Hitachi ZW220-7 vs Hyundai HL960A

The Hyundai HL960A is about 3% heavier than the Hitachi ZW220-7 (18,500 vs 18,000 kg), which usually means more stability and lifting capacity but higher transport weight.

Beyond the numbers, compare local dealer support, parts availability and resale value for Hitachi and Hyundai in your region: over the life of a machine they often matter more than small specification differences.
