ZW50‑5b / ZW80‑5bFIRST FORRELIABILITYRenowned for reliability, Hitachi ZW-5b wheel loaders achieve exceptional levelsof performance and efficiency with minimum downtime. The ZW50-5b / ZW80-5bhave been designed with several user-friendly features that ensure quick and easymaintenance, and also contribute to lower running costs.Minimal downtimeThe battery compartment can be accessedeasily for maintenance and batteryreplacement. This results in minimaldowntime and a high level of accessibility.Quick accessDaily maintenance is simplified with thewide-open engine cover and low-profilecounterweight. The engine cover can beopened at a touch and held with a gasdamper for quick inspection, replacement,and replenishment.Improved fuel efficiencyThe ZW-5b demonstrates greater fuelefficiency than the previous model duringV-shape loading and load and carry6operations. This results in considerablesavings for running costs.Easy maintenanceFor safer and easier maintenance, the batterydisconnect switch is now standard. Thishelps to avoid electrical accidents and retainbattery energy during long-term storage.Battery electrolyte level can be checkedat a glance through an opening in thecounterweight (ZW80-5b).Reduced costThe new Tier 4 Final certified engine doesnot require a diesel particulate filter, whichfurther reduces fuel consumption andmaintenance costs.ZW50-5bEasy access to the enginecompartment.
