Most excavator buyers never look at the pump. They buy a Hitachi ZX200, a Sumitomo SH210, or a Doosan DX225 — and assume the hydraulics are branded accordingly. Open the pump cover and you'll often find a Kawasaki K3V112DT or K3V180DT.
Kawasaki Precision Machinery is a major OEM supplier to the global excavator industry. This creates an interesting situation for buyers sourcing replacement pumps — you need a Kawasaki, not a Hitachi or Doosan branded part. And because many equipment owners don't know this, Kawasaki refurbished pumps are underappreciated and often better priced than equivalent Komatsu or CAT units for the same performance.
At PumpGrid, we know exactly which Kawasaki pump variant fits which machine — including the often-confusing K3V112DT variants that differ in shaft spline and port orientation between Hitachi ZX200 and Sumitomo SH200 applications. We confirm before dispatch, always.
How to Identify if Your Excavator Has a Kawasaki Pump
Look for the Kawasaki Precision Machinery nameplate on the pump body — it carries the K3V or K5V model designation and serial number. Hitachi ZX series, Sumitomo SH series, Doosan DX series, Kobelco SK series, and Volvo EC series excavators frequently use Kawasaki pumps as OEM equipment. If you see K3V or K5V on your existing pump, you need a Kawasaki replacement.

Our Kawasaki Quality Guarantee
Variant Identification Before Dispatch
The K3V112DT has multiple variants — shaft spline count, port orientation, and control type vary between machine brands. We identify your specific variant from your machine serial number or existing pump nameplate photo before confirming your order.
Pressure Tested at 350 Bar
Kawasaki K3V and K5V series pumps are rated to 350 bar. We bench-test at rated pressure and document actual readings. A pump that doesn't reach rated pressure gets reworked — it doesn't leave our network.
Piston & Barrel Assembly Replaced Where Needed
The most common Kawasaki failure points are piston shoe wear and barrel kidney plate erosion — both addressed in our refurbishment process with OEM-specification replacement components.
3-Month Warranty
All refurbished Kawasaki pumps carry a minimum 3-month warranty. Written test report, photos of the pump, and packaging confirmation are all shared via WhatsApp before dispatch.
