Background of Hitachi Construction Machinery
Hitachi Construction Machinery traces its roots back to the early 20th century, with its modern excavator division gaining momentum during the 1960s. By the 1980s and 1990s, Hitachi was already a major competitor in the global construction machinery market, known for reliability, advanced hydraulics, and refined operator comfort. The ZX series, including the ZX210H-3G, became a popular choice for medium to large-scale earthmoving projects, especially in Asia and Europe. Global sales reports from the 2010s placed Hitachi consistently among the top five excavator manufacturers worldwide.

These capacities support long operating hours on demanding job sites without frequent interruptions.
Design and Dimensions
With a transport length of 9500 mm, width of 2860 mm, and height of 2970 mm, the ZX210H-3G maintains compact transportability within its weight class. The counterweight clearance of 1040 mm and ground clearance of 450 mm enhance maneuverability over rough terrain.
Practical Applications and Legacy
Excavators in the 20-ton range like the ZX210H-3G are the backbone of infrastructure projects. In China during the early 2010s, models like this were extensively used in highway expansion and urban construction. A contractor from Shaoxing recalled how a ZX210 series machine worked continuously for months on a dam project, with minimal downtime and excellent fuel economy compared to rivals.
Conclusion
The 2011 Hitachi ZX210H-3G excavator is a solid investment for construction firms looking for a machine with proven durability, balanced performance, and lower operating costs. Its long production history and Hitachi’s reputation for reliable hydraulics make it a sought-after option in the used equipment market.
