en.Wedoany.com Reported - Hitachi continues to expand its Dash-7 series product line, officially launching the new mid-sized wheel loaders, the ZW120-7 and ZW140-7, in the United States. This release showcases Hitachi's technological breakthroughs in machine efficiency, safety, and maintainability. As Hitachi plans to rebrand as Landcros in 2027, the engine compartments of these new models now prominently feature the Landcros logo, marking the beginning of the global brand update.

The new ZW120-7 (97 hp) and ZW140-7 (154 hp) wheel loaders are designed for snow removal, utility work, and infrastructure construction. To enhance productivity, the Dash-7 series integrates several advanced technologies: approach speed control reduces pedal operation to alleviate operator fatigue; automatic power boost increases power when it detects a slope, ensuring no loss of speed when climbing. The ZW140-7 is additionally equipped with a payload weighing system, allowing the operator to monitor bucket weight in real-time, preventing overload while accurately recording material handled.

In terms of safety and intelligence, the premium configuration package for these wheel loaders includes a full-angle camera system providing a 270-degree bird's-eye view, along with a rear obstacle detection system featuring automatic deceleration. The cab interior has been ergonomically redesigned, relocating controls to the B-pillar so the operator can access them without looking down, enabling greater focus on the job site. Furthermore, with the ConSite telematics suite, service providers can perform remote diagnostics and software updates, ensuring high reliability and uptime even during demanding operations.
