About · Hitachi ZX140

Overview

The Hitachi ZX140 is a crawler excavator in the 14-tonne class, with an operating weight of 14700 kg and an engine output of 121 hp. It is equipped with a standard bucket capacity of 0.55 m3, positioning it firmly in the mid-range utility excavator segment. The machine is manufactured by Hitachi Construction Machinery, a manufacturer with an established reputation for durability and component quality in the European market.

Typical applications

Where this machine is used

Excavators in the 14-tonne class are well suited to civil engineering, groundworks, utility installation, and site preparation tasks. The combination of digging reach and bucket capacity makes this class practical for drainage works, foundation excavation, and general earthmoving on both urban and rural sites. Machines of this size are also commonly deployed in road construction and landscaping contracts where a compact-to-mid footprint is required.

Used-market inspection

What to check before buying

Buyers should carry out a structured inspection covering undercarriage wear, including track pads, rollers, and sprockets, as these components represent a significant portion of refurbishment cost on any 14-tonne crawler excavator. The condition of the boom, arm, and bucket pins and bushings should be assessed, along with any visible play or uneven wear in the attachment circuit. Engine hours should be verified against service records, and hydraulic function, including slew speed, arm curl, and boom lift, should be tested under load where possible. A full review of available maintenance documentation and any known repair history is advisable before committing to purchase.

Current market

Price position

The European market average for the Hitachi ZX140 stands at EUR 73754, with a typical price range running from EUR 57500 to EUR 82500. Variation within that range reflects differences in age, hours, specification, and condition. Direct competitor models in the same weight class include the Volvo ECR145 and the Kobelco E145, both of which are actively traded on the European used-equipment market and should be considered as reference points when evaluating value.
