Hitachi Construction Machinery customers can now benefit from productivity gains using this new 20t class excavator with a Trimble machine control system in either a 2D or 3D configuration, the company said. The unit also has GradeMax Plus, which allows higher grade quality, 35 to 40 percent faster, in any material type, Trimble said.
The ZX200X-5B excavator, with a Trimble GCS900 2D or 3D Grade Control System, can be ordered directly from Hitachi Construction Machinery for customers in Japan only, the company said.
A 2D Trimble GCS900 Grade Control System, which can be upgraded to a 3D Grade Control System, is an excellent first investment for contractors new to construction technology, the company said.
