Hitachi Construction Machinery’s ZAXIS-7 compact excavators – the ZX75US-7 and ZX85USB-7 – have been enthusiastically embraced by, and are right at home with, Australian operators.
Hitachi Construction Machinery (Australia) Pty Ltd (HCA) unveiled two new ZAXIS-7 compact excavators last year, each designed to enhance productivity in contemporary urban construction sites.
The ZX75US-7 boasts an ultra-short tailswing radius, enabling easy access to tight spaces, while the ZX85USB-7, equipped with a swing boom, efficiently excavates near walls and guard rails.
Reaction and acceptance from industry has been strong – nearly as strong as the ZAXIS-7s themselves.
Well received
The machines are powered by reliable Yanmar diesel engines equipped with proven turbocharging technology.
This environmentally friendly engine meets EPA final Tier 4/EU Stage V emissions standards, with diesel particulate filter, EGR and common rail to help further reduce emissions. The machines also feature a versatile power/economy work mode that adapts the machine’s performance to the specific task at hand. In power mode, the engine operates at higher speeds to deliver additional horsepower when necessary, whereas the economy mode optimises fuel efficiency by reducing engine speed during regular operations. On top of that, both machines are equipped with a built-in autoidle system, which automatically reduces the engine to an idling speed if all control levers remain in a neutral position for more than four seconds. Once the levers are reactivated, the engine quickly returns to the previously chosen speed.
This feature not only helps in reducing noise and exhaust emissions but also plays a pivotal role in energy conservation and cost savings for operations.
Any wonder the ZAXIS-7s have been so well received.
