A landmark has been reached for the production of mini excavators in Japan, as 233 Hitachi Construction Machinery Tierra (HCM Tierra) celebrates machine number 150,001 to roll off the production line.
The delivery of the ZX52U-3 to Hitachi Construction Machinery (Europe)/1139 HCME was marked with a ceremony at the Oosterhout mini excavator factory in the south of The Netherlands.
The handover celebration was attended by Masamichi Itou, divisional general manager Oosterhout factories; Geert Elsen of Belgium's official distributor of Hitachi mini excavators, Elsen Traktor, and Bart Godts of construction and demolition company BVBA Godts, which bought the machine.
“The delivery of unit number 150,001 is a tribute to the great quality of Hitachi mini excavators: I am delighted to be able to present it,” said Mr Itou. “We are as proud of our product today as we were when we produced our very first one 20 years ago.”
The ZX52U-3 will be the 11th Hitachi machine to join BVBA Godts' fleet. The company has been a customer of Elsen Traktor for five years.
