Configurations

The Tata Hitachi Zaxis 220 is one of the most-deployed mid-class excavators across Africa and the Caribbean thanks to its combination of advanced hydraulic technology (Hitachi HIOSIII), proven Isuzu engine reliability, and a competitive cost base. At 21.3 tonnes operating weight and powered by the 167hp Isuzu CC-6BG1T engine, the Zaxis 220 delivers best-in-class fuel efficiency for its weight class — a critical buying factor in markets where fuel costs are a significant operating expense. The HIOSIII hydraulic system delivers superior productivity and smoother controls than competing mid-class machines. The 400L fuel tank extends working windows between refuels, valuable for remote sites with limited fuel logistics. Three configurations cover the application range: the standard GI Series for general construction, the premium Ultra for buyers prioritising operator comfort, and the LCM mining-configured variant with reinforced undercarriage for quarry primary loading and mining-feeder duty. The Tata Hitachi joint venture — proven engineering paired with disciplined modern manufacturing — delivers premium-spec quality at price points 10-20% below CAT and Komatsu equivalents.

After-sales support

Buying an excavator from us is only the start. Post-delivery, each machine is enrolled in our service tracking — scheduled maintenance reminders, parts pre-positioning, and 72-hour breakdown response are standard. Our regional warehouse in Paramaribo holds fast-moving parts inventory for every major brand we supply — bushings, pins, hydraulic seals, fuel and oil filters, undercarriage components, and common consumables. For Suriname-specific needs, we maintain pre-positioned parts at our regional logistics hubs, which means typical part lead times measure in days rather than weeks. Field-service callouts are available across the country for major mechanical events. Our technicians are trained on all twelve brands we supply, with manufacturer-certified service authority for several. Operator training packages are included with every major sale — typically a one-week on-site programme covering safe operation, basic maintenance, daily walk-around inspection, and productivity techniques. We also offer extended warranty coverage beyond the manufacturer's standard term, structured monthly or annually depending on duty cycle.

Financing options

Buyers requiring financing can submit project documents alongside the quote request — we typically return indicative terms within five business days. For Suriname buyers specifically, we structure financing in USD or local currency depending on the buyer's preference and the project's cash-flow profile. Manufacturer-backed credit lines (SANY Capital, Hyundai Capital, XCMG Finance, JCB Finance) typically offer 12-60 month terms with first-payment-defer options for project-cycle buyers. Regional bank financing through partner institutions in Suriname, Guyana, Trinidad and the Dominican Republic supports buyers wanting local-currency exposure. Lease-to-own structures convert a 12-24 month rental into an ownership transfer at term end, useful for contractors testing a new brand or wanting flexibility. We typically return indicative financing terms within five business days of receiving project documentation (typically: contract, project schedule, three years of audited accounts, and a deposit commitment). Final terms are subject to financier credit approval.
