They're close in size. The ZX130-5A has 69 kW against 66 kW on the ZX120, and an operating weight of 12.7 tonnes against 12.5 tonnes.
We cap machines at under 6,000 hours, with most between 2,000 and 5,000. Each Hitachi is cleaned and inspected before import, then signed off by a qualified engineer before shipping. Check the undercarriage and hydraulics along with the hour meter.
The ZX60 and ZX70 cover the 5 to 7 tonne class for drainage and landscaping. The ZX120 to ZX200 cover the 12 to 20 tonne class for bigger civil work.
Delivery takes about 6 to 8 weeks from a 10% deposit, with the balance due when the machine reaches your door.
