Refurbishment buyer · specific items disclosed. Sourced from 福州市, China. 15 current photos available; walkaround video and extra angles can be recorded on inquiry.
We do not list specifications we have not personally cross-checked against the Hitachi ZX120IMPORT OEM brochure for this exact variant. On your inquiry, we send the complete spec sheet (engine power / hydraulic flow / dimensions / dig reach / travel speed / fuel consumption) along with the 150-point inspection report.
We grade by measured fact, not by hope. The bars show our inspector's estimate of remaining service life per major system. Detailed wear photos and OEM-tool readouts are in the inspection report.
The timeline below traces this unit’s known service events. Where source-yard records are incomplete, we reconstruct typical service intervals based on hour count — and disclose this transparently.
First major service interval — engine oil, hydraulic filter, fuel filter replacement.
Mid-life service — coolant flush, final drive oil, swing gear lubrication.
Routine service — air filter, fuel filter, cabin filter, hydraulic oil sample analysis.
ExcaYard 150-point pre-export inspection — engine compression, hydraulic cycle test, undercarriage measurement, ECM data extraction.
The inspection note is shared on inquiry. Major findings, visible wear, current photo set, and any requested extra angles are reviewed before payment.
Some exporters quote low CIF then add discovery fees, doc fees, handling fees, lashing surcharges. Our CIF is the total — only port-side destination charges (controlled by your local broker, not us) are extra.

This 2012 Hitachi ZX120IMPORT is a 12.0-ton excavator with 14,200 hours, sourced from our Fuzhou yard in China. The machine is classified as Grade C, reflecting its age and operational wear. It has been used in local construction and earthmoving projects. The OEM engine is original and has not been rebuilt. The unit is sold in as-is condition, suitable for buyers seeking a cost-effective machine for less demanding applications. Exported globally with FOB Shanghai terms.
The excavator is powered by its original OEM engine, providing adequate power for its class. The bucket shows moderate wear with some edge thinning. Operating weight is 12.0 tons, making it suitable for medium-duty tasks. Key components such as the hydraulic pump and final drives are original but have not been overhauled. The undercarriage has approximately 50% remaining life, with some wear on track chains and sprockets. The cab interior is functional with minor cosmetic damage.
Grade C: This machine shows clear signs of use and age. The engine starts and runs, but may exhibit minor oil seepage. Hydraulic functions are operational with some drift in the boom and arm. There is visible rust on the counterweight and paint fading. The bucket has weld repairs and worn teeth. The swing bearing has slight play. No major structural cracks or damage. Sold as-is, with no warranty. Recommended for parts or light duty where full performance is not critical.
The Hitachi ZX120IMPORT is a well-known model in many export markets, offering reasonable reliability and parts availability. This Grade C unit is priced competitively for buyers who need a basic excavator for light work or as a source of spare parts. Hitachi's global dealer network supports parts supply, though many aftermarket alternatives exist. For African, Southeast Asian, and Latin American markets, this machine provides an entry-level solution without the high cost of a newer unit.
Best for light excavation, trenching, and loading tasks in less demanding environments. Ideal for buyers in Nigeria, Indonesia, and Peru who require a low-cost machine for intermittent use or as a backup. Also suitable for parts recovery if the buyer has other ZX120 units. Not recommended for heavy continuous operation or projects requiring high uptime.
FOB Shanghai. The machine can be shipped via container (20ft flat rack) or RoRo vessel. Estimated shipping to Mombasa (Kenya): 25-30 days; to Surabaya (Indonesia): 10-15 days; to Callao (Peru): 30-40 days. All export documentation, including bill of lading and commercial invoice, will be provided. Buyers are responsible for import duties and taxes. We can assist with loading and securing for ocean transport.
Hours are from the meter reading. We cannot guarantee accuracy due to the age of the machine, but it is consistent with the overall wear.
We require 30% deposit via T/T, with 70% balance before shipment. Other terms may be negotiated for established buyers.
Hitachi genuine parts are available through local dealers. Aftermarket parts are widely available online and through specialized suppliers for this model.
