“My favourite machine is the Hitachi ZX225US with zero tail swing,” says Davey Civils operator, Karl Koppen. “If I had the money, I’d buy one myself! It is powerful and does everything you want it to. I’ve mostly worked with 30-tonne models, and the ZX300 is also a great machine to operate.”

This summer, Karl has been using a Hitachi ZX135US-7, demobilising a site following the upgrade of a sewage and treatment works facility in Kent, south-east England. He works for Davey Civils, a specialist in below-ground civil engineering solutions, which hired the Zaxis-7 model from Synergy Hire.
