Hole Maskiner expands fleet with latest Zaxis-7 machines

Two of the latest Hitachi Zaxis-7 models have been delivered by Norwegian dealer Nasta to one of its longest standing customers. Hole Maskiner has invested in a new ZX135W-7 wheeled excavator and a ZX135US-7 short-tail swing crawler excavator to expand its Hitachi line-up to ten models.

Trustworthy machinery

With a team of around 40 employees, the Velledalen-based contractor is engaged in general and road construction, as well as utility and groundworks projects. Local municipal and county government projects account for 80% of the company’s work.

Typical recent examples include the construction of a supermarket building with three floors of apartments above, and a new roundabout in the town of Sykkylven, including the drainage, sewage and street lighting.

The owner of Hole Maskiner, Norman Hole, says: “As an owner, it is important that our machines are stable, trustworthy and I know that they will keep on going. We rely on having high-quality machines working on our projects, and our Hitachi Zaxis excavators certainly have been reliable.

“However, for our operators the attention switches to them having excellent all-round visibility, a good seat and enough space in the cab to do their work comfortably. The machines are also easy to clean, for example around the radiator, and operate with the joystick. It seems that the operators are really pleased with their Hitachi machines.”
