Brand: HITACHI – A globally renowned Japanese heavy machinery brand, celebrated for precision engineering, long-term reliability, and innovative technology. Its excavators are trusted in over 200 countries for consistent performance in diverse construction, rural development, and light industrial scenarios.Model: ZX120 – A flagship 12-ton class crawler excavator, designed as a versatile all-rounder for light-to-medium intensity operations. It balances power, fuel efficiency, and maneuverability, making it ideal for international small-to-medium construction, agricultural projects, and light mining across global markets.
Equipped with HITACHI’s self-developed turbocharged diesel engine, optimized for 12-ton class workloads. It delivers steady torque to handle soil, gravel, and small-to-medium rock, while the brand’s exclusive “ECO Mode” intelligently adjusts power output based on tasks—cutting unnecessary fuel consumption without compromising work speed. This balance ensures low operational costs for long-term overseas projects, even with daily continuous use.
Built with HITACHI’s signature ruggedness. The boom and bucket use high-tensile steel with reinforced multi-layer welding at stress points, resisting wear from frequent digging and loading. The compact X-shaped frame enhances stability, while the sealed hydraulic system and multi-stage filtration prevent dust, sand, or moisture intrusion—critical for harsh environments like rural construction sites, dry quarries, or humid agricultural fields. The undercarriage features durable track links and rollers, adapting to uneven terrain without sacrificing longevity.
Adopts HITACHI’s advanced “Hydraulic Sync Control” technology, ensuring precise, coordinated movements. Whether grading fine terrain, loading small trucks, or digging trenches, the operation feels smooth and responsive with minimal jitter. The cab is ergonomically designed: it’s spacious with an adjustable air-suspension seat to ease fatigue during 8+ hour shifts, 360° panoramic windows eliminate blind spots, and a high-visibility digital display monitors real-time engine/hydraulic status—helping detect small issues before they escalate.
Maintenance points are strategically laid out—filters, oil fill ports, and hydraulic check valves are easily accessible with clear labels, 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 within 3–7 business days to minimize downtime for overseas projects. The machine’s simplified structure also reduces maintenance complexity, suitable for areas with limited technical support.


HITACHI’s classic minimalist design, with a compact frame that fits narrow rural paths or crowded urban construction sites. The exterior is coated with anti-corrosion paint to resist humidity, salt, or dust—suitable for coastal, desert, or tropical environments.


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 smoothly with low noise and meets global emission standards (Tier 3/Tier 4) for cross-border use. HITACHI’s proprietary hydraulic valves ensure consistent power output, even during continuous digging and loading operations.


Spacious cab with soft armrest padding, a lumbar-support air-suspension seat, and intuitive joysticks that reduce operating effort. The backlit digital panel is easy to read in bright sunlight or low light, and the air conditioning system maintains a stable temperature in extreme weather—from hot deserts to cold highlands.
The ZX120’s versatility makes 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 in urban or rural areas.
- Agricultural & Rural Projects: Farmland leveling, digging irrigation ditches, small pond excavation, and material handling for rural house construction or farm infrastructure.
- Light Industrial & Mining: Surface soil stripping in small quarries, loading aggregates for local concrete plants, and auxiliary material handling in light manufacturing facilities.
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, environmental standards, safety certifications).
- 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 assembly guidance available if needed.
The ZX120 embodies HITACHI’s “precision meets durability” philosophy. It handles diverse light-to-medium tasks with consistent performance, lower maintenance needs, and strong adaptability to global work environments—from humid Asian cities to dry African rural areas. For overseas teams needing a reliable, cost-effective 12-ton class excavator, this model is a trusted choice backed by HITACHI’s decades of engineering expertise.
