The Hitachi ZX300 is a 30-tonne class crawler excavator with an operating weight of 29,197 kg and an engine output of 249 hp. It is equipped with a 1.3 m3 bucket and has been in continuous production since 2002, establishing a long service record across multiple industry sectors. The machine occupies the upper tier of the medium-to-large excavator segment, positioning it for demanding earthmoving and civil construction applications.
Excavators in the 30-tonne class are well suited to foundation work, bulk earthmoving, trench excavation, and site clearance on large-scale civil and infrastructure projects. The combination of operating weight and bucket capacity makes this class practical for quarrying support, road construction, and heavy utility installation. These machines are also commonly deployed in demolition and land reclamation roles where reach and breakout force are primary requirements.
When inspecting a used machine in this class, priority areas include the condition of the undercarriage, as track components represent a significant cost centre on any 30-tonne crawler. Buyers should assess the boom, arm, and bucket pins and bushings for wear, and examine hydraulic cylinders and hoses for leaks or damage. Engine hours should be verified against service documentation, and hydraulic function should be tested through the full range of motion. A full service history and evidence of scheduled maintenance are important indicators of how the machine has been managed throughout its working life.
The European market average for the Hitachi ZX300 stands at EUR 65,095, with a typical price range spanning EUR 42,000 to EUR 93,164 depending on age, condition, and specification. This range reflects the breadth of stock available across different model years since the machine has been produced from 2002 to the present. Direct competitors in this weight class include the JCB JS290 and the Volvo EC300, both of which buyers commonly evaluate alongside the ZX300 when sourcing in this segment.
