BY NOT BUILDING EVERYTHING,

WE COMPROMISE ON NOTHING.
EXCAVATOR EXPERTS.

Unlike other manufacturers, we don't build every kind

of earthmoving equipment. Instead, we specialize in
excavators. The result? Highly efficient, reliable and
durable machines.
The ZX75US-5 and ZX85USB-5 are a perfect fit for light residential work
and projects in congested areas. These reduced-tail-swing models feature
productivity-boosting advantages, like a fuel-efficient Yanmar diesel engine
that meets EPA Final Tier 4 (FT4)/EU Stage IV emission standards. And
they deliver all the power, smoothness and ease of operation you’ve come
to expect from our larger Hitachi excavators – in an easy-to-maneuver
package. When you choose the ZX75US-5 and ZX85USB-5, you get...

PERFECTLY PACKAGED PRODUCTION.

PRODUCTIVITY

MORE WORK DONE
WITH LESS EFFORT.
FASTER DIGGING, HIGHER PRODUCTIVITY.

Like all of our excavators, the ZX75US-5 and ZX85USB-5 deliver the
same multifunction capability and smooth responsiveness operators
expect from Hitachi. The advanced hydraulic system balances engine
performance with hydraulic flow. The hydraulic boost system and
enhanced boom recirculation generate aggressive boom and arm speed
– returning the arm to dig faster, so you can move more dirt in a day.
Two work modes provide fuel-efficient performance. Economy (ECO)
maximizes fuel efficiency while delivering an enhanced level of
productivity. Power (PWR) delivers a balance of power and speed, plus
fuel economy for normal operation. With the versatile ZX75US-5 and
ZX85USB-5, you can...

PERFECT COMBINATION OF COMMAND AND CONVENIENCE.

It's true. A comfortable operator is more productive. And the ZX75US-5

and ZX85USB-5 cabs are designed for comfort. Spacious cabs isolate
noise and vibration and provide plenty of legroom. Wide doors allow easy
access. Front, side and overhead glass plus mirrors provide all-around

BUILT TO LAST.

Tough jobs are no match for the ZX75US-5 and ZX85USB-5. They
are protected by a heavy-duty undercarriage and durable D-channel
side frames. Additional strength comes from welded bulkheads within
the boom that resist torsional stress, tungsten-carbide-coated surfaces
and oil-impregnated bushings. Grease intervals are extended to 500
hours for the arm-and-boom joint, and 100 hours for the bucket joint.
Add it all up, and these excavators deliver...

Boldface type indicates hydraulically limited capacities; lightface type indicates stability-limited capacities, in kg (lb.). Ratings are at bucket lift hook, using standard counterweight, situated on firm, level, uniform supporting
surface. Total load includes weight of cables, hook, etc. Figures do not exceed 87% of hydraulic capacity or 75% of weight needed to tip machine. All lift capacities are based on ISO 10567.

*Contact your Hitachi dealer for optimum bucket and attachment selections. These recommendations are for general conditions and average use. Does not include optional equipment such as
thumbs or couplers. Larger buckets may be possible when using light materials, for flat and level operations, less compacted materials, and volume loading applications such as mass-excavation
applications in ideal conditions. Smaller buckets are recommended for adverse conditions such as off-level applications, rocks, and uneven surfaces. Bucket capacity indicated is SAE heaped.

Lift Capacities ZX85USB-5

Boldface type indicates hydraulically limited capacities; lightface type indicates stability-limited capacities, in kg (lb.). Ratings are at bucket lift hook, using standard counterweight, situated on firm, level, uniform supporting
surface. Total load includes weight of cables, hook, etc. Figures do not exceed 87% of hydraulic capacity or 75% of weight needed to tip machine. All lift capacities are based on ISO 10567.

*Contact your Hitachi dealer for optimum bucket and attachment selections. These recommendations are for general conditions and average use. Does not include optional
equipment such as thumbs or couplers. Larger buckets may be possible when using light materials, for flat and level operations, less compacted materials, and volume loading
applications such as mass-excavation applications in ideal conditions. Smaller buckets are recommended for adverse conditions such as off-level applications, rocks, and uneven
surfaces. Bucket capacity indicated is SAE heaped.
