ZX85US-5A Hitachi excavator specs & Dimensions (2013 - 2019)

Maintenance

Carrying out routine maintenance is essential for the optimum performance of any Hitachi excavator. After considering the needs of our customers, Hitachi engineers designed the new ZAXIS 85US with several features that make daily checks, cleaning and servicing easier than ever. Some items have been repositioned for your convenience, and access to others has been improved, so the maintenance process is more simple and faster than ever before. This gives you more time to focus on the work you enjoy.

Easy access

The new ZAXIS range of medium excavators has been built with a variety of convenient features designed to make your working day run smoothly. These time-saving improvements will ensure that you can carry out routine maintenance with minimum disruption to daily operations. For example, a new electric fuel-refilling unit with filter has been installed to enable the excavator to be filled quickly and easily using an electric pump from a drum can. The in-built filter prevents any impurities from the drum entering the machine during refueling. From ground level, the fuel filters, engine oil filter and air cleaner are all easily accessible for checking and replacing when necessary. The filters and water separator are now conveniently positioned in close proximity to one another. Access to the upper structure of the machine has also improved thanks to the non-slip steps. Any severe blockages of the radiator can be cleared by blowing air through the convenient openable cover.

Easy cleaning

It’s evident that routine maintenance optimises the productivity and availability of our machines – and the easier it is to carry out, the better it is for our customers. That’s the reason why we have designed the ZAXIS 85US with a series of convenient and quick solutions for easy cleaning and servicing. The dust-proof indoor filter, for example, has been placed on the outside of the air conditioning condenser and fuel cooler, and away from the fan so that dust and particles can be caught evenly without them collecting in one place. The cooling package has been placed in parallel, to allow for easier maintenance.

Lower fuel costs

We realise that the productivity and efficiency of your construction machinery has a direct impact on the profitability of your business. The new ZAXIS 85US has been developed to operate with high levels of productivity and greater fuel efficiency. This ensures that the excavator not only meets the latest EU regulations on emission standards, but can also reduce your fuel costs. This is the most effective way to save on the total cost of ownership.

Durable engine

In compliance with the current EU emission regulations, the ZAXIS 85US has been equipped with a reliable Stage IIIA engine. It integrates traditional technologies and components, which have been developed using the engineering expertise for which Hitachi is renowned.

Lifting Capacities

Ratings are based on ISO 10567. Lifting capacity does not exceed 75% of tipping load with the machine on firm, level ground or 87% full hydraulic capacity. The load point is the center-line of the bucket pivot mounting pin on the arm. Indicates load limited by hydraulic capacity. 0 m = Ground. For lifting capacities, subtract bucket and quick hitch weight from lifting capacities without bucket.

Hitachi Environmental Vision 2025

The Hitachi Group released the Environmental Vision 2025 to curb annual carbon dioxide emissions. The Group is committed to global production while reducing environmental impact in life cycles of all products, and realizing a sustainable society by tackling three goals — prevention of global warming, recycling of resources, and enhancement of ecosystem.

Reducing Environmental Impact by New ZAXIS

Hitachi makes a green way to cut carbon emissions for global warming prevention according to LCA. New ZAXIS utilizes lots of technological advances, including the new ECO mode, and Isochronous Control. Hitachi has long been committed to recycling of components, such as aluminum parts in radiators and oil cooler. Resin parts are marked for recycling.

From the comfort of the cab

After a long shift on a road construction site or in the quarry, you need to feel ready to enjoy the rest of your day. Hitachi has taken the lead in operator comfort with the new ZAXIS 85US, so that you can do just that. The fully adjustable air-suspension seat features a new sliding mechanism with the capacity to be moved back further than ever before. The space underneath the monitor has also been expanded to allow for more leg room. The pressurized cab keeps dust and particles from entering.

Enjoy your work

Time flies when you’re having fun, but we also realise that a happy operator is also a more productive one. That’s why we have renewed our focus on providing a relaxed and enjoyable working environment within the cab. The controls for the AM/FM stereo radio are now fully adjustable from the colour monitor. An auxiliary terminal is also available, so that you can work efficiently and smoothly to your favourite music via devices such as MP3 players and the inclusion of storage for an MP3 player.

ROPS-compliant cab

The ISO-standard ROPS-compliant CRES II (centre pillar reinforced structure) cab is designed to keep the operator safe on the job site. In the unlikely event of the machine tipping or rolling over, for example, the Roll-over Protective Structure (ROPS) of the cab aims to protect the occupant from potential harm.
