With the goal of zero workplace injuries, we are working harder than ever to ensure every person involved in our business returns home safely from work each day. At Hitachi Construction Machinery Australia (HCA), people are at the heart of our machines. While we are consistently committed to providing superior construction and mining equipment as well as remaining at the forefront of technological innovations in these industries, the safety and wellbeing of our people has and always will take precedence. As of November 21st, there have been 144 Australians killed at work in 2019. Leaving 144 families whose lives will never be the same again. Although none were related to our business directly, we strongly believe that there is more that can be done to prevent workplace fatalities. At HCA, we aim to do all we can to ensure everyone is able to return home safely after work each day. HCA has a Safety First Priority, which means that in every business decision or action we take, our primary duty is to assure the safety of all our employees and those who work with us. This extends to everyone employed within our company, our visitors and of course, our customers. Over the past year, we have reflected on a number of focus areas to improve our safety culture and performance. Suggestions and feedback from employees formed the basis of these improvements, which fell into four key pillars: Leadership, Communication, Training and Systems and Processes.
people are at the heart of our machines
As part of HCA’s safety strategy, our leaders set the standard for safety through their behaviours, communication and actions. They exemplify the values that underpin our safety practices. Our leaders are able to actively communicate about issues, practice safety in their everyday work, while also encouraging it in those around them. Recent leadership initiatives at HCA have included an emphasis on quality safety conversations with those who work with us, as well as the recognition of positive safety performance and outcomes.
Developing a resilient safety culture relies profoundly on effective communication and consultation at all levels about health and safety issues in the workplace. From monthly wellbeing focus topics, to a text message alert system, there has been a specific focus placed on the consistency, frequency and methods of communication about topics related to safety.
A review of induction processes is in place to ensure that all new HCA employees receive a clear and consistent message about the importance of Safety within the company. From the first day on the job, every single person should feel empowered and comfortable enough to stop a task if they think it is unsafe, irrespective of deadlines or pressure from external stakeholders.
Achieving a culture where safe behaviours become automatic, is more feasible when there are efficient systems and processes in place. Constant revision and enhancement of our systems, processes and procedures, such as access to electronic versions of commonly used safety documents, provides everyone with the necessary knowledge and tools to be safe every single day.
We are continuously driving for improvement in Safety at all levels of the business. We will continue to do so to ensure that we provide a safe and healthy workplace for anyone involved with the business.
Whilst our safety performance continues to improve, with our recordable injury frequency rate being the lowest it has ever been, we are not satisfied and will not be until we are recording zero workplace injuries. We will continue to focus on safety to ensure every single one of our employees actively work towards ensuring their own safety and that of their teams.

Australia`s highest-hour EX5600-7 has reached another significant milestone.
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.
Meet the machine. 👊
Bryce Gibson from Revesby takes you through the Hitachi ZX55U-5 - the compact excavator built to punch above its weight.
From HN bushings that help reduce pin wear, to easy-access servicing and radiator protection designed for harsh Australian conditions, the ZX55U-5 is packed with features that help keep crews moving and downtime low.
Tight access. Smooth operation. Proven Hitachi reliability.
Watch the walkthrough and see why the ZX55U-5 continues to earn its place on worksites across Australia.
