Multi-Skilled With Hitachi

MultiSkills Training expanding their operations to an additional facility in Geelong

July 2019

Founder and CEO of MultiSkills Training Lionel Skinner noticed a growing demand for quality registered training organisations (RTO’s) to deliver the skills required to gain a start, or progress in the burgeoning Civil and Building Construction industries. With 35 years’ experience operating a successful commercial bricklaying business in Geelong, Lionel launched MultiSkills Training in 2011 in Werribee, Victoria to service students and clients within the Geelong and Melbourne Metro regions.

The current total number of Hitachi machines to 12 including 8 x ZX38U-5 excavators

“Multiskills training expand their operations to a new Geelong site”

“The machines are performing very well, we have had no major problems..." - Lionel Skinner

Hitachi mini excavators at the new MultSkills Training site

MultiSkills recently accepted delivery of four brand new Hitachi ZX33U-5 mini excavators bringing their current total number of Hitachi machines to 12 including 8 x ZX38U-5 excavators. Lionel and the team at MultiSkills value reliability as their machines are being used constantly for training and assessment. “The machines are performing very well, we have had no major problems. We have a current combined total of around 30,000 operating hours across our machines.” He also states good re-sale value and easy access to parts as major influences towards his decision to purchase Hitachi excavators.

Additionally MultiSkills Training has found HCA and sales representative Shane Hickson to be accommodating and supportive at all stages of the machine purchasing process. “We have always found Hitachi Australia excellent to deal with, prompt to respond to any queries or quotations and delivery of machines, associated equipment and parts has always been on time as promised” said Lionel.

The first of 12 are looking good!

We’re proud to see the first Hitachi | LANDCROS excavators from a 12-machine order ready to head home to United Civil Group and looking so fresh and new before they head out. 

It’s a significant addition to the United Civil fleet and a great show of confidence in our equipment, with more machines still to come.

A big thank you to the @unitedcivilgroup team for choosing Hitachi | LANDCROS. We’re looking forward to seeing these machines out on site and following the rest of the fleet as it arrives.

Built to work. Ready to deliver.
We’re hearing reports that operators who love gaming will become mysteriously unavailable later this month. 😉Don't forget to come back to work! 

Symptoms may include:
🎮 unanswered calls
🌴 sudden interest in palm trees & heists
🌅 "working" suspiciously late into the night
😴 reduced productivity the following morning

Please plan your projects accordingly.

Short and sharp: What’s heavier?

Think you know your heavy equipment? We put the QME crowd to the test with a simple question… or at least, we thought it was simple! 👀

Watch the guesses, see who gets it right, and let us know — what would your answer have been? 👇
Engineered for demanding mining operations. Built to move mountains. Designed to deliver where performance matters most.

EX5600-7P. Built to do more.
Gaming fans know something is coming next month… 🌴

Warm nights. City lights. Open roads.

And for some reason, we’re expecting operator availability to drop significantly around the 19th of November. We’re sure it’s nothing.

Try as we might the ZX155W-7 was not added into their vehicle lineup.
Short and sharp: What would YOU do with a Hitachi EX1200-7?

With a mining giant like this at your disposal, the possibilities are pretty big! 💪

We asked the crowd at QME what they'd do if they had the keys to an EX1200-7, and there were some interesting ideas!

Now it's your turn! What would you do with one? Let us know in the comments! 👇
No shortcuts, no easy ground.
Pulled to perform.
