Upgraded Performance / Powerful and versatile
Our 5 tonne diggers are ready to take on any challenge, combining the versatility to work in any condition and the power to support the most demanding jobs.
Impressive Direct Injection Engine
Our 5 tonne diggers have a direct injection engine that is engineered with the power to maximise digging and lifting performance. It also delivers minimised noise and vibration.
Tight Tail Swing
When needing to undertake operations in a confined space, this tight tail swing model proves to be highly versatile.
Load Sensing Hydraulic System
Our 5 tonne diggers have an improved 3-pump load sensing hydraulic system that ensures smoother operation, regardless of load size. In addition, it enables hydraulic oil to flow according to the precise range of the operator’s lever activity. This results in better fuel economy and a smoother drive.
Enhanced Digging Force
Each of our 5 tonne diggers delivers an impressive bucket digging force of 4,315 kg. In addition, its powerful and well-balanced arm and bucket allow the operator to dig quicker and more efficiently, even in the most demanding conditions.
Auto-shift
The auto-shift system enables automatic travel shift from high to low depending on traction effort and terrain. This allows for smoother operations when dozing and turning.
Boom Anti-drop Valve
Our 5 ton diggers are fitted with a boom-lowering control device (ISO8643) as standard.
Optimised Site Cleaning
The dozer blade can be heightened up to 410 mm. This means the blade and the bucket edge gap is optimised to enable much easier site cleaning and levelling.
Versatile Control
Two auxiliary circuits (SP1 and SP2*) come standard on the U55-4. Both circuits’ maximum oil flow settings are conveniently adjustable from the digital panel. No additional tools or complex manual adjusting procedures are necessary.
Delux Interior
On our 5 ton diggers, your comfort truly comes first. The luxurious cabin features a deluxe seat and a wider entrance, enabling a more accessible entrance and exit to and from the cabin. The Operator Protective Guard (OPG) and Rollover Protective Structure (ROPS) maximise safety. Furthermore, operability is vastly improved with more easy-to-use features than ever before.
Easy Operation
The luxurious interior features a wider entrance, greater legroom and a deluxe seat. In addition, operability is greatly enhanced with more easy-to-use features than ever before.
New Digital Panel
Following the excellence of Kubota’s Intelligent Control System, the new digital panel puts convenience at the operator’s fingertips. Featuring easier button operation, the user-friendly digital panel is positioned to the front right corner of the operator. In addition, this operator-facing wider display dramatically improves visibility. With easier access, more straightforward settings, easy-to-read indicators and alerts, you’ll always be aware of the excavator’s functioning status.
Operation History Record
An operation history is automatically recorded on the U55-4. By simply checking the built-in calendar, you can trace back up to 90 days of the machine’s usage dates.
Anti-theft System
Our 5 tonne diggers include a world-class anti-theft system. This system ensures, only programmed keys will allow the engine to start up. Anyone attempting to start the digger with an un-programmed key will activate the alarm. Other security features include a key alert to remind the operator to extract the key post-operation and an LED alert to prevent potential theft.
Easy Accessibility
Although your 5 ton excavator is state-of-the-art, its maintenance doesn’t get much more manageable. With fully-opening rear and right side bonnets, the engine, control valves and various components are accessible for easy inspection and repair.
