HCM Zaxis-7 Super Long Front excavator delivered to coastal construction contractor in Denmark

Approved Hitachi Construction Machinery (HCM) Danish dealer, H.P. Entreprenørmaskiner, have recently made delivery of a new ZX490LCH-7 to their customer VG Entreprenør A/S.

*please note, this excavator may include modifications/attachments that were made by the local dealer.

Coastal protection

The company specialises in coastal protection projects, as well as construction work on harbours. With decades of experience, VG is regularly trusted by Denmark’s Coastal Directorate to conduct work on the country’s coast, and this is where their new HCM Zaxis-7 model will be put to work ­– moving 3,000 tonnes of stone and approximately 6,000m3 of sand at Køge Harbour.

With this demanding job site, VG required a durable machine that could handle this heavy-lifting – often for 10+ hours a day. So, it’s no surprise they opted for this reliable Super Long Front excavator from Hitachi Construction Machinery (Europe) (HCME).

An excavator with cab comfort

Machine operator Niels Erik Christoffersen is very satisfied with his company’s new purchase. With more than 20 years’ experience in the industry, he has driven many machines throughout his career. But he is particularly impressed with the operator-friendly upgrades that the new HCM Zaxis-7 model offers, saying: “The big difference is the comfort. All the buttons and levers are just where they should be in the cabin. Everything is within easy reach, which makes a huge difference when you have long days on site. The same goes for the good seat.”

And that’s not all! The ZX490LCH-7 also boasts improved efficiency and safety features which comes with another huge bonus: “Then there’s the noise,” says Niels. “Or rather: It’s not. The incredibly low noise level was one of the first things I noticed with the new machine, and that’s also a big advantage.”
