The Hitachi ZX170 is a 17-tonne class hydraulic excavator producing 163 hp, with a rated bucket capacity of 0.8 m3 and an operating weight of 17700 kg. It sits in the mid-size excavator segment, positioned to handle a broad range of earthmoving and civil construction tasks. Hitachi's ZX series is recognised in the European market for build quality and hydraulic performance consistent with this weight class.
Mid-size excavators in the 17-tonne class are well suited to foundation work, utility trenching, road construction, and general site preparation. The 0.8 m3 bucket capacity supports productive cycle times in medium-density materials such as clay, gravel, and mixed soil. This class is also commonly deployed in drainage projects and infrastructure maintenance where a balance of reach, lift capacity, and site mobility is required.
When evaluating a used ZX170, inspectors should prioritise a full hydraulic function check, including boom, arm, and bucket cylinder seals, as hydraulic wear is a primary cost driver in this class. Undercarriage condition, including track shoes, rollers, and sprockets, warrants close attention on any 17-tonne machine given the wear rates typical of site use. Engine oil analysis records and service history documentation help verify maintenance discipline. Buyers should also confirm the condition of the upper-structure slewing ring and check for any structural cracks around the boom foot pins, areas that commonly reflect the intensity of prior use in this machine class.
In the European used market, the Hitachi ZX170 trades at an average of EUR 61278, with a typical price range running from EUR 49430 to EUR 65340. This positions it as a competitively priced option relative to direct alternatives in the same weight class, including the Caterpillar 316 and the Volvo EC160. Buyers can expect pricing to vary according to machine age, hours, configuration, and attachment fit-out, with lower-spec or higher-hour units tending toward the EUR 49430 end of the range.
