Our industry is changing, and quickly, as it moves towards zero-emission job sites. Your construction equipment not only has to be compliant with tougher environmental legislations, but also capable of performing productively to get the job done.

You shouldn't have to compromise on machine size to comply with zero-emission regulations. With the new ZX55U-6EB, you don't have to. Inheriting the short tail swing of the diesel-powered ZX55U-6 model, it operates with exceptional manoeuvrability in confined areas. Due to its compact size and zero-emission performance: the new model can work on a broad range of projects and locations, including urban construction, residential building, and waste material handling. Such versatility will boost utilisation and rental rates, helping to boost profitability for your business.

Reduced running costs Look forward to lower service and maintenance costs, and minimal downtime, with the new ZX55U-6EB. Compared to a diesel engine, electric batteries have fewer consumable parts requiring regular replacement. Without the use of engine oil, for example, servicing at every regular intervals of 500 hours is simply not required. With fewer serviceable components, you’ll spend less time on daily inspections, and more time on the job at hand. Battery-powered excavators such as the ZX55U-6EB are also proven to be more reliable. This brings you maximum uptime and ultimate peace of...
