The Hitachi ZX135US-5 is a compact hydraulic excavator designed for versatile construction and excavation applications. Powered by a robust turbocharged, intercooled engine delivering 97 horsepower at 2,150 rpm, this machine combines power with fuel efficiency to maximize productivity on job sites. The excavator achieves a maximum digging depth of 19.7 feet and maintains an impressive maximum reach along the ground of 29.1 feet, making it suitable for diverse digging and material handling tasks. With an operating weight of 30,617 pounds, the ZX135US-5 provides excellent stability and mobility without excessive ground pressure. The machine features a digging force of 85.4 kN (19,150 lbf), enabling efficient penetration through hard soil and removal of stubborn obstacles. Its swing speed of 9.3 rpm and travel speed of 3.4 km/h (2.1 mph) ensure smooth operational transitions and prompt site-to-site transportation. The ZX135US-5 incorporates advanced technological features including Intelligent Machine Control (IMC) with integrated GPS and sensor technology, which automates bucket control and leveling functions to reduce operator fatigue while improving accuracy. The optimized hydraulic system balances performance with minimal fuel consumption, delivering cost-effective operation. This model is particularly valuable for confined spaces and tunnel work due to its short-tail-swing design, enabling it to execute tasks in restricted environments where conventional excavators cannot operate effectively. The machine meets Stage IIIB emission standards, ensuring compliance with current environmental regulations while maintaining superior digging capability and operational efficiency across demanding project requirements.
