Established over 40 years ago, WA Limestone is a family-owned company with quarries strategically located all over the Perth Metropolitan Area. It is known as one of the biggest suppliers of road construction materials in Western Australia. The company’s director Steven Della Bona is no stranger to the quarrying industry. He has been instrumental in Limestone’s continued growth, which now encompasses the construction of sea walls and breakwaters among various other applications within the industry. He’s also a long-standing IQA member, former chairman of the IQA’s Western Australian branch and a former national IQA director.
The excavator will be involved in the heavy lifting of 650,000 tonnes of limestone and 300,000 tonnes of granite along the breakwater.
Recently, Della Bonna’s business took on the breakwater construction on the Ocean Reef Marina, near Joondalup, about 30km north of Perth. Work is scheduled to be complete by 2022. Commissioned by the WA Government, the two breakwaters will stretch for two kilometres. Each breakwater is up to 18.5 metres high from the ocean floor and includes 650,000 tonnes of
limestone and 300,000 tonnes of granite.
The ZX690LCH-5 is WA Limestone’s first-time purchase of a Hitachi excavator
...outstanding reliability with minimal down time.
The Hitachi ZX690LCH-5 mid-sized excavator is designed for the harsh weather conditions it will encounter along the Ocean Reef coastline.
The heavy lifting of such materials has been secured with the recent purchase of a Hitachi ZX690LCH-5 mid-sized excavator. Della Bonna said Hitachi machines are “renowned for their reliability, performance and fuel economy”.
The ZX690LCH-5 features an optimised hydraulic system and engine which assures Della Bonna the machine will not only run efficiently but maintain high durability – in spite of the harsh weather conditions it will be subjected to along the coastline.
Striving to meet customer satisfaction and go the extra mile, Della Bonna remarked that “so far the machine has had outstanding reliability with minimal down time. In particular, the operator
comfort and overall machine performance is second to none. We’re also enjoying the peace of mind the ConSite Oil technology has provided, allowing us to monitor the machine’s condition and operational performance in real time.
“I’m particularly impressed with the strength of the boom arm. It seems the Hitachi excavators are equipped with more steel in this area compared to other excavators which improves the overall
lifting capacity,” he added.
This is WA Limestone’s first purchase of a Hitachi machine. Della Bonna acknowledged the support of Hitachi Construction Machinery’s major accounts manager Steve Gunn. “He made it
very easy to access the information required and provided an honest timeline on machine delivery, so I could continue to meet the demands of the Breakwater construction project.”

"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.

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.

A different look for a working machine.
This custom Hitachi ZX85USB-7 stands apart with a striking blue finish completed through Revesby, combined with detailed bespoke scroll work completed in-house to create a true blue unit.
Backed by a full engcon setup and complete attachment package, this machine is not only built to stand out, it is built to perform across a wide range of applications.
Delivered out of Hitachi Canberra for Specialized Digging Services (SDS) (@gb_diggs), with more custom builds still to come.
