Enhanced Features on Zaxis 5N Compact Excavators

Feb 12, 2025
Hitachi Construction Machinery Americas continues to add new features to enhance the performance and comfort of ZAXIS-5N compact excavators ranging from 1.10 to 6.61 U.S. tons (1.7 to 6 metric tons). These compact excavators excel in applications where there is not a lot of space to maneuver. A short tail swing radius (U) or ultra-short tail swing radius with swing boom (USB) makes it easier to work around buildings, walls, guardrails and other structures.

ZAXIS-5N excavators have been upgraded with LED work lights that provide enhanced visibility in low-light conditions, improving operator comfort and safety. Ergonomic hydraulic pilot valve control levers reduce fatigue and provide smooth control. Hydraulic pilot controls for the bucket/thumb and other attachments, boom, swing, travel, and blade maximize controllability and ensure smooth operation. Swing boom and foldable travel pedals are positioned for easy operation while allowing plenty of foot room.
