Demolition work involves a lot of falling dust, metal and concrete. These excavators are built with a number of special features to protect both the operator and the machine itself. These features include head guards and front guards to protect the cabin from falling debris, and undercarriage guards to prevent metal from getting caught in the crawler. Both the Hitachi Zaxis ZX1000K-3 2PB and the Hitachi Zaxis ZX1000K-3 40m-HL provide demolition from a safe distance. These models replicate these powerful machines down to the authentic working movements, the ladders and railings, a full compliment of mirrors, lights and wipers, and the Hitachi Zaxis color scheme and logos.

NZG features models of heavy construction equipment and heavy transport equipment primarily in 1:50 scale. NZG is synonymous with quality; their models are well built and finely detailed. You can find these models at 3000toys.com available for pre-order. Be sure to check out the rest of the summer arrivals as well.
