Which Hitachi Excavator Should You Choose?

The ZX470LC-5A sits between the construction class and the heavy quarry class — when the ZX670LC-5A is no longer powerful enough, but moving to a 40-tonne machine is not justified.

Cost of Ownership — Hitachi ZX470LC-5A

The true cost of owning an excavator is made up of several factors — the purchase price is just one of them.

⛽ Fuel consumption ECO mode reduces consumption relative to PWR mode. The 630 l tank supports extended operation between refuelling stops.
🔧 Scheduled maintenance Long service intervals: hydraulic oil at 4,000 h. All service points accessible from ground level — downtime is minimal.
🛡 Component life Tungsten carbide (WC) thermal spray on bucket pin contact surfaces reduces wear and prevents play. HN bushings improve grease retention and extend the re-greasing interval.
📦 Spare parts Genuine parts through the Hitachi global network — over 1 million part numbers. Local Wayland Armenia stock reduces lead times.
📡 Fleet monitoring Global e-Service and ConSite — remote tracking of operating hours, fuel consumption, and system status. Scheduled maintenance is never missed.
📈 Productivity The 2.9 m³ bucket and recirculation-assisted cycle directly affect cost per tonne moved.

We can model the configuration and ownership cost for your specific operating conditions.

Isuzu GH-6UZ1XKSA-01: rated power 257 kW (345 hp) at 2,000 rpm per ISO 14396. Maximum torque 1,363 N·m at 1,500 rpm. 6-cylinder, 9.839 l displacement, turbocharged with intercooler.
Two buckets are available: 1.45 m³ for materials up to 2,000 kg/m³ and 2.9 m³ for materials up to 1,600 kg/m³. Both capacities are ISO heaped.
With the 3.20 m arm: maximum digging depth — 7,390 mm, maximum digging reach — 11,430 mm, maximum dump height — 8,050 mm.
Road construction, large-scale earthworks, quarry operations (truck loading, bench excavation), heavy and rocky ground work, and attachment operation (hydraulic breakers, shears, crushers).
Yes. At 46.4 t with ~350 kN breakout force and a 2.9 m³ bucket, the ZX470LC-5A is effective in medium-duty quarry work: bench excavation, loading 30–50 t dump trucks, and face clean-up.
For dense ground and rocky material, the 1.45 m³ bucket is recommended (rated up to 2,000 kg/m³). The 2.9 m³ bucket is suited to material up to 1,600 kg/m³. Wayland Armenia can advise on the optimum configuration.
Yes. The ZX470LC-5A accepts hydraulic breakers for 25–36 t carriers. Wayland Armenia supplies DandA DX-series breakers. Switching to breaker mode is done through the multifunction display with preset hydraulic modes.
The ZX470LC-5A is heavier (46.4 t vs 38.2 t), more powerful (272 hp vs 181 hp) and carries a larger bucket (2.9 m³ vs 1.3 m³). Choose the ZX470LC-5A for dense ground, loading large dump trucks, or quarry work.
The ZX670LC-5A weighs 66.8–68.2 t and has a reinforced LCH undercarriage for sustained heavy quarry duty. The ZX470LC-5A is the optimum choice when the ZX670LC-5A is insufficient but a 40-tonne machine is excessive.
