This Hitachi ZX490LCH-7 is a used tracked excavator — commonly known as a digger — dating from 2023 and currently located in Italy. Tracked excavators are heavy earthmoving machines used across construction, civil engineering, demolition, and quarrying applications, deployed wherever powerful digging, lifting, and material-handling capability is required. Hitachi is a well-established Japanese manufacturer with a long-standing reputation in the construction and mining equipment sectors, producing hydraulic excavators and related machinery that are widely used on major infrastructure and demolition projects worldwide.
This particular machine is configured for demolition work rather than standard earthmoving. It is fitted with a Kocurek-equipped 30-metre demolition boom, providing the extended reach associated with high-reach demolition applications, and is supplied without a bucket. A separate digging arm is also present. The hydraulic system has been set up to support both a breaker and a grapple, with an additional circuit for grapple rotation, making the machine ready for a range of demolition and processing attachments.
Further notable features include a hydraulically tiltable cab, which is standard equipment for high-reach demolition machines and allows the operator to maintain a safe sightline when working at height. The undercarriage is hydraulically variable, enabling the machine's width to be adjusted for transport or confined-site working. Fall-arrest valves are fitted to the hydraulic circuits, providing a safety measure against uncontrolled boom movement in the event of a pressure loss. A water-based dust suppression system is installed on the machine, helping to manage airborne particulate during demolition operations.
Cab protection grilles are fitted, offering structural shielding against falling debris. The machine comes with a CE certificate and the original operator and maintenance manual. Industry 4.0 connectivity is noted as available. The listing states the machine is available for immediate delivery.
