Hitachi Construction Machinery (Europe)
French customer invests in Zaxis-7 excavator with Leica Geosytems
Hitachi machinery renowned for reliability
Founded in 1980 and based in Corrèze in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, Marsaleix TP specialises in public works, encompassing water and wastewater networks, earthmoving, riprap, land clearing, stonework, demolition, and the transport and sale of materials. Managed by Bastien Marsaleix, the company focuses on quality and innovation, favouring proximity to its customers.
Since his first purchase of a Hitachi mini excavator in 2005, Bastien has always preferred Japanese equipment, renowned for its reliability. This preference was confirmed recently with the investment in a Hitachi ZX225USLC-7 excavator. The Zaxis-7 model is known for its robust design and high-performance hydraulics, offering smooth and precise movement, and is also ideal for complex earthmoving projects, according to Marsaleix TP.
Construction technology
The acquisition of the Hitachi ZX225USLC-7 marks a turning point for the company, as it is equipped with additional technology to increase productivity and enhance safety. This includes an advanced Leica Geosystems machine guidance system, factory-fitted by Hitachi Construction Machinery (Europe) NV. The excavator is also the first of its kind in France to integrate a tilt rotator with a co-pilot system and X-Watch safety technology.
Thomas Bonvalot, Sales Manager at Leica Geosystems, explains: “This system is a real revolution in terms of safety. It detects danger zones and automatically stops the machine, offering unrivalled protection for operators and their fellow workers.”
The advanced technology of the Zaxis-7 excavator not only optimises productivity, but also saves energy. By minimising rework and improving efficiency, this machine considerably reduces CO2 emissions to meet current environmental regulations.
A comfortable cab
An important benefit for Bastien is the comfort of the cab and the simplicity of its user interface. “Unlike other brands of machine I've bought before, the intuitive controls of the Hitachi make it extremely easy to use, even for my less experienced operators.”
His latest acquisition is also a result of his trust in Lima TP, the local authorised Hitachi dealer since 2016. Bastien will continue to work with them on future projects, appreciating the quality of service and ease of communication with this family-owned company.
“Lima TP is our ideal partner, combining technical expertise, constant support and flexibility. Thanks to this collaboration, Marsaleix TP benefits not only from high-performance machines, but also tailor-made support to guarantee optimum operational efficiency.”
Lima TP takes pride in its personal approach and exemplary after-sales service. Yoann Mennier, Lima TP Sales Representative, emphasises the company's proximity to its customers and its ability to adapt to their specific needs: “We're a small, family-run business, and our customers appreciate that. Our strength lies in the ability to react quickly and establish a relationship of trust with each customer.”
