Hitachi ZX excavators
Hitachi built its reputation on hydraulic excavators. The ZX series (Zaxis) is known for smooth, precise hydraulics, fuel efficiency and durability on demanding sites. The compact classes — around the ZX85 — suit residential lots, tight access, drainage and landscaping; the larger classes — ZX130, ZX200, ZX210 — take on heavier civil work, foundations and bulk excavation. If you're comparing excavators across brands, our excavator rental page covers the category as a whole.
Hitachi ZW wheel loaders
The ZW line of Hitachi wheel loaders — such as the ZW50 and ZW80 — handles loading, material handling and yard work with the same focus on reliable hydraulics and operator comfort. They complement our Schäffer loaders when a customer wants a specific Hitachi class or size.
Sale, rental & service
Depending on the machine, Hitachi units are offered for sale or for rental — the inventory above marks each one. Whichever you choose, our Richelieu shop backs it with maintenance, repairs and parts: hydraulics, engine work and wear parts. That's the difference with a one-off sale — a local service point on the South Shore for the life of the machine. See service & parts.

Which Hitachi models does Benco carry?
We work mainly with two Hitachi families: the ZX hydraulic excavators (compact models like the ZX85 up to larger ZX130 / ZX200 / ZX210 class machines) and the ZW wheel loaders (such as the ZW50 and ZW80). Availability depends on what's in the yard — the live inventory above shows the Hitachi units we have right now. If the exact model you need isn't listed, tell us and we'll source it or propose an equivalent.
Are Hitachi machines for sale, for rent, or both?
It depends on the machine. Compact excavators are most often available for rental, while some wheel loaders and used units are offered for sale. Each listing above shows whether the unit is for sale or rent. Not sure which makes sense for your project? A seasonal or one-off need usually points to rental; a multi-year, everyday use points to buying.
Do you service and supply parts for Hitachi equipment?
Yes. Our Richelieu shop maintains and repairs Hitachi machines and supplies parts — hydraulics, engine work and wear parts. Buying or renting Hitachi through Benco means a local South Shore service point for the life of the machine, not a sale with no follow-up.
What is a Hitachi ZX excavator good for?
The Hitachi ZX line is built around hydraulic performance and reliability: trenching, foundations, site prep, drainage and material handling. The smaller ZX models fit residential lots and tight access; the larger ZX class handles heavier civil and excavation work. Describe your site and the depth/reach you need and we'll point you to the right size — no oversizing.
