Hitachi produces their own range of specialist excavators, like the ZX330LC-7 with a telescopic arm which is purpose built for deep foundation excavations. Built upon a modified carrier, the machine is capable of vertical digging to a depth of 30 metres. The new 1:50^th scale die-cast model from Replicars captures all the features and functions of the full-sized machine perfectly, from the extended rear counterweight and the sliding cabin with glazed floor panel, to the working toothed clamshell digging grab. The cabin door can be opened to get a better view of the fully modelled interior and the arm has two stage telescopic movement which is smooth in operation. A must have for any serious Hitachi equipment fan.
