Loading, Hauling & Excavation

Estonia-based Kiviõli Keemiatöötus (KKT) has purchased the first Doosan DX1000LC-7 100 tonne crawler excavator in Europe. 

All excavator operators, contractors and OEMs who control their fleet via the Vemcon CoPilot platform now have access to operating modes for Lekatech's electric tools via an integrated app.

Hitachi Construction Machinery UK (HCM UK) - which supplies of excavators, wheeled loaders, parts and servicing - has announced a strategic partnership with BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions UK.

The Doosan DA30 Articulated Dump Truck (ADT) has won the EquipmentWatch 2022 Highest Retained Value (HRV) Award for Rear Dump Trucks. This is one of 30 award categories covering construction, lift/access and agricultural equipment, all powered by EquipmentWatch’s industry-leading database and more than nine million market observations. The awards culminate over 100 analyst hours reviewing and ranking more than 27,000 equipment models.

As Hitachi Construction Machinery UK celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, one of its loyal UK customers will soon reach the same milestone. Over the last 49 years, Kent-based Gallagher Group has become one of southeast England's leading building, civil engineering, quarrying and property development businesses, employing more than 500 people.

In conjunction with Leica Geosystems and Engcon, Hitachi Connected Technology hosted its first Dig Day at the Leica Geosystems Training School on the 11th and 12th of November.
 
The event attracted over 150 construction professionals across the two days. It gave visitors a hands-on experience with a range of machinery, all equipped with Leica machine control and Engcon tiltrotators, an opportunity to test out all three products at once.
