Hitachi Construction Machinery Americas ZAXIS-5N compact excavators range from 1.7 to 6 metric tons (1.10 to 6.61 U.S. tons) and have been upgraded to enhance attachment versatility and performance. Operators can more efficiently complete work in congested urban areas thanks to the maneuverability of these compact machines that feature either a short-tail swing radius (U) or ultra-short-tail swing radius with swing boom (USB). These machines can set up and work almost anywhere.
ZAXIS-5N compact excavators are commonly used as tool carriers with a wide range of attachments, increasing job site versatility. Several features enhance attachment compatibility. For instance, standard auxiliary hydraulic lines have been pre-plumbed to the end of the boom on the ZX17U-5N and to the middle of the arm on the ZX26U-5N to ZX60USB-5N. A standard wedge lock quick coupler makes attachment hookup a snap. Afactory-installed bracket for a thumb cylinder simplifies thumb installation.
The Hitachi Construction Machinery Americas ZX30U-5N and ZX35U-5N compact excavators have been updated to include an auxiliary flow rate change switch for additional attachment flexibility. The operator can match the flow rate of the auxiliary hydraulic circuit to the requirements of the attachment being used with either a low or high setting.
An available auxiliary function lever (AFL) includes an analog switch, trigger switch and horn for running attachments such as a breaker or an attachment with swing.
A standard dozer blade enables the ZAXIS-5N series to grade while providing extra stability. An optional angle blade is available on the ZX35U-5N, ZX50U-5N and ZX60USB-5N excavators.
