Built to Work. Backed to Last | Hitachi ZW160-7 Wheel Loader
Machines Built to Work. Service that keeps you moving
Built for loading, handling, and everyday jobsite versatility
The Hitachi ZW160-7 is built for crews that need a wheel loader that stays productive across a wide range of tasks. Whether you are loading material, moving aggregate, handling pallets, or supporting site cleanup, it delivers the power, control, and operator comfort needed to keep work moving.
With 166 horsepower, up to a 3.6 yd³ bucket, and a hydrostatic transmission designed for smooth, easy operation, the ZW160-7 is a strong fit for demanding day-to-day work.
On the job, that means:
• Smooth, controlled loading and carry work
• Strong performance in yards, plants, and mixed jobsite conditions
• A versatile size that balances power with maneuverability
Load, carry, and handle material with smooth, confident control
The ZW160-7 gives operators the confidence to move material efficiently without fighting the machine. Its hydrostatic transmission helps deliver smooth acceleration and precise control, while the larger cab and ergonomic controls help reduce fatigue through long shifts. For contractors, municipalities, material yards, and general site work, it is built to stay productive without overcomplicating the job. Hitachi positions the ZW160-7 around easy control and enhanced performance, with a larger cab and seat-mounted armrests with ergonomic electric hydraulic controls.
Efficient Powertrain
Powered by a 166 HP Cummins engine, the ZW160-7 gives crews the strength to load, move, and carry material with confidence while maintaining smooth performance throughout the workday.
Hydrostatic Transmission
Its easy-to-use hydrostatic transmission helps deliver smoother operation, better control, and easier handling in repetitive loading and travel applications. That makes the machine especially useful where operators need precision and consistency.
Bucket & Breakout Performance
With a bucket capacity range of 2.8 to 3.6 yd³ and 21,950 lbf of breakout force, the ZW160-7 has the capability to stay productive in loading, stockpiling, and material handling applications without stepping into a larger class than many crews need.
Operator Comfort
A larger cab, seat-mounted armrests, and ergonomic electric hydraulic controls help support better visibility, comfort, and confidence behind the controls. That matters when operators are spending full days loading trucks, feeding plants, or moving material around tight sites.
Everyday Versatility
At roughly 28,650 to 29,200 lb operating weight, the ZW160-7 fits the sweet spot for crews that want serious wheel loader capability in a machine that still feels nimble and approachable on mixed-use jobsites.
