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.

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.
