HITACHI ZX17U MINI EXCAVATOR
2 TON EXCAVATOR
The Hitachi ZX17U is an ultra-compact, 1.7-ton class mini excavator designed specifically for tight residential work, utility installations, landscaping, and indoor demolition sites. Engineered for ultimate accessibility, it features a Hydraulic Variable Track Gauge undercarriage that can retract down to a slim 3 feet 3 inches to squeeze through narrow garden gates or doorways, and then hydraulically extend to 4 feet 2 inches to deliver solid, footprint stability when digging or lifting.
Perfect for the rental market, its True Zero-Tail-Swing design allows the upper structure to spin entirely within the width of its extended tracks, eliminating the risk of damaging nearby walls, fences, or the machine itself. Driven by a dependable 3-cylinder Yanmar diesel engine, it utilizes a highly efficient variable-displacement hydraulic pump network to deliver exceptionally smooth simultaneous multi-function control. It comes equipped with standard auxiliary hydraulic lines down the boom, a heavy-duty backfill blade with fold-out extensions, and rubber tracks to protect delicate asphalt, pavers, or turf.
