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 ZX330-3 and ZX350-3 series provide superior power for a variety of applications. From large scale construction to forestry and mining sites, the ZX330-3 and ZX350-3 series hydraulic excavators can be found working productively throughout New Zealand.   With improved power and speed these excavators make light work of large scale operations, their new low-emission engines are also much more environmentally friendly - easily meeting the latest in emission regulations. A new hydraulic system and an abundance of new technologies throughout the series means the future of excavators is here today.

Boosted Productivity
The new hydraulic system, HIOS III, and new OHC** 4-valve diesel engine powering the ZX330-3 and ZX350-3 series 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 leg room, 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 ZX330-3 and ZX350-3 series 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 ZX330-3 & ZX350-3 series comes in standard and long crawler versions, while the ZX350-3 series also includes a heavy duty (H) spec, demolition (K), and mighty track heavy duty (MTH) spec.
