Hitachi ZX85 Electric
Pros
- Zero emissions
- Very low noise
- Low operating cost
JCB NXT 290 LR
Pros
- Very deep dig capability — class-leading reach (~17.3 m) for deep excavation, water work, river dredging, and civil engineering.
- High operating weight (~47 t) gives stability and strength for heavy long-reach operations.
- Suitable for specialized deep-dig jobs that standard excavators can’t reach.
