Civils specialist marks Hitachi machine milestone

SHANNNONSIDE Civil Engineering is marking a milestone after snapping up the firm’s 200th Hitachi excavator.

The model – a ZX225US-7 equipped with Leica machine control and engcon tiltrotator –  joins more than 100 existing Hitachi diggers in the fleet.

Established in 2004, Redditch-based Shannonside Civil Engineering specialises in housing, commercial and infrastructure projects.

MD Brendan Carty said, “Having operated and shared sites with Hitachi excavators since the days of the UHO63, we are delighted with the evolution and progress of the ZX series though to the latest dash 7 models. Our drivers request Hitachi models due to the smooth operation and precise track movement.”

David Roberts, CEO at HCMUK, added, “This fantastic 200-machine milestone is testimony to the relationship that Shannonside and HCMUK have enjoyed over many years, that has not only been built on the products and services that HCMUK provide, but also the trust and integrity that exists between the businesses and more importantly the people.”
