Pumps, Motors, and Control Valves

Comprehensive Hitachi Power Hydraulics Service

Comprehensive power hydraulics service for Hitachi machines at WIBAKO includes precise diagnostics, sealing, and complete remanufacturing of piston pumps, swing and travel motors, as well as multi-section main control valves. We repair TRIAS I/II/III and HIOS III/IV series hydraulic systems used in equipment ranging from ZX33U-5 mini-excavators to heavy-duty ZX490LCH-6 demolition excavators. Every reconditioned hydraulic pump and motor undergoes mandatory load testing on WIBAKO’s stationary load test bench, ensuring full recovery of nominal operating pressure (34.3–38.0 MPa) and factory displacement before component installation on the machine.

 

Comprehensive Hydraulic Pump Repair

Diagnostics and Remanufacturing of Kawasaki/Hitachi Main Pumps

The heart of the hydraulic system in Hitachi crawler and wheel excavators consists of dual- or triple-section variable displacement multi-piston pumps. In machines such as the Hitachi ZX210LC-5, ZX250LC-6, or ZX300LC-7, Kawasaki / Hitachi HPV118, HPV102, and HPV145 series units are most commonly used, along with K3V63, K3V112DTP, and K5V140 series pumps.
Progressive wear of rotating components caused by degraded oil, contamination, or system overheating leads to reduced efficiency, high-pressure line vibrations, and a characteristic loud whining noise from the pump under load.
At WIBAKO’s stationary workshop, the Hitachi main pump rebuilding process follows a strict technological regime:

Verification and Micro-Measurements: The removed component is disassembled and cleaned in ultrasonic cleaners. We measure the wear of the rotor (cylinder block), pistons, valve plate (control plate), piston shoes, and swashplate liner.

Replacement of Working Parts: Worn components are replaced with brand-new precision parts of the highest quality standard. We replace the complete set of Viton seals, main shaft bearings, and swashplate tilt control components.

Pressure and Flow Regulator Remanufacturing: We equip and calibrate LS control valves and torque limiters, which ensure smooth power division between hydraulics and the Isuzu 4HK1/6HK1 engine.

 

Mechanics with Many Years of Experience

Service and Relief Valves Repair

Multi-section main control valves installed in Hitachi excavators (responsible for controlling the boom, arm, bucket, and swing cylinders) are complex valve blocks working with very tight spool clearances. In TRIAS II and TRIAS III systems, even minimal internal spool leakage causes arm drift or an inability to perform compound movements.
We resolve issues with jerky attachment operation, lack of Power Boost function, and external leaks through:

Precision grinding and fitting of control spools to the valve body

Replacement and adjustment of main relief valves

Remanufacturing and calibration of holding and anti-shock valve sections, protecting cylinders against pressure spikes

 

 

Comprehensive Hydraulic Motor Repair

Repair of Swing Motors and Final Drives (Hydraulic Motors)

Problems with machine movement - e.g., drop in track pull force on Hitachi ZX130-5, machine pulling to one side, or inability to swing the upper structure with a full bucket on a slope - usually result from damaged travel or swing hydraulic motors.
At WIBAKO, we perform complete repairs of HMGF series piston hydraulic motors and travel motors with integrated planetary gearboxes (final drives) from Nabtesco, Kayaba, and Teijin Seiki:


Swing Motors: We replace valve plates, multi-disc brakes, and repair drive pinion shafts powering the swing gear ring.


Final Drives: We remanufacture two-speed piston motors, replace planet gears, planetary carriers, and Duo-Cone floating seals, preventing gear oil leaks and ingress of construction site dust.

 

Comprehensive Combustion Engine Overhauls

Overhauls and Service of Isuzu and Yanmar Internal Combustion Engines in Hitachi Machinery

Engine service at WIBAKO includes comprehensive diagnostics of Common Rail systems, routine maintenance of engine accessories, and major overhauls of Isuzu and Yanmar power units installed in Hitachi machinery. We service Isuzu 4HK1, 6HK1, 4JJ1, and Yanmar 3TNV/4TNV engines, found in excavators and loaders from the ZX19U-6 model to heavy ZX690LCH-7 machines. Every engine after repair undergoes mandatory startup and testing on a stationary engine dynamometer, where we verify actual power, torque, compression pressure, and exhaust emission parameters under full operating load.

 

Operational Specifics and Challenges

Isuzu Power Units in Hitachi Equipment

Japanese Isuzu diesel engines form the backbone of most medium and heavy Hitachi Zaxis crawler and wheel excavators (e.g., ZX140W-6, ZX210LC-6, ZX290LC-5, ZX350LC-6). These are structurally advanced units meeting strict emission standards, equipped with Common Rail injection systems, variable geometry turbochargers, EGR exhaust gas recirculation systems, and DPF/SCR particulate filters.

 

 

Comprehensive Overhaul of Internal Combustion Engines

Scope of Isuzu Engine Major Overhaul at WIBAKO

At the WIBAKO stationary workshop, the engine rebuilding process is carried out in strict compliance with the manufacturer’s original factory procedures and technical specifications:

Disassembly and Dimensional Inspection: The engine is completely disassembled down to individual components. We perform micrometric measurements of cylinder liner ovalization and wear, crankshaft journal wear, engine block alignment, and cylinder head mating surface flatness.

Machining: We perform engine block machining, crankshaft grinding combined with selecting the appropriate undersize main and con-rod bearings, as well as complete cylinder head reconditioning.

Fuel and Turbocharger System Reconditioning: We recondition or replace Denso high-pressure fuel pumps and injectors, generating new IMA/QR calibration codes. The turbocharger undergoes high-speed balancing and VGT actuator calibration.

Component Assembly: We reassemble the engine using brand-new pistons, rings, gaskets, and bearings, applying precise tightening torques for cylinder head bolts and connecting rod caps using torque and angle wrenches.

Performance Guarantee

Load Testing on a Stationary Hydraulic Test Bench

The biggest hallmark of our service is eliminating the risk of installing an untested component. No hydraulic pump or motor from Hitachi leaves our facility without a full inspection on a stationary test bench. During the bench test, we simulate real-world operating conditions, bringing the hydraulic oil up to an operating temperature of 50–60°C. We measure actual volumetric and mechanical efficiency, check the sensitivity of pressure regulators, and verify the absence of leaks at pressures reaching up to 40.0 MPa. Along with the reconditioned pump, the customer receives an official report complete with flow and pressure charts, guaranteeing that the equipment can immediately take on heavy-duty construction work right after installation.

Which Hitachi machines do you service?

We service the full range of Hitachi construction and demolition equipment. In our stationary workshop and via our mobile service, we repair mini-excavators (including the ZX17U, ZX33U, and ZX55U), wheeled excavators (e.g., ZX140W-6, ZX190W-5, ZX210W-7), medium and heavy crawler excavators (from the ZX130 and ZX210LC up to the ZX490LCH and ZX890LCH), ZW-series wheel loaders, and older EX-series excavators (e.g., EX120, EX200, EX300).

How does hydraulic and engine testing on the WIBAKO dynamometer differ from a standard startup?

A load dynamometer test simulates real, heavy-duty machine operation under controlled workshop conditions. Simply starting an engine or running a pump "at idle" fails to reveal internal leaks and pressure drops that only occur once the oil reaches operating temperature. On the WIBAKO test bench, we measure actual volumetric flow rate, pressure, and system tightness, providing the customer with an official test report complete with performance charts.

Does the WIBAKO mobile service travel directly to a job site for a Hitachi excavator breakdown?

Yes, our fleet of mobile service units reaches machines directly on-site across the whole of Poland. Our field technicians are equipped with computerized diagnostic tools, high-pressure gauges, and field-repair equipment. They perform fault diagnostics, sealing repairs, pressure adjustments, and disassemble damaged pumps or engines for workshop overhaul.
