Hitachi introduced its new Dash 7 wheel loaders this year at Conexpo.
Product manager Matt Koester sat down with Construction Equipment to talk about the new cab and its amenities, onboard payload weighing, safety systems, and more. This ZW220, part of the company's medium range, has a four cubic-yard bucket and is powered by a Cummins engine.
A 270-degree camera system with rear object detection is an option for the model.
