What 6-8 tonner

[Vinpetrol]

I don't know what engine the zx70 ran but mitsubishi sounds familiar. The last time I drove a zx70 was 3years ago but from The cab in that video looks very familiar apart from the heater and radio controls being modern in the vid.


Just seen one of these on FB. If your lucky you might just need to buy a Christmas cracker

I kind of dismissed these as Chinese crap but I know of one that was bought a few years ago from chris knight plant sales and it’s done massive hours now with no issues . Isuzu engine

They love them on Facebook.
The 8 ton and bellow page seems to get more recommendations for them than anything else.
I haven't driven one and I think it would be hard to look at them with an open mind

Is a zx85US not available?
I’ve been trying to get my head around the hitachi boom beside the cab 8t model numbers and it’s confusing to say the least

Zx85 us is fixed boom zx85 USB is swing boom

Never seen a group with so many for sale posts without any actual prices. Message for more info…if they’re such a good price then post it ffs!

So from a purchasing point of view can you buy a machine in Europe without ce marking and take it home to uk

If its in Europe and sold actively I'd say it will need to have CE, to import without is iffy as you might have hassle with loler,insurance etc etc
Might even get held in customs now.

Whole things a rat's nest now. A guy I know makes fire doors has to ship them to Ireland to do CE tests on them as eu won't allow CE testing in UK anymore.

This company will deliver them to your door and you don’t pay for it til it gets there apparently.
They advertise themselves as one of the biggest truck and plant dealers in Europe . It would be a real shame if the only reason you couldn’t buy a perfectly good machine (if it is one!) is because it doesn’t have a stamp . Also if it is the same thing as a hitachi then the ce marking costs about 30K because this is for sale for 44k . I’ve not been asked before if my plant is ce marked but I’ve not read the small print lately either

 

[Vinpetrol]

I will be calling them tomorrow for more info .
These are my questions .
How do they get them into uk without ce marking?
Why don’t they get them ce marked in Holland ?
Where are they assembled ?
Where are the parts from?
Where do spares come from ?
Do they use hitachi parts?
Warranty info?
How much to deliver ?

Anyone got anymore to ad ?

They seem to make their own engines… the brochure for the ex130 says it has a Tata 697 engine with Japanese hydraulics

wondered who's they were ... had a bit of a Eurocomach look to it

 

[Vinpetrol]

Atlas is just a repainted sunward

If they are repainting sunwards to look like hitachis I’m off to have another bash at convincing storssy to sell me his case

 

[Vinpetrol]

But the one in the link is not badged as a Tata

It is a Tata. If you look on the other link with the Tata machines you can see how they are badged . All they’ve done at this place is remove the word Tata. They probably think they will sell better

sorry to swamp yer thread @Vinpetrol

 

[Giles]

Reality is very unlikely someone going to feck around importing a used machine without going looking and having some linkup and prices are strong over there so easier just to source one local without £5k transport costs
