Over the weekend of the 26-27th of October, ‘Team Hitachi’ took part in the MACA Cancer 200: Ride for Research. These absolute champions rode 200km over two days from Perth to Mandurah and back, with each rider raising over $2500 each for the cause.
In addition to this money, Hitachi Construction Machinery Australia has committed $50,000 to the cause, with the fundraising total reaching over $4,886,400! All money raised goes towards cancer research at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research in Perth, one of the nation’s leading adult medical research centres.
The riders from team ‘Hitachi’ included: Kathryn Lynam from Perth branch, Brett Miles, Kris Herrmann and Michael Doecke from HCA Mining Sales and Terry Daniels, the father of staff member in Perth.

200km over two days from Perth to Mandurah and back
This ride, in addition to the donation from HCA was significant for all involved. Research from the Harry Perkins Institute had a hand in saving Kathryn’s mums life. In fact when asked to raise their hands if they had been or were currently being affected by cancer, almost 100% of participants raised their hands. Kathryn spoke of the impact HCA’s support had on herself and those who are close to her.
“I can’t express strongly enough how the donation from Hitachi and all those who supported us has made us feel. When we are struggling through the intense endurance of the ride, both emotionally and physically – we remember those who have struggled through their journey of cancer and those who will – if we can help by riding and raising money, then we should. Every day we should live in an action of kindness.”
“It was a very inspirational time to be wearing the Hitachi attire – I feel so proud to work for a company that has helped for many years – and I’m sure will for years to come – one of the worthiest causes I know.” Said Administration Manager, Kathryn Lynam. If you’d like to learn more about the ride, or would like to donate please visit: www.cancer200.org.au.

Experience the Scale of Mining at QME 2026!
While we couldn`t bring the mighty Hitachi EX8000-7BH mining excavator to Mackay, we`re bringing something almost as impressive; its enormous 48m³ bucket!
The EX8000-7BH is the largest hydraulic mining excavator in the Hitachi fleet, engineered to deliver exceptional productivity, reliability and efficiency in large scale mining operations. Featuring powerful digging performance, advanced hydraulic systems, and a spacious operator environment designed for comfort and safety, the EX8000-7BH is built to move more material with every pass.
Visit the Hitachi stand at QME and stand beside the massive 48m³ bucket for a unique photo opportunity. It`s the perfect way to appreciate the incredible scale of the machine that helps power mining operations across Australia.

Peter, from Peter Vagne Excavation is putting his Hitachi ZX225USLC-7 to work in the Perisher Valley, loading freshly made snow to keep the slopes topped up for skiers throughout the day.
A unique job for a machine that`s built to perform in every season.
Thanks for the photo, Pete!
