Compact yet Powerful

Hitachi applied all its excavator expertise in the design of the new zero-tail mini excavators ZAXIS40U-2 and ZAXIS50U-2.
These machines meet customer demands for operating comfort, enhanced safety and easier maintenance. The series complies with the latest emission regulations, noise suppression standards and ROPS/FOPS standards. Operators have superior control over the machine from the relaxed seat. Owners enjoy a lower cost of ownership due to the machine's durability and easy maintenance.

Single Swing Pin

A single large swing pin is used to eliminate jerking.

Automatic Travel Speed Control at High Speed (Standard)

During high-speed travel, when the load is increased for steering for example, travel speed is lowered automatically and smoothly. When the load is decreased, travel speed is resumed accordingly.

Enlarged Counterweight and Weighted Undercarriage

The newly developed box-section frame is adopted, combining low weight and high durability. The enlarged counterweight and weighted undercarriage help lower the center of gravity and increase stability.

Additional Counterweight (Option)

When using a heavy front attachment such as a fork grapple, the additional counterweight is easily mounted for higher stability.

New-Structure Rubber Crawlers

The Hitachi-developed rubber crawlers are highly durable, featuring a steelcored structure that protects shoe edges from being damaged even when riding on curbs.

Durable Flat-Bottom Bucket

The flat-bottom bucket is provided standard to minimize bucket bottom wear.
Wide wear plates are welded to the bucket bottom for increased durability.

Job-Proven HN Bushings

The field-proven HN bushing, a Hitachi original, is utilized at each front pin join to reduce jerking and servicing.
Lubricating interval is a long 500 hours

The HN bushing, another example of innovative technology developed by Hitachi, features long life and high durability.
High-viscosity oil is vacuum impregnated in sintered high-hardness metal. During operation oil oozes come from the pores of the bushing into the clearance between pin and bushing for self-lubrication.

Auto-Idle Saves Fuel Consumption

When shifting the control lever to neutral, engine speed is lowered to idling speed to save fuel consumption and reduce emissions and noise. This feature is advantage when working in urban residential districts.
