The Hitachi ZX38U-6 3.8 Tonne Mini Excavator is a compact and versatile machine designed for construction, groundwork, landscaping, utilities and excavation projects. Combining strong digging performance with compact dimensions, it is particularly well suited to confined spaces and urban sites where manoeuvrability is essential.
With an operating weight of approximately 3.8 tonnes, the ZX38U-6 provides an excellent balance of power and compactness for trenching, foundations, drainage, landscaping and general site preparation. Its short-tail design allows the machine to work effectively close to buildings, boundaries and other obstacles, while responsive hydraulics provide smooth and precise operation.
Fuel-saving features including ECO mode and auto idle help reduce unnecessary fuel consumption, noise and emissions during operation.
