Used Hitachi ZX350 Export Inspection Guide from Shanghai
Release time: 2026-10-24
The Hitachi ZX350 class is popular with contractors who want strong digging power and familiar service networks. This guide covers what we check on a used Hitachi ZX350 excavator before export from Shanghai.
What the ZX350 is used for
Quarry loading, bulk earthworks and heavy civil jobs. Buyers often compare it with CAT 336 and Komatsu PC350 — condition of the individual machine usually matters more than the badge.
Yard inspection focus
- Undercarriage life: rails, rollers, idlers, sprockets and pad bolts.
- Pump and valve noise: idle vs loaded cycle; note any whine or lag.
- Boom/arm cracks: clean paint can hide weld repairs — ask for close-ups of stress points.
- Monitor faults: photograph active codes and hour totals together with the serial plate.
- Attachments: bucket wear, coupler type, hammer piping if fitted.
Shipping and documents
We can arrange flat-rack or bulk, export customs and CIF to your port. Always request a cold-start video and undercarriage walk-around before deposit.
