Less noise, more comfort: the cab with the lowest noise levels in the industry guarantees unparalleled comfort. But the Hitachi ZX95USB-7 has many more advantages. We summarize them in this article.
In the compact excavator market, the new model attracting the attention of construction companies and specialist operators is the Hitachi ZX95USB-7. This model, recently introduced (first quarter of 2024) in the Zaxis-7 range, represents a significant evolution for those seeking efficiency, versatility, and innovation on construction sites of all sizes.
Key features of the new ZX95USB-7
- Power and performance
The 50.4 kW Stage V engine (without SCR) ensures greater efficiency and reduced operating costs: no urea or maintenance related to AdBlue or SCR filters is required. Compared to previous models, the new excavator offers 10% more stability and 4% more digging force, improving productivity even in the most demanding conditions. - Maximum operating comfort
The cab is designed around the operator’s needs: ultra-generous space, low and wide entry, improved pedals, and increased legroom ensure superior comfort during long working days. The new synchronized seat-console system reduces fatigue, while the 8″ LCD touchscreen display facilitates the management of controls and quick couplers. - Versatility and quick set-up
The quick coupler system with factory-installed piping and the accessory holder integrated into the LCD monitor allow for quick equipment changes, adapting the machine to any job site requirement. The ZX95USB-7 is available with both single and double block configurations and offers specific solutions for confined areas thanks to its compact swing radius and minimum distance between the bucket and blade. - Advanced technology and safety
The Aerial Angle camera system provides the site manager with a 270° view of the machine and the work area, increasing safety and control. The cab and arm lights have been repositioned and upgraded for optimal visibility even in low light conditions. - Simplified maintenance and remote monitoring
The configuration of the engine compartment and filters facilitates and speeds up daily maintenance. The Owner’s Site/ConSite remote monitoring system sends constantly updated operating data, including real-time notifications, offering total control over the fleet and enabling quick decisions in the event of a malfunction.
Why the ZX95USB-7 is the right choice for companies and operators
- Reduced operating costs thanks to technologies that eliminate the need for components such as AdBlue and improvements in engine efficiency and durability.
- Increased productivity thanks to greater power, stability, and speed in machine setup.
- Improved working environment for operators and employees, with a quiet, ergonomic cab equipped with Bluetooth connectivity, DAB+, optimized air conditioning, and smart solutions for everyday comfort.
- Greater safety and process control: 360° visual control, predictive maintenance, and remote alarms are key elements for safety and risk management on construction sites.

How has the operator experience changed thanks to the ergonomic improvements to the cab and controls?
Operators who have used the Hitachi ZX95USB-7 on early Italian construction sites highlight the significant leap in quality from an ergonomic standpoint. The spacious cab, synchronized seat console, and improved pedal assembly reduce fatigue even during the longest and most intense workdays. The wide access and intelligent positioning of the controls allow operators to focus better on their work, improving efficiency and reducing breaks due to physical discomfort.
Noise Levels at the Top of the Category
One of the features that sets the Hitachi ZX95USB-7 apart from the competition is its cab, which is designed to offer some of the lowest noise levels in the industry. During the development of the Zaxis-7 range, great attention was paid to the acoustic comfort of operators, with the use of high-quality sound-absorbing materials, careful sealing, and structural insulation that drastically reduces vibrations and perceived noise.
For those who spend many hours in the cab, the benefits are tangible: the working environment is quiet even during the most intense operations, promoting concentration, safety, and physical well-being. Internal noise levels are well below the average standards for the 8-10 ton compact excavator category, making the ZX95USB-7 an ideal choice for both demanding operators and companies concerned with protecting the health of their employees.
Such a quiet cab is a real asset in urban or residential environments, where noise pollution reduction is increasingly sought after and appreciated by clients.
“The quietness in the cab is impressive: it allows you to work for long periods without ever feeling discomfort or fatigue from noise” – feedback from operators on the first construction sites where it was used.
This feature, together with all the other innovative elements, consolidates the reputation of the new ZX95USB-7 as a cutting-edge solution for comfort, performance, and respect for the working environment.

In which construction site contexts does the compact swing radius become a real competitive advantage?
The compact swing radius of the ZX95USB-7 proves to be a winner in urban environments and on construction sites with limited space. Site managers appreciate the ability to excavate and maneuver where other machines would struggle, meeting the growing demand for infrastructure work in residential, road, or industrial settings. This feature increases productivity and allows for more flexible use of the machine even in congested areas.
What feedback are the first companies using the ZX95USB-7 on Italian construction sites giving?
Companies that have adopted the new model in Veneto and northeastern Italy report a significant reduction in set-up times thanks to the quick-attach system and the configuration already set up for the most common hydraulic equipment. They also highlight the increased safety during use, thanks to both the 270° camera system and the improved lights on the arm and cab, which facilitate work even in low light conditions.
How is technical assistance and spare parts availability organized in Italy, particularly for those with construction sites in the province of Belluno?
For those working in the province of Belluno and surrounding areas, technical assistance is provided by specialized dealers such as Franco Clò, who offer timely technical support, advice on the optimal use of machines, and original spare parts that are always available. Operators can count on highly trained staff to handle any need, from routine maintenance to more complex repairs.
What kind of training is offered to operators to make the most of the new model’s technological solutions?
Italian Hitachi dealers provide specific training courses aimed at maximizing the benefits of the new technologies integrated into Zaxis-7 machines. These courses include practical sessions on the cab, use of the LCD monitor, quick attachment change procedures, and management of smart monitoring functions. This investment in training translates into greater autonomy and safety for operators, reducing errors and machine downtime.
What is the situation in terms of availability and rental in the Triveneto region?
The ZX95USB-7 is readily available for sale or rental from various Italian dealers. The widespread presence of dealers ensures that the excavator is immediately available to companies, even in emergency situations or for temporary jobs. As far as the Triveneto area is concerned, Franco Clò is able to take care of a wide range of needs, in very complex application areas or those requiring particular expertise.
