200km over two days from Perth to Mandurah and back

This ride, in addition to the donation from HCA was significant for all involved. Research from the Harry Perkins Institute had a hand in saving Kathryn’s mums life. In fact when asked to raise their hands if they had been or were currently being affected by cancer, almost 100% of participants raised their hands. Kathryn spoke of the impact HCA’s support had on herself and those who are close to her.

“I can’t express strongly enough how the donation from Hitachi and all those who supported us has made us feel. When we are struggling through the intense endurance of the ride, both emotionally and physically – we remember those who have struggled through their journey of cancer and those who will – if we can help by riding and raising money, then we should. Every day we should live in an action of kindness.”

“It was a very inspirational time to be wearing the Hitachi attire – I feel so proud to work for a company that has helped for many years – and I’m sure will for years to come – one of the worthiest causes I know.” Said Administration Manager, Kathryn Lynam.

QME 2026! 🧡

Across three action-packed days in Mackay, the Hitachi | LANDCROS stand was buzzing as customers, industry partners and families got up close with our Japanese mining and construction equipment,  including the mighty EX1200-7.

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by, climbed aboard our machines and caught up with the team. It was great connecting with everyone.

See you at the next one!
There’s only one thing better than being an operator… doing it with a view like that. 🌊

Hitachi | LANDCROS gives the precision, control and reliability RONMAC Holdings team need on this waterfront project to keep the job moving.

When you've spent more than a decade in the industry, you know what good equipment feels like.

Working on stormwater infrastructure at Seaford Heights, Jesse from Tripodi Group puts the Hitachi 25-tonne zero swing excavator through its paces every day. From exceptional stability and impressive power to GPS integration and the added confidence of a zero-tail swing design, it's built to perform where precision matters most.

Safer. More capable. Japanese reliability. Ready for the job. 

Hear why Jesse trusts Hitachi | LANDCROS on site.
45,000 cubic metres of sand. Four basement levels. 10 machines. One serious excavation. 

Faced with the challenge of removing 45,000 cubic metres of sand from a four-level basement, RONMAC brought together the right fleet for the job – including a purpose-bought long-reach attachment fitted to a 36-tonne Hitachi excavator to reach the bottom.

Working bucket-to-bucket, the team is progressively moving material from Basement 3 all the way to the surface, where it can be loaded out.

It’s a challenging job that demands the right equipment and the right support.

We’re proud to be working alongside RONMAC and even prouder to hear their team say they’re “looking forward to doing a lot more in the future” with Hitachi.
