Tata Hitachi’s Global Initiative, the ZAXIS GI Series Hydraulic Excavators are being showcased at EXCON 2015 in tune with its ‘Make in India’ initiative. With the launch of the ZAXIS GI series, the Indian construction scenario would take a quantum leap into a new dimension of excavation work in mining and infrastructure sectors. As a corollary to this, the Zaxis GI series of excavators will mark the beginning of a new era for Tata Hitachi as this range will cater to the Indian as well as the global construction equipment markets through exports as part of our overall Make in India program.
Tata Hitachi, being Hydraulic Excavators, also pioneered the compact excavator segment in India, with the introduction of TMX20 in the year 1999. TMX20, the only mini excavator of two tons operating weight, designed and manufactured in India, is successfully working in a variety of applications across the length and breadth of this country with a cumulative population of around 2000 units. And now, with a host of value added contemporary features and upgrades, the new Super series of TMX20, was launched at EXCON 2015.
Some of the hall marks of this new, improved mini marvel include:
Superior Hydraulics – Load independent flow control allows easy, smooth combined operations
Unparalleled Versatility – Boom swivel, Dozer blade attachment and a variety of bucket options
Power Optimisation – Economy & Power Mode indicator labels, enabling operator to set the throttle lever in the right power band
Efficiency Boosters – Ergonomically designed operator station, improved aesthetics and all new operator seat with weight adjustment, Seat belt for Operator’s Safety, metallic canopy
Data report service – Lets customers visualize operational status of machines and monitor machines day to day operation status in order to maintain optimum efficiency and performance.
Alarm report – If the machines alarm goes off and the problem requires urgent attention to the prevent downtime, an emergency alarm report will be sent to the registered email address.
Monthly report – A detailed report of the operational status for each machine will be sent to the registered email address on a monthly basis.
Speaking on the occasion Mr. Sandeep Singh, Managing Director, Tata Hitachi, said “While passion for customer and production excellence will continue to be our driving force, we will strive to become a truly global manufacturing and development hub apart from excelling in the domestic arena”.

HIOS-III (Human & Intelligent Operation System), which is the latest in Hydraulic Technology offering from Hitachi across the globe, coupled with a powerful engine, not only delivers higher production in tight job schedules, but also improves fuel efficiency by 10%. Features such as auto idle, power modes, work modes and longer change intervals of consumables enable the customers in achieving significant savings in operating costs.
ZAXIS GI series features such as on board ICX (Data Controller) and Global e- service, enable data downloads, machine location identification, machine maintenance and performance monitoring by the customer. However, what puts Zaxis GI series ahead of its contemporaries is ConSite, next-generation service solution utilizing ICT. ConSite closely monitors machines’ operational status and alarms, has optimally tuned machines to meet customers’ specific needs by sending monthly operational reports and notifying emergency alarms via email.
Furthermore, these machines give customers an opportunity to work in compact areas where traditional machines can’t work. It is designed for quality, comfort, safety, reliability and durability. The machine is designed to work in various rural applications like sand loading, land development, rural roads, river bed excavation, tractor trolley loading, minor excavation, drip irrigation channels, farm bund formation, PMGSY rural roads, brick kilns, tree uprooting and various urban applications like municipal application, building foundation, construction sites, loading at crushers, mini excavation jobs, demolition, road widening, solid waste handling, truck unloading, solar panel foundation, dump yard, tunneling.
Mr. Shin Nakajima, Director, Sales, Marketing & Customer Support said “We are taking rapid strides to contribute towards the growth of the Indian construction equipment and mining industry and our endeavor shall be total customer satisfaction at all times.”
