Productivity
Standard swing boom lets you dig parallel to walls, foundations, fences and paths.
Reduced tail swing and 360-degree rotation allow maximum flexibility and exceptional maneuverability for work in tight spaces.
Optional rubber tracks let the ZX85USB-3 cross concrete and paved surfaces.
HIOS III engine/hydraulic management system maximizes power output, saves fuel, and delivers smooth multifunction hydraulic operation that you've come to expect in Hitachi Excavators.
The E working mode can save fuel consumption by running more efficiently compared to the previous model's P mode, while yielding similar production.
Exceptional drawbar pull delivers plenty of power for backfilling trenches or transporting material around jobsites.
Pilot-control operated box-constructed integral blade works well for backfilling and grading, making this highly versatile machine even more capable.
Comfort
The ZX85USB-3 features a special cab to accommodate the swing path of the boom but is still spacious and provides excellent all-around visibility.
All controls are intuitive, and their arrangement makes ergonomic sense. Pilot levers provide smooth, predictable, low-effort command of arm, boom and bucket.
User-friendly, multi-language LCD color monitor tracks maintenance intervals and lets an operator check machine operating parameters at the touch of a button.
Go from backhoe to excavator-style controls with just a twist of the optional control pattern selector-valve.
Automatic, high-capacity blend-air bi-level climate control system with automotive-type directional louvers helps keep the view clear and the cab comfortable.
Uptime/Service
Fuel-sipping diesel and auto-idle help make the most of every precious drop of fuel.
Tungsten-carbide coated surfaces and oil-impregnated boom, arm, and bucket bushings deliver unsurpassed long-term durability.
Large, easy-to-open service doors provide ample access to dipsticks, sight gauges, and spin-on vertical engine and hydraulic filters for simplified daily and periodic servicing.
Service intervals are 500 and 5,000 hours for engine and hydraulic oils.
