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.

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.

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.
