MIDWAY CONCRETE & GARDEN SUPPLIES

A specialist in concrete, garden and building supplies, Midway is a family owned company servicing the northern, western and inner suburbs of Melbourne for the past 35 years. Starting out as a small mini mix and garden supplies business, Midway is now known as a one-stop-shop for all concrete accessories, tools and garden supplies. With three plant locations in Melton, South Morang and Laverton North which is home to the largest concrete display in Victoria constructed on a 20,000 square metre land.

To date, Midway Concrete own three Hitachi wheel Loaders, with the recent purchase of a fourth Hitachi ZW140-5 wheel loader to add to their orange construction family. The Hitachi ZW140-5 features an engine power of 113kW, an industry first 5 speed transmission, ease of control, high maintainability and operator comfort which boosts efficiency on any given job site.

Midway owner David Boxshall’s first Hitachi purchase was made 15 years ago with plans to ‘update their other branded machines to the Hitachi brand due to the reliability of the machines, exceptional customer service and credits his long-term relationship with Hitachi’s National Used Equipment Manager Cameron Taylor’ further adding that dealing with the Hitachi team is always easy.



The machines have contributed to the business' success.

As a company who will not comprise on quality, David believes the reliability and performance of the machines have contributed to the success of Midway Concrete and Garden Supplies. Machines owned by Midway operate consistently around the clock; 80 hours a week, 50 weeks a year, so reliability and performance of the machines are at the forefront of their business requirement. The previous Hitachi machine that Midway purchased did 9000 hours in 3 years with no major breakdown, so the team at Midway have full confidence in the Hitachi product.

Striving to meet customer satisfaction and go the extra mile; Midway offers experienced contractors to carry out the work, expert advice and are in business 6 days a week across all their locations. Midway Concrete is a community focused business, who have taken a special interest in sponsoring children charities such as ‘Variety The Children’s Charity’ for the past 12 years along with local sporting groups.

Tight spaces with total control. 

Out in Brisbane, GCE Contractors are getting it done with the ZX135US-7, and operator James is right at home in the seat.

With zero tail swing, there’s no second guessing when you’re slewing around tight jobsites - just smooth, confident operation where it counts.

More precision. Less risk. Peace of mind on every move.

The Hitachi ZX360LCH-7 has landed with the team at Apex Civil Solutions, ready to get straight to work.

Built for demanding civil projects, the ZX360LCH-7 delivers the performance, durability and operator comfort that crews rely on when productivity matters most.

This week we recognised and thanked the incredible women across our business.

From workshops and mine sites to branches and offices, the leadership, capability, energy and perspective they bring every day continues to shape the future of our company.

As Ray Kitic shares in this message, our commitment goes beyond recognition. We remain focused on strengthening the pathways and opportunities that support the growth and success of women across our organisation.
Celebrating International Women’s Day

Today we recognise International Women’s Day and celebrate the contributions of women across our business and the wider construction and mining industries.

From the workshop floor and mine sites to engineering, operations, and leadership, women continue to play an important role in shaping the future of our industry.

At Hitachi Construction Machinery Australia, we’re proud to work alongside talented women across our branches, supporting innovation, capability, and progress every day.

Happy International Women’s Day!
Six years in the Army.
Now a fourth-year apprentice in Toowoomba.

Taleisha didn’t come into the trades the traditional way. After serving in the Army, she began her apprenticeship elsewhere but felt she wasn’t getting the hands-on experience needed to properly build her skills.

That changed when she joined the team.

Today her weeks can include new builds in the workshop, site work at mines, or jobs at local quarries. She works on loaders and mining equipment, services machines, installs pumps and supports major builds — backed by formal OEM training and experienced technicians around her.

Like every apprentice, she has made mistakes. On one job she damaged a seal during installation. She reported it straight away. The team worked through what happened and how to correct it.

That is how competence is built.

Six months ago, she completed her first solo service on a customer machine. It was a small milestone, but an important one — proof of progress and trust earned.

No two days look the same. That is what she values most.

Her focus now is finishing her apprenticeship and continuing her career as a tradesperson long term.

This is what development looks like:

Experience. Accountability. Support.

And technicians who are built to last.
