The used Hitachi ZX 70 Excavator stands out as a versatile compact hydraulic excavator, ideal for a wide range of applications including construction, landscaping, and utility work. As a pre-owned model, it offers exceptional value without compromising on performance, making it a top choice for small to medium-sized projects where efficiency and maneuverability are key. With its robust build and Hitachi’s reputation for durability, this excavator remains a reliable workhorse even after years of service.
Powered by an Isuzu 4LE2X turbocharged diesel engine, the ZX 70 delivers a rated power of 40.5 kW (54.3 hp) at 2200 rpm, ensuring strong performance for digging, lifting, and material handling tasks. Its compact design, with an operating weight of approximately 6,800 - 7,200 kg, allows easy navigation in tight job sites, while the standard undercarriage provides a ground pressure of 32 - 36 kPa, minimizing surface damage.
The excavator boasts a maximum digging radius of 6.2 - 6.5 m and a maximum digging depth of 4.0 - 4.3 m, paired with a bucket capacity of 0.25 - 0.38 m³, suitable for various earthmoving needs. It offers dual travel speeds (5.5 km/h high, 2.8 km/h low) and a swing speed of 9.4 rpm, enhancing operational flexibility. The hydraulic system operates at 27.5 MPa, ensuring precise control and efficient power transmission.
One of the primary advantages of a used Hitachi ZX 70 is its cost-effectiveness compared to new models, making it accessible for businesses looking to expand their fleet on a budget. Its compact size doesn’t sacrifice capability, allowing it to handle diverse tasks from trenching to site cleanup. Hitachi’s engineering ensures long-term reliability, with many pre-owned units maintaining consistent performance with proper maintenance.
The ROPS/FOPS certified cab, equipped with air conditioning and an adjustable operator seat, prioritizes operator comfort and safety, reducing fatigue during long workdays. Fuel efficiency is another highlight, with a 135 L fuel tank supporting extended operation without frequent refueling.
