Hitachi Zaxis Dash-5 reduced-tail-swing excavators

Hitachi introduces the newest models to join its Zaxis Dash-5 line — ZX75US-5 and ZX85US-5 (pictured). The two reduced-tail-swing excavators feature the same performance and reliability as the preceding Dash-3 Series models, but include enhancements to improve their durability and productivity. The machines’ reduced-tail-swing design makes it easy for operators to navigate and work around obstacles and congested jobsites where traditional excavators don’t fit. In addition, the machines combine a hydraulic-boom system with an enhanced boom recirculation function to generate more aggressive boom/arm speed. This returns the arm to the dig position faster, in turn enhancing productivity. The  ZX75US-5 and ZX85US-5 feature next-generation engines that employ a cooled exhaust gas-recirculation platform paired with a diesel particulate filter to meet EPA Final Tier 4 emissions regulations. hitachiconstruction.com/
