Diesel Dirt & Turf 2019

Now in its third year, Diesel Dirt and Turf has quickly become Australia’s biggest construction industry exhibition, with over 61,200 attendees and 200 exhibitors it isn’t hard to see why. From the 3rd through to the 5th of May 2019, visitors flocked through the gates at Penrith Panthers Exhibition Grounds despite the less than ideal weather at times. Free to attend and family friendly, the event was a chance for leading manufacturers like HCA to showcase their range of earthmoving solutions as well as a chance for customers to interact with sales representatives and find out more about the products.

Hitachi Set Up at National Diesel Dirt and Turf Expo 2019


“The Diesel Dirt and Turf expo was an excellent chance to engage with our customers face to face.”



Plenty of Hitachi giveaways including lollipops

The Hitachi stand featured the entire mini excavator range; ZX17U-5 ZX26U-5, ZX33U-5, ZX38U-5, ZX48U-5, ZX55U-5 and ZX65USB-5 in addition to a ZX135US-5 medium excavator and ZW250-5B wheel loader. As well as the machines, there were plenty of giveaways including stickers, Hitachi branded lollipops and kids hard hats. Other merchandise such as pens, hats and stubby coolers were available for a gold coin donation. One lucky visitor Scott won himself a brand new Hitachi 50” HDR UHD Smart TV by taking part in the jelly bean guessing competition. The money raised from this and the merchandise will go towards our ongoing support of the Humpty Dumpty Foundation.

“The Diesel Dirt and Turf expo was an excellent chance to engage with our customers face to face. The Hitachi stand was a popular visit by many existing customers as well as gaining new leads for the business over the three days.” said NSW Sales Manager, Steven Jones. Once again the event was a great success, and great opportunity to showcase our current offerings.

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.
Meet the machine. 👊

Bryce Gibson from Revesby takes you through the Hitachi ZX55U-5 - the compact excavator built to punch above its weight.

Tight access. Smooth operation. Proven Hitachi reliability.
