Hitachi ZX160LC-6 and ZX180LC-6 specifications
Which dash-6 brochure matches the excavator?
The ZX160LC-6 and ZX180LC-6 comparison needs an edition check before an equipment decision. Hitachi's November 2017 brochure describes HIOS III hydraulics for both. The January 2019 revision distinguishes HIOS IV on the 160 from HIOS III on the 180.
The model names stayed the same. A common dash number therefore does not establish identical hydraulic management on every machine advertised under it.
The earlier brochure describes an emissions arrangement using cooled exhaust-gas recirculation, an oxidation catalyst and selective catalytic reduction. No particulate filter is required for that arrangement. DEF is still present in its refill schedule; “no DPF” does not mean “no aftertreatment fluid.” The cab monitor offers programmed attachment operation and oil-flow adjustment.
Proportional fingertip attachment control was optional, so inspect the actual joystick before assuming a machine has it.

The 160's shorter arm gives more arm crowd force; the longer arm extends reach and digging depth. Bucket force stays the same in the manufacturer's paired-arm schedule. Those are different tradeoffs.
Treating the whole table as one interchangeable digging envelope would promise the long arm's reach and the short arm's force together.
Transport height is also measured with the front attachment arranged for transport, not at the cab roof. The 180's longer arm has a higher overall transport envelope even though the cab itself has not changed height. Track shoe width then changes overall transport width.
Specify arm and shoes when requesting a haul measurement.
The 2019 weight schedules include fuel, an operator, bucket and counterweight. Their operating masses differ from the earlier brochure's entries, so both edition conditions remain visible. Neither schedule describes an empty machine with the attachment removed.
Main-pump delivery is listed per pump; hydraulic-tank refill is a volume. The earlier comparison had treated the tank's figure as a pump-flow rating.

For the short-arm 180 on the specified shoes, the lift table separates forward lifting from lifting over the side. At the same height and radius the permissible load can differ. The chart also distinguishes hydraulic limits from stability limits.
Cable and hook weight belong in the lifted total. Select the column for the real lift direction and the row for the load point; digging force cannot substitute for a lifting rating.
