This Hitachi ZX490 LCH-6 is a crawler excavator — commonly referred to as a digger — built for heavy earthmoving, bulk excavation, and site preparation work. Hitachi is a long-established Japanese manufacturer with a strong global reputation in construction and mining equipment, producing crawler excavators that are widely used in civil engineering, infrastructure, demolition, and resource extraction.
This 2020 machine is located in South Carolina and is offered in used condition with just 1,850 total hours, making it a low-hour example for its class. It has been single-owner operated and Hitachi dealer maintained from new, which supports its described excellent condition and appearance.
The excavator is equipped with a 7-metre heavy-duty boom paired with a 3.4-metre heavy-duty stick, a configuration well suited to deep-dig applications and extended reach work. A 58-inch heavy-duty bucket with teeth is included. Factory auxiliary hydraulics are fitted for hammer and breaker attachments, complete with accumulators, meaning the machine is ready for demolition and rock-breaking work without additional hydraulic preparation.
The undercarriage features a variable gauge expanding and retracting design, allowing the machine to widen for stability during operation and narrow for transport. Power comes from a US EPA Tier 4 Final compliant Isuzu engine, meeting current North American emissions requirements. Operator comfort and safety are addressed through a sound-suppressed cab fitted with heating and air conditioning, a rear-view camera, and an automatic greasing system that reduces daily maintenance demands.
At $325,000, this is a comprehensively specified, low-hour, single-owner crawler excavator with a documented dealer service history.
