Increase Fuel Efficiency Comfort and Uptime with a Hitachi Compact Excavator

Operator comfort is key to productivity. Ergonomic hydraulic pilot valve control levers reduce operator fatigue and provide smooth control. Full 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.

Spacious operator stations have wide entryways, making entering and exiting the cab safe and easy. A 3-inch seatbelt provides additional comfort for operators.

Durability Built In

Compact excavators in the Hitachi Construction Machinery Americas lineup are built to the same durability standards as the larger machines that operate in the toughest conditions. The ZAXIS-5N compact excavators feature a V-shaped boom cylinder guard and protected hoses on the boom and arm.

The ZX30U-5N to ZX60USB-5N feature a D-frame that protects the underside of the revolving platform from damage in demanding applications.

Maintenance Made Easy

Routine checks, such as engine oil level, are quickly accomplished from ground level. Daily maintenance points are grouped behind easy-access covers. Spin-on filters provide quick, easy access for filter maintenance. Ground-level at-a-glance gauges ease daily inspection and servicing.

The top of the track frame on Hitachi Construction Machinery Americas models from ZX30U-5N to ZX60USB-5N has been sloped for easy mud removal. Grease-impregnated HN bushings and pins provide 500-hour lubricating intervals.

To reduce the cost of repair, the traditional curved glass used in the cab has been exchanged with more easily obtainable flat glass.

The updated ZX30U-5N to ZX60USB-5N compact excavators are now prewired for compatibility with the fleet's existing telematics system. They can be connected to Global e-Service, which remotely monitors operational status and alerts owners to upcoming maintenance and repair needs from fault codes. The hour meter and machine position information captured allows for better fleet management.

All Hitachi compact excavators ZAXIS-5N now come with a battery disconnect switch that prevents battery discharge during long-term storage. This eliminates the need to disconnect battery cables and avoids unanticipated downtime.
