Hitachi Mid Sized Excavators

ZAXIS-3: The Power to Perform
The ZAXIS-3 series is a new generation of excavators designed to provide more efficient power, productivity and improved operator comfort. By listening carefully to the wishes of the end-user, Hitachi not only understands your business, but also provides the reliable solutions you’ve been looking for.

The ZX225USR-3 continues a strong history of short rear-end swing excavators from Hitachi, by providing the high horsepower of a twenty-plus tonne excavator with the agility, balance and versatility of a compact digger to enable larger scale production in more confined jobsites that would otherwise be difficult for a standard excavator to work.

Boosted Productivity
A short rear-end swing makes possible efficient operations in various confined worksites. The new hydraulic system, HIOS III, and new OHC 4-valve diesel engine powering the ZX225USR-3 were developed specifically for Hitachi’s ZAXIS-3 line up of excavators. These advanced technologies are at work to yield bigger output with higher fuel efficiency.

A New Standard in Operator Comfort
The operator's seat of the ZAXIS-3 series gives the operator an excellent view of the jobsite. On the widescreen colour LCD monitor the operator can see what is behind the machine through the rear-mounted camera, as well as machine performance, vital statistics and fault diagnostics. Ample legroom, short stroke levers and a large comfortable seat ensure optimum working conditions for the operator during long hours. The ZAXIS-3 range of Hitachi excavators also include a theft deterrent security system.

A Solid Base for a Long Life
Hitachi’s technology is built on a wealth of experience and know-how from limestone sites and quarries around the world. The undercarriage of the ZX225USR-3 has become much stronger. Improved construction and enlarged box sections, a track undercover plate that protects the centre joint and hydraulic hoses make this machine more durable.

The ZX225USR series comes in standard short rear-end swing (USR), short rear-end swing with long crawlers USRLC), demelotion (K) and long crawler demolotion (LCK) specifications.
