Used Hitachi ZX200 Buying Guide for Export Buyers

The Hitachi ZX200 is one of the most requested 20-ton excavators in used-equipment yards around Shanghai. It is known for smooth hydraulics, good fuel economy and wide parts support. Here is what export buyers should check before paying a deposit.

1. Know the generation

ZX200-3, ZX200-5G and ZX200-6 differ in engine, electronics and emissions setup. Ask for the nameplate photo and serial number so you know exactly which version you are buying and which parts it needs.

2. Hours and service history

Compare the hour meter with pedal wear, seat condition and pin wear. A low-hour reading on a heavily worn cab is a warning sign. Ask whether the engine oil, hydraulic filters and pilot filter were changed recently.

3. Hydraulic performance

Request a cold-start and working video: boom up, arm in, bucket curl, swing and travel together. The ZX200 should move smoothly without hesitation. Slow combined movements can mean a tired main pump or control valve issues.

4. Undercarriage and structure

Check track chain wear, rollers, idlers and sprockets, and look for welding on the boom and arm. Cracks near the boom foot or arm cylinder bracket should be priced into the deal.

5. Export terms

Confirm the price basis (FOB Shanghai or CFR your port), what is included (bucket, spare filters) and whether third-party inspection is allowed before the balance payment.
