Ensuring the safety of the operator and other workers on the jobsite is an important concern for HITACHI. That is why the ZAXIS-3 series has a number of safety features including a new reinforced cab and shut-off mechanisms for engine and pilot controls.

The CRES II cab is designed to help with "just in case" protection for the operator.
Safety in case of tipping is improved. The cab upper side edge can withstand 2.5 -fold loading up to 200 mm deformation causes.

Other features include a retractable seatbelt, evacuation hammer and emergency engine shut-off switch. A shut-off lever for pilot control helps to prevent unintentional movements. In addition, a Falling Object Protective Structure (FOPS) guard is optionally available. For the cab windows there is a choice of laminated or tempered glass.
