The Zil MK-II is a machine from the maker Zil and, at 29,700 kg empty weight, is among the heavier models in the register, where weights run from 32.3 kg to 199,170 kg. Its direct neighbours are the ЛП-19 at 26,000 kg and the КС-5363 at 33,000 kg. The dimensions are 18,000 mm long, 8,900 mm wide and 4,000 mm high.
The register gives two power figures, 60 (44.7) and 65 (47.8). Both are shown with a second number in brackets; the notation points to two units or power ratings and is not interpreted further here. A length of 18,000 mm at 8,900 mm width is unusual for road transport; such dimensions normally require special transport permits or dismantling the machine for the trip to the site. At 29,700 kg the empty weight is in the range of large construction machines built for work on site rather than for long road journeys.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
