General Construction

We provide a variety of construction equipment & attachments for numerous sites and tasks, and we continue to expand our product line. Hitachi has a tradition of pioneering excellence. We built the first hydraulic excavator in Japan that exclusively used Japanese technology, and that tradition of advanced engineering has stayed with us. We are always responding to customer needs, and we develop new technology to fit an even wider range of applications. Recent models of our equipment incorporate computerized hydraulic control systems, energy-saving measures and other high-performance features enabling more efficient and comfortable operation. In addition, much of our equipment is low-noise, low-vibration, and low emission, making it more environmentally friendly.

Hitachi puts reliability and controllability first. Even as we continue to develop equipment for new applications, we make sure that we manufacture only utterly dependable products. Since we base new designs on outstanding and dependable equipment like our hydraulic excavators, you can trust our newest products to continue the Hitachi tradition of engineering excellence.

Waste/Scrap Recycling

As the leading manufacturer of recycling equipment in Japan, we are known for our variety and quality. Our material handling equipment & attachments include giant shears, bucket crushers, pulverizers and other crushers that break down concrete into dirt, stone, and metal. After separating the metal for recycling, the rest of the crushed debris can be used for roads and concrete. Japan is a small country with relatively few waste disposal sites. Considering that it also has few natural resources, it is no wonder that the recycling systems here are so advanced. Having developed our equipment & attachments in this competitive recycling market, Hitachi has the experience and engineering to get the job done.

Hitachi's commitment to becoming a company offering total solutions includes its diverse efforts to promote coexistence and harmony with the natural environment. Our recycling equipment & attachments are developed for quality and durability, and you can be sure that it will last and last.

Demolition

With more than 20 types for heavy demolition work, we have the greatest variety in Japan. Our machines range in size from eight tons to 150 tons, so you can accomplish specialized tasks for operations of various scales. Hitachi also manufactures the highest demolition machine in the world (as of April, 2004), at 50 meters from base to attachment: the ZAXIS1400K with Long-Reach Demolition Front.

Demolition work involves a lot of falling dust, metal and concrete. In order to ensure the safety of your operators, our demolition spec excavators (K series) are built with a number of special features. These features include headguards and frontguards to protect the cabin from falling debris, and undercarriage guards to prevent metal from getting caught in the crawler.

Japan is earthquake country, and most buildings are built to resist any sort of shock. When you consider that machines have to be extra-tough in order to break such solidly-built structures, you can understand why our engineering is so advanced. Our demolition spec excavators are built with strong arms to handle even the sturdiest of buildings. Using our experience in a densely-populated country with a high rate of construction and demolition, we have developed some of the most efficient equipment & attachments ever produced.
