Customer-centric solutions

HCME is committed to delivering reliable customer-centric solutions, and uses extensive research and innovation to develop market-leading products and services. Its vision to become the first-choice solutions provider is driven by a dedication to help build a better future for all.

HCME President Takaharu Ikeda says: “We look forward to collaborating with other members of the EDA, sharing our expertise and exchanging information to improve working conditions, standards and training within the dynamic demolition industry.

“By sharing knowledge and expertise, we can continually improve our equipment for the benefit of contractors and operators, ensuring it reaches the highest levels of safety, efficiency and reliability.”

Increased safety for operators

HCM demolition machines have been developed to meet the needs of those working in the industry. Based on standard models, they have several options to add strength and durability for working in challenging environments, and increased safety for operators in the cab. Fitted with mono, two- or three-piece booms, they can reach up to 40m. HCM also introduced specially reinforced multi-carrier models for demolition projects at Bauma last year, including the ZX400MC-7 and ZX600MC-7.

Hitachi ZX300LC-7 keeps Danish sustainability projects on track

Vestjysk Kloak & Anlaeg ApS is shifting its operations towards climate protection infrastructure projects to help Danish society adapt to extreme weather events. Thanks to Hitachi’s new Zaxis-7 machines and fast-acting, personalised customer service from authorised dealer HP Entreprenormaskiner A/S (HPE), these important projects can keep running smoothly without delay.

Danish operator gets dream machine

The opinion of operator Nick Poulsen was crucial for Danish contractor Hans Ikjær Entreprenørforretning when it considered buying a new excavator. “I really wanted to operate a Hitachi, as they have always worked well for me,” says Nick, who has previous experience working with the ZX210, ZX250 and ZX470 models.

Zaxis-7 attracts fresh talent to Danish firm

The latest generation of Zaxis excavators is already earning a stellar reputation in Denmark and is attracting operators from other companies to drive these new and improved machines. This was the case for Benny Mortensen, an operator for Vestjysk Kloak & Anlaeg (VKA) based in Ulfborg, Denmark, who specialise in groundworks, sewerage, and more recently climate protection projects in West Jutland.
