Tata Hitachi EX 215LCQ
Pros
- Powered by a robust Cummins engine (131–133 PS) with proven reliability and good torque delivery.
- Nearly 9 m cutting height and over 9 m reach make it versatile for trenching, truck loading and general excavation.
- Hitachi’s original hydraulic system offers fast, smooth combined operations — e.g., travel + boom/arm, swing + boom — boosting productivity.
Tata Hitachi ZAXIS 870 5G
Pros
- Strong power + high hydraulic flow enables fast, powerful digging cycles and supports heavy attachments.
- Its HIOS IIIB hydraulic system with ECO mode reduces fuel consumption (up to ~4–10% vs older models), lowering operating costs.
- Designed for mining and heavy construction with a strengthened upper structure and reliable undercarriage.
