Our History

-Let's make the construction machinery necessary for post-war Japan's reconstruction with our own technology- Hitachi Construction Machinery's full-scale production of construction machinery began with the excavator "U05," which was developed in 1949 at the Kameari Works of Hitachi, Ltd., the predecessor of us. In 1960 we have developed the universal excavator “U06”, and since then we have cultivated technology to make the work performed by people more comfortable, advanced, and efficient. In recent years, we have been working on autonomous operation and electrification, and providing solutions that contribute to customer safety, improved productivity, and reduced life cycle costs.
