimate version of ZXLink.

ZX135US-3
The ZX135US-3 replaces the 135US. Incorporating Tier-3 emission standards, the new 135 comes with the CRES II cab which is larger than before and has a wider seatback, more legroom, and more glass on the right-hand side for improved visibility. Low-effort, short-throw levers are easy to use. This fingertip control also reduces operator fatigue. The multilingual widescreen LCD color monitor provides maintenance, attachment, and operational information. An optional air-suspension heated seat is also available.

The cab is prepped for auxiliary hydraulics. Thanks to regenerative hydraulics, arm roll-in and the boom lower/arm movement are faster. Travel speed has been increased. Multifunction operations are smoother than ever because of the HIOS III system which further enhances the precise, smooth control for which Hitachi excavators have been known.

The new ZX135US-3 also has greater horsepower and excellent fuel economy. Some of the retained features that help reduce operating costs include WC thermal spraying (tungsten carbide) at the arm-bucket joint for greater wear resistance at its contact surface with the bucket and HN bushings.

ZX220W-3
The new ZX220W-3 is also a Tier-3 compliant excavator that comes with wheels, not tracks. Mobile and maneuverable, it can quickly cruise from spot to spot and is pavement-friendly.

In addition to the new CRES II cab and other reliability- and power-boosting improvements common to all Dash-3 excavators, the ZX220W-3 has increased the maximum travel speed, provided greater acceleration performance, and widened the oscillation angle of the axles for a smoother ride over rougher terrain. Greater stability ensures that this machine can move Jersey barriers without the need to extend outriggers. The machine can be customized with a variety of boom, blade, outrigger, and bucket options.

ZXLink-equipped ZX850LC-3
Hitachi’s large ZX850LC-3 will be equipped with the Ultimate version of Hitachi’s ZXLink telematics machine monitoring system. Available in three levels — Standard, Advanced, and Ultimate — the Ultimate version comes standard on the Dash-3 ZX450, 650, and 850 excavators, with three years of service included in the price of the machine, when purchased from an authorized Hitachi dealer.

The Deere-Hitachi relationship
Hitachi and Deere will share the same booth space at ConExpo 2008. While the origins of the Deere-Hitachi relationship can be traced back to the 1960s, the two companies have maintained a joint marketing agreement since 2002. Hitachi sales, marketing, and many product-support activities in the Americas are managed by the Construction & Forestry Division of John Deere. Hitachi excavators are distributed and sold throughout the U.S. and Canada by a growing number of dealership locations.

Deere and Hitachi produce excavators at their Kernersville, North Carolina, factory — a 50/50 joint venture established in 1988. The Hitachi models produced there are the ZX200LC-3, ZX240LC-3, ZX270LC-3, and ZX350LC-3 units. All other Hitachi-branded construction excavators are produced in Japan. The purpose-built Forester models are produced at a Deere-Hitachi jointly owned plant in Langley, British Columbia.

Hitachi also sells rigid-frame mining trucks and mining shovels. Trucks from the 40- to 350-ton class are made in Guelph, Ontario. The huge mining shovels and backhoes are produced in Japan.

As space allocation gets underway for bauma China 2008, it is already clear that a new record will be set for exhibitor numbers. In 2006, a total of 1,088 international exhibitors put on presentations in the SNIEC (Shanghai New International Expo Centre), but for this year´s event in November, bauma China is set to welcome at least 1,150 exhibitors, thanks to the expansion in space. This renewed expansion and the broad product range at bauma China reflects the continuously rising demand for construction machinery, building materials machinery, construction vehicles and equipment in Asia. Visitor interest is expected to focus in particular on the range of building materials machinery at the fair, not least because the Chinese and Indian economies are currently enjoying double-digit growth, with similar potential being predicted for the coming years in the building materials sector.

According to the Confederation of Indian Industries (CII), the construction industry is one of the main engines of growth in the Indian economy. By the year 2012 alone, a total of $500 billion is being invested in infrastructure projects. By far the largest proportion of this is earmarked for improving the road network, and building new roads. In parallel with this, investment is also continuing apace in commercial and residential construction.
An important measure of construction activity is cement production. According to the Cement Manufacturers Association India was the second biggest consumer of cement last year after China. For the current year the association expects demand to be around 175 million tonnes.

A reorientation in the Asian building materials machinery market
This building boom is also being felt in China: According to Chinese statistics, in 2006 around 50 percent of the worldwide consumption of cement was accounted for by the Peoples´ Republic, as well as 30 percent of total iron consumption and 15 percent of total energy consumption. At the same time, by 2010 the aim is for energy consumption to decrease by 20 percent and emissions of dangerous greenhouse gases by ten percent. This ambition presents the international exhibitors with the same challenges on Asian markets as they are facing on European and American markets. Namely, that in terms of both product innovation and optimisation, what is needed are new techniques and a reorientation on the part of both manufacturers and users. Automated processes, for example, increase the quality of aerated concrete and sand-lime bricks, thus avoiding wastage in the production process. Expensive soil replacement, too, can be avoided through the use of new machinery, attachments and building materials, with the result that emissions are reduced because less material needs to be transported away from the site.

bauma China devotes plenty of space to building materials machinery
What will be the building materials machinery manufacturers’ response to on the one hand rapidly expanding markets, and on the other the need to save machinery and resources? The place to find out is the fourth bauma China, from 21 to 24 November 2008 in Shanghai. Now that the exhibition space has been extended to 188,000 square metres, there is capacity to take at least 1,150 exhibitors at the SNIEC. Accordingly, individual sections at the trade fair will have more space available to them, especially on the open-air site. The building materials machinery section in particular will be taking up around 40,000 square metres of space. Thus bauma China will be able to meet part of the great demand from its exhibitors and integrate a number of new exhibitors.
