Service-ready · no immediate repairs needed. Sourced from Fujian, China. 150-point inspection PDF + 80–120 photos available on inquiry.
Below are manufacturer-published nominal specifications. Actual measured values for this unit are in the inspection report. We verify all critical values against the machine on inspection.
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 150-point inspection report is the primary trust document for this purchase. It is shared as a PDF on inquiry — no registration, no gated download. Major findings, wear measurements, ECM screenshots, and the grading decision are all visible.
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.

2017 Hitachi ZX200-3 from a Fujian coastal construction contractor, 7,400 hours. The ZX200-3 (dash-3) is the workhorse generation that established Hitachi's reputation in the 20-tonne class — known for precise hydraulic control, smooth boom feel, and Isuzu engine reliability. A favorite of experienced operators across Southeast Asia.
Isuzu AA-6HK1X engine, 0.91m³ general-purpose bucket, 20-tonne operating weight, undercarriage approximately 65% remaining. Hitachi original hydraulic package — known for the smoothest control feel in the class. Cabin glass intact, all controls operational.
Grade A. Engine compression to spec, hydraulics test smoothly under both light grading and full digging load, no leaks anywhere on the machine. Cosmetic condition above average for hour count — original paint visible across most surfaces, only normal field scratches. Operator seat replaced in 2023 (documented).
Hitachi is the connoisseur's choice in the 20-tonne class. Operators who have run multiple brands consistently rate the ZX200 hydraulic feel above Cat 320 and Komatsu PC200 for precision work — grading, trim work, fine excavation. This particular unit's coastal-construction history means it has done a lot of careful grading rather than rough mining.
Precision earthwork, fine grading, trim and final-stage construction, residential foundations where wall accuracy matters. Strong markets: Philippines (Hitachi loyal market), Indonesia, Vietnam, Australia and South Africa (Hitachi dealer support is strong).
Container shipping (40HQ with arm removed) at 20 tonnes is the most economical method. FOB Shanghai or Xiamen (Fujian). Transit: Manila 14 days, Jakarta 16 days, Ho Chi Minh 12 days, Durban 28 days.
Hitachi's hydraulic system uses a slightly different pump architecture and electronic control mapping than Cat or Komatsu, resulting in more linear stick response — easier to make small, controlled movements. The difference is subtle but noticeable to experienced operators.
No — the AA-6HK1X is built specifically for Hitachi excavators and shares parts inventory with Isuzu commercial engines. Parts availability is excellent globally.
