Construction and Earthmoving company Matos & Neves adds new ZX135US-7 excavator to HCM Fleet

The authorised Hitachi Construction Machinery (HCM) dealer in Portugal, Moviter, has delivered a new ZX135US-7 to construction and earthmoving company Matos & Neves. The latest Zaxis-7 short-tail swing excavator will join an existing fleet of 34 machines to work on its varied projects in the road construction, housing and infrastructure markets.

A durable and agile excavator

This ZX135US-7 was selected by Matos & Neves Director, Mr Antero, because of its flexibility – making it the perfect solution for the company’s demanding job sites. And his experienced team is very satisfied with the latest purchase!

Mr Antero says: “This machine is ideal for our urban projects, because it’s compact and yet also responds well to our regular earthmoving jobs. Overall, it’s very stable, fast and strong.”

And this isn’t their first experience of HCM, with ten of the company’s excavators being Zaxis models. It is clear that Mr Antero trusts HCM’s quality: “We’ve been following the development of HCM excavators for a long time and the new ZX-7 series is spectacular.

“Our fuel consumption has greatly reduced, and it has tools that help us so much with the maintenance of the machine, as well as the management of the site. Hitachi is one of the best excavators on the market, if not the best.”

A lasting partnership

In this case, the partnership between the dealer and customer is a historic one – with Matos & Neves’ first deal with Moviter dating back to 1972! The wheel loader traded on this date is still on display today, at the company’s headquarters.

Both parties are keen to continue this strong relationship for many more years to come, and the customer remains happy with the service provided by its trusted dealer of over 50 years: “Moviter is an excellent partner, with good brands. The after-sales service is also on a par with the quality of the brands, which allows us to have complete confidence in the equipment when we go to the job sites.”
