Established in 2008, family owned and operated Refalo Excavations is a fast growing business based in Sydney, New South Wales specialising in residential and railway applications. Owner, Daniel Refalo believes his business growth and success over the past 10 years, is due to the combined family experience in earthmoving dating back 2 generations. This is where his passion for earthmoving started as a child, helping his father run his own earthmoving business.

Encompassing business values of integrity, innovation and respect, Refalo Excavations have earned a solid reputation over the years for their hard work and commitment to supporting local communities and providing innovative solutions to their clients. The fleet of machines owned by the company are constantly used on various sites across Sydney, owner Daniel states “Performance and reliability is key to our business, having machines that don’t have issues is what we strive for, and Hitachi can supply this’.
Hitachi Construction Machinery Australia Pty Ltd (HCA) and Refalo Excavations have enjoyed a healthy business relationship over the years and continue to work together. At current, every machined owned by Daniel is Hitachi branded and purchased from HCA. The fleet of Refalo Excavations include two ZX65USB-5 mini excavators.

“Performance and reliability is key to our business..."
Every machine owned by Daniel is Hitachi branded and purchased from HCA.
Daniel’s loyalty to the Hitachi brand is due to the easy serviceability and smooth performance of their machines. ‘It’s an easy choice choosing Hitachi excavators over other brands’ and further adding ‘the main purchasing factor being the cab, as the cab on the ZX65USB-5 Hitachi mini excavators are the most spacious and comfortable on the market’. The cab is considered as the operator’s home for the duration of their daily shift, so it’s absolutely vital the operator is comfortable and has sufficient space.
The Refalo team are impressed by the performance of the machines and support of HCA’s employees Bryce Gibson, George Paradisis and Steve Gibson. ‘All three are outstanding going over and beyond, delivering everything we require. Any issues that I have had was dealt with quickly and professionally’ adds Daniel.
The company’s latest purchase was on display at the HCA exhibitor stand at this year’s Diesel Dirt & Turf Expo held at Eastern Creek, Sydney. The ZX65USB-5 mini excavator was on display with a tilt rotator hitch attachment which gained a lot attention from event attendees. The Refalo team were present at the HCA stand happily answering questions and allowing attendees to inspect the machine and get into the excavator cab.
The team at HCA appreciate Daniel’s passion for the Hitachi brand and his positive word of mouth that has resulted in multiple machine sales. We look forward to a long term working partnership with Refalo Excavations and supporting their business requirements in the future.

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. 🌊

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.
Two B45Es. One destination: getting to work. 💪
A pair of Bell B45E Articulated Dump Trucks are on the move north and ready to hit the circuit with Ezyquip Hire.
Built to tackle demanding conditions and keep productivity moving, these two are ready for what’s ahead.
A big thank you to the Ezyquip Hire team for your continued business and ongoing support.
Safe travels, B45Es!

A BIG start for Big Yellow. 🟠
It was great to catch up with the team from Big Yellow at Diggers & Dealers in Kalgoorlie as they prepare to take delivery of their new Hitachi EX1200-7BH.
And this is just the beginning.
The EX1200-7BH is the first of four Hitachi mining excavators Big Yellow will take delivery of this year, with two EX3600-7BHs and an EX2000-7BH still to come.
We’re proud to welcome Big Yellow as a new customer and look forward to supporting their growing fleet as these machines get to work.
Thanks to the Big Yellow team for choosing Hitachi. We’re looking forward to what’s ahead.
