Hitachi ZX170W-5B Wheeled Excavator - 3,677 Hours - Enclosed Air Conditioned Cabin
Overview
The Hitachi ZX170W-5B represents a proven mid-range wheeled excavator platform, engineered for versatility across earthmoving, demolition, and general construction applications. This model combines the manoeuvrability of wheeled configuration with the digging power expected from a 17-tonne class machine. The ZX170W-5B is particularly valued in Australian markets for its fuel efficiency, compact footprint, and proven reliability across diverse soil conditions and site constraints where tracked alternatives present access limitations.
This specific unit presents as a well-maintained example with moderate operating hours. The machine displays consistent cosmetic wear appropriate to its service history. The enclosed cabin with functional air conditioning provides operator comfort during extended shifts. The undercarriage shows typical wear patterns for a wheeled platform at this hour meter reading, with tyres displaying reasonable remaining tread depth. The boom and arm structure exhibit no visible cracks or structural compromise. Hydraulic systems appear sound with no active leakage observed. The quick coupler and hydraulic thumb remain fully functional, enhancing versatility on site. Engine bay components are clean and well-maintained, with no evidence of major repairs or modifications.
Market comparable sales for similar ZX170W-5B units with 3,500-4,000 hours have recently achieved prices in the AUD 185,000-210,000 range, depending on attachment configuration and regional demand. This unit's air conditioning, quick coupler, and moderate hours position it competitively within current market conditions. The Isuzu turbo diesel engine delivers reliable performance with strong resale appeal across Australian construction and hire sectors.
