Machine lifetime matters to Swiss customers

The favourable total cost of ownership of Hitachi construction equipment is evident in Switzerland. It was the key consideration of Anliker AG and Weibel AG, which recently both decided to invest in several Zaxis excavators.

Anliker AG in Emmenbrücke is one of the leading companies in the Swiss construction sector, with approximately 1,500 employees. It carries out building and civil engineering projects for large companies, the federal government and cantons, and various other customers.

Its procurement of ten new Hitachi Zaxis-6 mini excavators was based on total operating costs. The package delivered by Swiss Hitachi dealer Probst Maveg included: three ZX19U-6s, four ZX26U-6s and three ZX55U-6s, as well as a 30-tonne ZX300LC-6 for its Zurich-based subsidiary, Terratech AG.

Road construction company Weibel AG prioritises quality and efficiency over price when it invests in construction equipment. The family business has been building roads, motorways and squares throughout the country since 1895. It took delivery of eight new Hitachi Zaxis-6 wheeled excavators from Probst Maveg, comprising six ZX145W-6 short-tail models and two ZX170W-6s.
