Hitachi Construction Machinery (Europe)
The expectations for modern excavators in Europe are shaped by a combination of technological advancements, environmental awareness, and a focus on operational efficiency. Authorised Hitachi Construction Machinery dealers from various European countries, including Norway, Finland, and Greece, have shared the latest construction machinery trends you should know.
Reliable construction machinery
In Norway, Nasta reveals that strong, reliable machines with accurate hydraulics and minimal downtime are at the top of the list for Norwegian buyers. This reflects a broader European trend where downtime reduction and efficient performance are critical. Comfort of the operator’s cab is also important as recruitment of skilled workers has become increasingly challenging. Features that enhance comfort found in Hitachi excavators, such as integrated consoles, seat suspension, and reduced noise and vibration levels, are therefore highly sought after.
Comprehensive maintenance services
Across the northern border to Finland, authorised dealer Rotator says reliability, comprehensive maintenance services, and the availability of spare parts is the focus. Those looking to invest in their fleet place a significant emphasis on safety and technological features that enhance job site efficiency, such as 3D systems. Comfort remains a key factor, with Finnish operators preferring spacious, quiet cabs equipped with advanced security features.
Optimising productivity
Representing southern Europe, Helma highlights the significance of fuel efficiency, operating speed, and machine power in the Greek excavator market. These elements are crucial for optimising productivity and minimising operational costs. Additionally, the flexibility in payment options and the origin of the machine are important considerations for Greek buyers. Like many other European markets, Greece has seen a shift towards more fuel-efficient machines and a strong emphasis on reliability. Fast access to maintenance and spare parts is also a priority, ensuring that downtime is kept to a minimum.
The European market for excavators is characterised by a demand for advanced technological features, reliability, and a strong focus on environmental sustainability. From Norway to Greece, dealers recognise that machines should not only meet their customer’s operational needs but also align with their environmental values and provide superior operator comfort.
