The Difference is in the detail
While acquisition cost is naturally a consideration in any capital equipment decision, it’s only part of the picture. A machine’s true value becomes clearer over time - through its fuel efficiency, uptime, maintenance needs, and ability to consistently meet the demands of the job.
That’s where Hitachi excavators come into their own. The ZX200-5G to ZX350LCH-7G range combines advanced hydraulic systems with rugged construction and user-friendly features that deliver day-in, day-out performance. Whether you’re on a tight construction timeline, managing a high-production mining operation, or supplying versatile equipment for plant hire, you need machines that won’t let you down.
- The ZX200-5G and ZX240-5G offer the right blend of power and agility, ideal for general construction and rental applications.
- The ZX280-5G provides greater stability and digging force for more demanding sites.
- The ZX350LC-7G and ZX350LCH-7G, are popular choices for heavier applications, offering high output with minimal fuss - designed for reliability in the harshest environments.

On-site, performance is everything. Hitachi excavators are engineered to maximise output while minimising unnecessary fuel use or operator fatigue.

When support is needed, Hitachi’s extensive dealer and service network ensures fast response times and reliable access to parts, technical expertise, and after-sales care.

Every decision in your fleet affects your profitability - not just today, but in the months and years ahead. That’s why looking at the total value a machine delivers over its lifecycle is critical.
