Kjell Malmenstedt founded KM Schakt in 1989 and now jointly owns the company with his two sons, Fredrik and Philip. It specialises in earthmoving, sewage and infrastructure work, as well as the groundworks for new houses and other buildings.
The Björklinge-based contractor took delivery of the ZX155W-7 in June 2023. One of its initial assignments was on a project to prepare an extension to an existing school in Vendelsömalm, to the south of Stockholm. Work commenced in December 2023 and was scheduled to finish in June 2024.

“There were some teething issues with the machine when it first arrived,” says Fredrik. “However, Delvator helped us to rectify these and turned it around quickly. Everything is fine now, and we are very happy with the support, parts and service that we receive from our Hitachi dealer.
“Along with our employees, I am also happy with the machine. It is working well and proving to be a reliable acquisition. We decided to buy the ZX155W-7 due to the short delivery time, and the reputation held by Hitachi for its hydraulic systems, and Delvator for its service and support. This has proved to be correct and we would certainly consider buying another new Zaxis-7 excavator.”
