Hitachi Compact Excavator ZX30U-5

Engine

• Fuel-efficient Yanmar engine meets EPA Final Tier 4(FT4)/EU Stage IV emission standards provide reliable and powerful performance.

Durable structure and undercarriage

• Unique steel cores within rubber tracks resist cracking, and large-diameter drive sprockets and track idlers make for a rock-solid undercarriage.

• Steel hydraulic lines are clamped securely, and wear resistant hoses are protected with Cordura® covering.

• Heavy-duty X-frame provides a solid, stable platform that resists material buildup.

• Versatile rubber tracks minimize ground damage and allow machines to cross virtually any terrain, including paved surfaces.

• Standard backfill blade adds versatility, enabling these compacts to grade and backfill, as well as provides extra stability.

Hydraulics

• O-ring face-seal hydraulic fittings virtually eliminate aggravating and costly oil leaks.

Simple controls

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

• Easy-to-read upgraded display shows operating information, hours and fuel level at a glance.

• Track speeds automatically slow to low whenever a heavier load is encountered and then return to high when the load normalizes. No pedal or operator activation is required for high-speed travel.

Simple controls

• 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 and includes a sight glass that displays the selected pattern.

• Ergonomically correct short-throw pilot levers provide smooth, precise control with less effort.

• Spacious operator station has a wide entryway, making entering and exiting the cab easy.

• The durable, redesigned cab meets the ISO standard for rollover protective structure (ROPS) certification.

Easy to maintain

• Routine checks such as engine oil level are quickly accomplished from ground level. Convenient lube/maintenance chart helps ensure that nothing gets overlooked.

• Hydraulic fluid sight gauge and see-through coolant reservoir let you quickly check levels at a glance.

• Spin-on filters make fluid changes quick, and extended oil intervals let you work longer.

• Side-by-side cooling cores resist trash buildup, and an additional steel door provides improved access for efficient cleaning.
