The Zaxis 50U-2 is currently the largest compact excavator Hitachi offers in North America. Popular with contractors, it is nimble, powerful, and designed to keep its tail close to its tracks rather than bashing into fences or walls.
It has fast cycle times and plenty of drawbar pull to increase productivity. Automatic shifting between high and low travel speeds allows the machine to automatically shift into low when more power is needed. A long arm and heavy counterweight option provides an additional foot of dig depth and reach while maintaining excellent stability.
Although small in size and footprint, it has the same distinctive big-boy qualities Hitachi users expect: long life, smooth hydraulics, multifunction operations, steel covers, reinforced D-channel frame, lubricant-impregnated HN bushings, and a box-section frame. The counterweight is large while the undercarriage is weighted to lower the centre of gravity and increase stability. The auto-idle feature reduces fuel consumption. The manual quick-coupler makes fast work of bucket and attachment switchovers.Hitachi #1077Zero-tail-swing model stable, comfortable, easy to maintainThe model 2803ZT zero-tail-swing excavator offers stability, a large, comfortable operator’s station and easy access to maintenance points.Eliminating rear overhang is the main ambition of the agile zero-tail-swing design. However, the 2803ZT goes a step farther by enhancing stability with a longer undercarriage. The slim machine offers a sturdy track width and optional counterweight, creating an even more stable excavator. Transport by trailer is possible with the new compact excavator, thanks to its low weight.
