Hitachi Group at Humpty Dumpty Balmoral Burn
Hitachi Construction Machinery (Australia) are committed to supporting the Humpty Dumpty foundation, even if that means spending a Sunday running up one of Sydney’s steepest streets. The Humpty Dumpty Foundation Balmoral Burn originated as a thank you to the Royal North Shore Hospital from former Wallaby captain Phil Kearns AM, after his son Finn received emergency care for suspected meningococcal. Now in its 19th year, the infamous annual community fun run up Awaba Street in Balmoral attracts thousands of individuals who partake or spectate each year. Participants conquer the 420m incline in various age category races, corporate, family and even pet races. This year the event has raised over two million dollars for The Humpty Dumpty Foundation.

The Revesby team came in at 1:16 (a split second from 3rd) after leading for the start of the race
Post-race lunch for the Revesby and Sydney CSG team
Humpty Dumpty hosted a Sponsor’s Dinner on the Friday evening prior to the event, where HCA invited some suppliers to join in celebrating and experiencing the great work of the Humpty Dumpty Foundation. In attendance were a few esteemed guests including TV presenter and commonwealth medallist Johanna Griggs. At the event HCA purchased a Jaundice detector for the Mercy Hospital for Women in Heidelberg Victoria, to be used in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
The rivalry between Revesby and Sydney CSG branches continued this year with a team from each branch entering into the Corporate Relay: Humpy’s Dash. Other companies who took part included our friends at Hitachi Ltd., Coates Hire, Deloitte, LJ Hooker and more. There were some great results this time around, improving on last year’s 9th (1:23) and 15th (1:34) to grab the 4th and 11th positions. The Revesby team came in at 1:16 (a split second from 3rd) after leading for the start of the race and Sydney CSG came in soon after at 1:26. The race was followed by a lunch for Humpy’s corporate sponsors which was more than enough to compensate for the pain endured. A big thanks to all those who got involved and we look forward to participating next year’s event.

A major waterfront project is underway in Hobart, with one of Southern Tasmania`s longest-standing Hitachi customers, Batchelor Civil Contracting, mobilising an impressive fleet to the city`s Cenotaph precinct.
From compact excavators through to heavyweight machines, this project showcases the versatility of Hitachi equipment across every stage of the job. Featured on site are the ZX55U-5, ZX210LC-5, ZX210LC-7, ZX490LCH-5 and ZX670LCH-3, ready to help deliver this significant redevelopment along Hobart`s iconic waterfront.
We`re proud to support Batchelor Civil Contracting and look forward to seeing the project take shape.

Australia`s highest-hour EX5600-7 has reached another significant milestone as it chases goals established by our legendary forebearer -6 models that achieved over 100,000 hrs, many of which are still operating around the world.
After more than 38,000 operating hours, the machine has undergone its first swing bearing replacement. The major component change completed safely and successfully by two dedicated crews.
The project was delivered with zero safety incidents, reflecting the planning, expertise and commitment of everyone involved throughout the change-out.
This milestone also marks 10 years since HCA’s designed and developed Elevation System first entered operation, highlighting the long-term durability and performance that continue to support mining operations across Australia.
38,000 hours.
First swing bearing replacement.
Two crews.
Zero safety incidents.
A testament to the people, planning and equipment behind one of Australia`s hardest-working EX5600-7 excavators.
Stepping up its game. 👢
This Hitachi ZX85USB-7 delivered to Specialized Digging Services (SDS) (@gb_diggs) shows what precision on-site can look like when paired with an engcon rotating wrist and full attachment setup.
From heavy digging work through to fine control tasks (like picking up a boot), this machine has been configured to handle more with minimal changeover time and greater flexibility on site.
Less repositioning. Fewer support machines. Better overall efficiency where it matters most.
Because capability is not only about power. It is about control.
"Reliability means delivering for our customers, not letting them down and keeping the wheels turning."
That`s how Cameron Madeira, Operations Manager at ECORR, describes the role Hitachi equipment plays in their operation.
Processing thousands of tonnes of concrete every day, ECORR relies on a fleet of Hitachi excavators and wheel loaders to tackle one of Australia`s toughest working environments. From separating steel and concrete to keeping crushers fed and material moving, reliability isn`t optional—it`s essential.
We`re proud to support ECORR as they continue their mission to be leaders in the recycling industry.

Throwback to our 2025 Construction Equipment Sales Conference - where the team got hands-on with the machines they talk about every day. 👷♂️💥
From walkarounds to machine demos, it was a chance for our Construction Equipment Sales Representatives to get up close with the gear, share knowledge and sharpen their understanding of the products supporting customers across Australia.
Because selling equipment is one thing. Knowing it inside and out is another. 👊
Look after the big fella and the big fella looks after you.
This King`s Birthday, a reminder worth holding onto. The machines that lead your fleet for the longest are the ones backed by proper servicing, genuine parts, and a team that knows them down to the bolt.
Treat your equipment with that standard, and it rewards you with uptime, resale value, and years of reliable work.
What is the oldest Hitachi | LANDCROS machine still earning its keep on your site?
Drop its age below.
The name is changing.
The Japanese reliability operators count on is not.
From construction sites to quarries and mining operations, the machines trusted across Australia are stepping into a new era under the LANDCROS name.
Same proven performance.
Same dependable support.
Same commitment to getting the job done.
LANDCROS — Solutions Beyond Machinery.
Big bloke.
Compact machine.
Still plenty of room to get comfortable.
George from Sydney walks through the ZX17U-5 and shows why compact does not mean cramped. With a spacious operator area, easy access and the performance to match, this machine is built to work hard in tight spaces.
Small footprint. Serious capability.
