Compact ultra-short excavator long on features
Not too big and not too small, the ZX85USB-3 delivers all the power, smoothness, precision, and ease of operation owners and operators expect from the larger Hitachi excavators in an easy-to-maneuver package. It also lets the operator focus on the “business end” of production and worry less about what’s behind. And it reduces the potential for damage to the surrounding area or to the machine itself. Getting closer to the action also eliminates the need for a lot of hand work. Besides steel shoes, it can be fitted with rubber pads or rubber crawler belts. The shape of the backfill blade provides better crowding performance, additional machine stability, and is easier to see by the operator. The swing boom adds yet another dimension of performance by enabling parallel digging to walls, guard rails, and foundations.
At the heart of this excavator is the match of the turbo-charged Isuzu 4LE2X engine and Hitachi’s own patented HIOS III hydraulic system. Rugged and remarkably fuel-efficient, the Isuzu Interim Tier-4-certified engine works very well at high altitudes without sacrificing performance. Regenerative flow on the boom, stick and bucket cylinders result in faster down movements, extremely fine control, and multitasking. The special shape of the ZX85USB-3 cab accommodates the path of the swing boom without sacrificing comfort or convenience. The cab also features a deluxe suspension cloth seat, advanced multilingual LCD monitor, slide-open front glass, and generous leg room.
