After five years of planning and a $37.5 million development and infrastructure investment, Hitachi Construction Machinery Australia Pty Ltd (HCA) have officially opened another state-of-the-art facility to house both the Brisbane branch and a newly located parts distribution warehouse.
The new Facility located in Wacol, is one of HCA’s most significant investments in key infrastructure to-date, and follows a number of other key investments enabling further national expansion. Also accompanied by another recent site opening in Toowoomba, the two sites have taken the branch total to five across Queensland along with Emerald, Mackay and Townsville.
This is the second property enhancement since 2012 when HCA officially opened the Brisbane facility which formed as the mining operation hub in Eastern Australia. Facing business growth in the mining and construction industries over the past 8 years, this facility will further enhance our customer support. The total facility site is some 80,000m2 in dimension and is located within an expanding commercial area with ample access for heavy wide loads.
With planned intentions of opening the new site in 2020 to showcase HCA’s ongoing commitment to provide innovative solutions to customers, unfortunately the event has since been cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Managing Director of HCA, David Harvey, said the new development will further expand the company’s support capabilities. “The new site is a strategic investment in our company’s future, and aims to strengthen our ability to deliver the highest level of support to our customers in Queensland as well as further afield,” he said.
Strategically located next to the Centenary Highway, connecting it to the main arterial freeway to access Brisbane city and surrounding suburbs. It’s also accessible to major industrial areas, construction sites, mining operations and the local Brisbane Airport.
The site features a series of specialised buildings incorporating the latest in innovative and environmentally-conscious technologies, similar to those adopted within HCA’s recently constructed Perth Remanufacturing facility in Forrestdale, Western Australia.
The new site is a strategic investment in our company’s future
The specialised facility features include:
• Mining assembly facility for both mining trucks and mining excavators
• Remanufacturing workshop with a specialised paint booth, wash bay area, caustic wash and soda blast station
• Parts distribution centre
• Branch building including a comprehensive machine workshop, with washbay and paintbooth
More recently, the site hosted its first assembly for the new EX3600-7 among the dash-7 models to be introduced into the Australian market. Ravenswood Gold have since taken delivery of the new mining excavator as it ramps up preparations for the return to large-scale open-pit mining at Ravenswood.
HCA’s commitment to provide innovative solutions to exceed customer expectations will continue to strengthen across many regions in Australia and well into the future.

Even when the sun goes down, the work doesn’t stop.
Because projects don’t pause.
Deadlines don’t shift.
And performance doesn’t wait for sunrise.
Inside our remanufacturing facility, our team works around the clock to keep components rebuilt, machines running and customers moving.
LANDCROS
The Work Continues
36 tonnes of serious digging power.
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.
It’s always great seeing another Hitachi machine join the fleet of a growing civil contractor, and we’re proud to support the Apex team as they continue delivering quality projects across Queensland.
We can’t wait to see this machine in action.

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.
Building better roads with the right gear.
Sandridge Roads continues to invest in performance and reliability, adding two Hitachi ZX260LC-7 excavators and one Hitachi ZX85USB-7 to their fleet over the past 18 months.
Specialising in civil construction and road infrastructure, Sandridge Roads is known for delivering high-quality outcomes across residential and commercial projects. With machines designed for durability, efficiency and operator comfort, their Hitachi fleet is helping keep projects moving safely and productively.
We appreciate the continued partnership and trust in Hitachi equipment.
Here’s to many more kilometres of quality work ahead. 💪 🍊 💪
Out on site in Denman Prospect this overcast morning, supporting the team where it matters most.
Our Canberra crew dropped service parts to HCA fitter, currently backing up Proline Civils’ impressive (and impeccably clean 👌) Hitachi ZX260LC-7.
It’s all about keeping machines moving and projects on track. Reliable support, delivered on the ground.
A big thanks to Josh and the Proline Civils team for having us on site.

From Trade Assistant to Apprentice Plant Mechanic 👏
At our Wacol branch, Nick is stepping into the next chapter of his journey.
Starting out as a Trade Assistant, Nick has now taken the leap into an Apprentice Plant Mechanic role - bringing hands-on experience, a strong work ethic, and a clear focus on safety.
For Nick, safety isn’t just a checklist. It’s about looking out for your team, doing the job properly, and making sure everyone goes home the way they arrived.
And he’s just getting started.
Nick is looking forward to getting up close with our mining equipment and continuing to build his skills alongside the team.
The future’s looking solid. 💪
