Although they are the smallest Hitachi excavators, the upgraded ZX17U-5 and ZX26U-5 give you big-time performance on all kinds of jobs.
These Dash-5 Compact Excavators have quiet, fuel-efficient Yanmar engines that meet EPA Final Tier 4(FT4)/EU Stage IV emission standards while providing reliable and powerful performance. With their reduced-tail-swing designs, these tiny titans can work in tight spaces and are easy to load and transport between jobs. A heated, spacious cab with wider, easier entry and better visibility won’t cramp your style. Heavy-duty X-frames provide a solid, stable platform that resists material build-up. And maintenance is easy thanks to enhancements such as improved access to side-by-side cooling cores. When you choose Hitachi Dash-5 Compact Excavators, you get big benefits.
