Refurbishment buyer · specific items disclosed. Sourced from 丽水市, China. 19 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 ZX2005 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 is a 2005 Hitachi ZX2005 excavator with 12,000 hours, sourced from a yard in Lishui, China. The machine is classified as Grade C, indicating it has visible wear and requires maintenance. It is sold in as-is condition, suitable for buyers seeking a lower-cost entry point for projects where reliability is secondary to budget. The OEM engine is original and unmodified.
The Hitachi ZX2005 weighs 20.05 tons and is powered by an OEM engine. The bucket shows moderate wear with thinning edges. The undercarriage has 60-70% track life remaining. Hydraulic pumps and main valves are original but may require seal replacements. The swing motor operates without major leaks. The cab interior is worn, with torn seat and non-functional air conditioning.
Grade C: This machine has significant cosmetic and functional wear. The engine starts and runs but may have minor oil seepage. The hydraulic system functions but with reduced speed and power. The bucket has cracks near the ears. The undercarriage has loose sprocket bolts. The boom and arm show surface rust but no structural cracks. Minor welding repairs have been done on the chassis. The machine is not ready for immediate heavy work without servicing.
The Hitachi ZX2005 is a well-known model in export markets for its fuel efficiency and durability. This particular unit, despite its age and condition, offers a budget-friendly option for buyers who have in-house maintenance capabilities. Parts availability is strong globally, and the Zaxis series is supported in many regions. The 20-ton class is versatile for general construction, and the machine can be rebuilt to extend its life. It is a practical choice for projects where initial cost is a primary concern.
Ideal for light to medium construction tasks such as trenching, site preparation, and material handling. Suitable for buyers in African markets like Nigeria or Ghana, and Southeast Asian countries like Indonesia or the Philippines, where lower-cost equipment is preferred and local mechanics can perform repairs. Also applicable for small-scale mining operations in Latin America.
