Brand: HITACHI – A globally renowned Japanese heavy machinery brand, celebrated for time-tested engineering, exceptional durability, and consistent performance. Its excavators are trusted in over 200 countries for reliable operation in diverse construction, agriculture, and light industrial scenarios.Model: EX120-5 – A classic 12-ton class crawler excavator, designed as a versatile workhorse for light-to-medium intensity operations. It blends proven power, ruggedness, and maneuverability, making it ideal for international small-to-medium construction, rural development, and light mining projects across global markets.
Equipped with HITACHI’s reliable turbocharged diesel engine, optimized for long-term continuous use. It delivers steady torque to handle soil, gravel, and small-to-medium rock, maintaining consistent power even in high-altitude or extreme temperature environments. The engine’s robust design minimizes breakdowns, a key advantage for overseas projects where technical support may be limited.
Built with HITACHI’s iconic heavy-duty structure. The boom and bucket use high-tensile steel with reinforced welding at stress points, resisting wear and deformation from frequent digging and loading. The compact X-shaped frame enhances stability, while the heavy-duty undercarriage (with durable track links and rollers) adapts to uneven terrain—from rocky rural paths to muddy construction sites. The hydraulic system features precision-machined components with strong sealing, preventing dust and moisture intrusion to extend service life.
Adopts HITACHI’s user-friendly hydraulic control system, ensuring smooth, coordinated movements. Whether digging trenches, loading materials, or grading terrain, the operation feels responsive and precise, even for less experienced operators. The cab is designed for comfort and safety: it’s spacious with a supportive adjustable seat to reduce fatigue during 8+ hour shifts, large panoramic windows eliminate blind spots, and a clear analog-digital display monitors real-time engine and hydraulic status—simplifying fault detection.
Maintenance points are strategically positioned for quick access—filters, oil ports, and hydraulic check valves are easily reachable with basic tools, saving time on daily inspections. HITACHI’s global spare parts network covers major regions (e.g., Southeast Asia, Africa, Europe), ensuring common components (like engine filters or hydraulic hoses) can be delivered promptly. The machine’s simplified mechanical structure also reduces maintenance complexity, making it suitable for areas with limited technical resources.


HITACHI’s classic rugged design, with a compact yet solid frame that balances maneuverability and stability. The exterior is coated with anti-corrosion paint to resist humidity, salt, or dust—suitable for coastal, desert, or tropical construction sites.


The boom features thickened steel at key stress points to handle medium loads, while the standard 0.5–0.6 m³ bucket (optional rock bucket or grading bucket) is lined with wear-resistant alloy—ideal for daily soil, gravel, and small rock handling, as well as light material loading.


The turbocharged engine runs steadily with low noise and meets global emission standards (Tier 2/Tier 3) for cross-border use. HITACHI’s proprietary hydraulic system ensures consistent power output, even during continuous high-intensity operations.

Spacious cab with supportive seating, intuitive joysticks, and a clear display panel. The layout is user-friendly, with all controls within easy reach, and the cab’s sound insulation reduces operational noise—enhancing comfort during long shifts.
The EX120-5’s versatility and ruggedness make it suitable for a wide range of international projects:
- Small-to-Medium Construction: Digging trenches for water/electricity pipelines, foundation work for small buildings, road repair, and park landscaping.
- Rural & Agricultural Projects: Farmland leveling, digging irrigation ditches, small pond excavation, and material handling for rural house construction.
- Light Mining & Quarries: Surface soil stripping in small quarries, loading aggregates for local concrete plants, and handling ore in light mining operations.
We provide end-to-end support to simplify international procurement:
- Transparent Inspection Reports: Detailed documents covering mechanical performance (engine power, hydraulic pressure), structural integrity, track wear, and safety component checks—with photos and videos to ensure full transparency of equipment status.
- Customs Clearance Assistance: Expert help with preparing import documents (certificate of origin, emission compliance report, commercial invoice) and adapting to local regulations (e.g., import tariffs, safety certifications, environmental standards).
- Tailored Logistics Solutions: Flexible shipping options (sea freight for whole-machine transport, bulk shipping for spare parts) with anti-rust/anti-collision packaging. Real-time cargo tracking is provided until delivery to your construction site, with on-site maintenance guidance available if needed.
The EX120-5 is a proven workhorse that embodies HITACHI’s “durability meets practicality” philosophy. Its robust design handles tough global environments, from humid Asian construction sites to dry African rural areas, with minimal downtime. For overseas teams needing a reliable, low-maintenance excavator for light-to-medium tasks, this model is a cost-effective, low-risk choice backed by decades of field-proven performance.
