Hitachi Excavator Compatible Attachments by TGEC
Hitachi's excavator range spans compact utility machines, medium-to-large construction units and dedicated mining excavators, with the ZX-Series forming the backbone of global construction and earthmoving fleets. TianGe manufactures the TGEC line of Hitachi excavator attachments — hydraulic breakers, buckets, rippers, grapples, pulverizers and quick couplers — built around each Hitachi excavator model's mounting geometry, pin configuration and auxiliary hydraulic circuit, then shipped factory-direct to construction contractors, demolition operators, quarry fleets and equipment dealers worldwide.
With Hitachi machines operating across construction, demolition, quarry and mining environments, attachment selection cannot rely on a one-size-fits-all catalog. TGEC addresses this through model-specific mounting configurations, matching breaker impact energy, bucket reinforcement, ripper shank design and grapple clamping force to the target Hitachi excavator's operating weight, auxiliary hydraulic flow and the specific work type it will perform.
From the compact ZX10 working in tight residential spaces to the massive ZX870 handling heavy overburden in open-pit mines, the right attachment makes all the difference. Scan the model breakdown below to locate your ZX-Series class, then match it to the proper hydraulic flow and mounting setup.

How to Select Attachments for Hitachi Excavator Classes
Begin with your Hitachi excavator's auxiliary flow rating. Compact ZX10 through ZX55 models and UR-series mini excavators typically deliver 20‑40 L/min — perfectly suited for digging buckets, small augers, light breakers (300‑500 J), and grapples for landscaping, utility work, and interior demolition. Medium ZX60 through ZX270 machines push 40‑60 L/min, supporting 600‑800 J breakers, heavier buckets, rippers, and demolition grapples for commercial construction and site preparation. Large ZX300 through ZX470 units deliver 60‑80 L/min, capable of running 1000‑1500 J breakers, heavy rock buckets, pulverizers, and high-flow attachments. Mining-class ZX650 and ZX870 machines with 80+ L/min handle the largest breakers, massive rock buckets, and heavy-duty rippers for overburden removal and primary rock breaking.
Operating weight is the second essential factor. A breaker matched to a ZX870's hydraulic output and mass would destroy a ZX10's boom and swing motor. TGEC sizes each attachment to the carrier's weight class — compact attachments for sub‑6‑ton machines, medium attachments for 6‑15‑ton excavators, large attachments for 15‑40‑ton units, and mining-class attachments for 40‑ton‑plus Hitachi models — ensuring structural integrity and safe lift capacity.
The mounting system is the third consideration. Most current Hitachi ZX-Series excavators use the factory quick coupler, while older machines or specific configurations may feature pin-on buckets with varying ear spacing and pin diameter. TGEC supplies both coupler‑compatible plates and direct pin‑on attachments, with each unit verified against the target Hitachi model's coupler dimensions prior to delivery. Reach out to TGEC with your machine serial number and we'll confirm the correct mounting configuration.
