GROUNDWORKS and civils firm Houlihan has purchased a range of Hitachi tracked excavators, including one ZX210LC-7 and four ZX130LCN-7s.
The Sunbury on Thames-based company’s haul has the added benefit of Leica GPS machine control, factory fit by HCMUK’s in-house Hitachi Connected Technology team.
Founded in 1972, Houlihan’s has grown into a £100 million construction business with over 600 employees. It delivers groundworks, civil engineering, infrastructure and concrete frame services.
The new excavators represent the first time the business has bought Hitachi equipment. They will be used for roads, drainage and foundation design solutions on new-build developments.
Houlihan MD Richard Knight said, “We chose to invest in Hitachi, based on Hitachi’s excellent reputation, quality and performance of their machinery, giving confidence to the operators, resulting in high production outputs and reliability.”
