2018 Hitachi Construction Machinery Compact Excavators ZX50U-5

The ZX50U-5 is small and compact and gives you huge performance on all kinds of jobs. Weve reduced the size and footprint without sacrificing the Hitachi qualities youve come to expect efficiency, reliability and durability.

By talking and listening to owners like you, weve taken the ZX50U-5 to a whole new level by adding real-world practical improvements. You get a more spacious cab with wider, easier entry and better visibility; a fuel-efficient and reliable engine that meets emission standard;, and maintenance thats easier than ever thanks to enhancements such as improved access to coolers.

Features may include:

• The Yanmar diesel engine meets EPA Final Tier 4 (FT4)/EU Stage IV emission regulations. Its easy to maintain and requires no special additional fluids just ultra-low-sulfur diesel fuel and CJ-4 engine oil.

• FT4 technology employs field-proven cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) for reducing NOX, and a diesel particulate filter (DPF) and diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) to reduce particulate matter.

• Match engine speed to the job with power/economy work modes. Choose the power mode and get higher engine speeds for most general digging work. For lighter digging jobs, the economy mode reduces engine speed and noise, and lowers fuel costs.

• Although not a replacement for a grading tractor, standard backfill blades let this excavator fill-in quite capably. An optional all-hydraulic blade angles 25 degrees, left or right, for even more efficient grading and backfilling.

• The rubber tracks traverse virtually any terrain, including paved surfaces. Also available are steel tracks and steel tracks with rubber pads. The optional rubber grousers combine work-anywhere flexibility with steel-track serviceability.

• Heavy-duty X-frame provides a solid, stable platform that resists material and dirt build-up.

• With plenty of lift height and reach, getting up and over truck sideboards is all in a days work.

• Standard quick-coupler equipped boom-mounted auxiliary hydraulic lines make attachment hook-up a snap. Wedge-style coupler enables quick changes and a wide variety of buckets and attachments, such as breakers and augers.

• Single-pin swing-post increases boom stiffness, enhancing the structural integrity of the digging components. Wear-resistant hoses are routed for protection and Cordura-wrapped where exposed.

• Heavy-duty shields deflect material and impacts, protecting the boom/blade cylinders and drive motors.

• Go from backhoe- to excavator-style controls with just a twist of your wrist. Control-pattern selector valve is conveniently located in a compartment beneath the seat.

• Ergonomic short-throw pilot control levers provide smooth, predictable low-effort fingertip operation.

• Swing boom and foldable travel pedals are positioned where theyre easy to operate, yet allow plenty of foot room.

• No operator activation required for high-speed travel. Track speeds automatically slow to low whenever the travel motors encounter a heavier load. Includes a console-mounted, low-speed lock switch.
