Van Dijk Containers opts for Premium Used wheel loader

Dutch container company and carpet specialist Van Dijk Containers BV has opted to purchase a wheel loader through the Hitachi Construction Machinery (HCM) Premium Used scheme. The ZW220-6 will join its successor in the HCM range – the latest ZW220-7 model – which was supplied by the Dutch dealer HCM Nederland.

Compact and versatile excavators

Both machines have proved to be popular with the operators at their new home. Product Manager Ger-Jan Van Dijk says that the ZW220-7 has “a lot of power and flexibility yet proves to be very manoeuvrable”.

The latest wheel loader is already clocking up significant hours onsite at the recycling centre in Genemuiden, as Ger-Jan continues: “The machine runs 12 hours a day pushing carpet remnants towards recycling machines, moving floor coverings and loading trucks.”

Meanwhile, the Premium Used machine is also proving to be extremely versatile in confined spaces and is being used for rubble processing. The ZW220-6 has only 1,500 hours on the clock and Ger-Jan says he is “very satisfied” with its level of productivity.

High quality, low price

Hitachi Construction Machinery Premium Used machines are offered at an attractive price, with the assurances of a new machine. The same high standard of service from HCM Nederland continues to apply according to Ger-Jan: “If any assistance is needed, the technician will be here within an hour with the necessary parts.”

The wheel loaders (or excavators) sold through this scheme are rigorously checked and serviced by the approved HCM dealer. They have a five-year age limit in place, and a maximum of 5,000 hours on the clock – meaning a certain standard of quality is always guaranteed.

In the carpet industry, the maintenance contract that comes with Hitachi Premium Used is especially useful. “A lot of dust is released during the production of carpet,” says Ger-Jan. “And so that is something to consider. Hitachi machines are really built for the industry in that respect.”

The advantages of Hitachi Construction Machinery’s Premium Used scheme make these machines an attractive alternative for such specialist companies as Van Dijk – who say that it is a good backup service when its demands evolve so quickly.

Dutch contractor takes delivery of first two Zaxis-7 medium excavators

The first Hitachi Zaxis-7 medium excavators in The Netherlands have been successfully delivered to Grondverzetbedrijf Oosterveld BV (video), based in Bornerbroek in the east of the country. The ZX350LC-7 arrived in May and was followed in September by the ZX250LC-7. Both machines were supplied by Timmerman BV, an authorised sub-dealer of Hitachi Construction Machinery Nederland.

Hitachi plays its part in Dutch contractor’s success

Dutch contractor Arco de Visser, based in Zeeland, has been a Hitachi customer since 2005, having started his business in 2003. “I had operated machines from a young age and when I started working for myself, I requested offers from different brands. The quickest reply and the best offer were from the local Hitachi sub-dealer, Pladdet,” he says. Since then, Arco has purchased 15 Hitachi machines in total, ranging from one to 23 tonnes. “My favourite is the ZX210 because of its high capacity, manoeuvrability, and how easy it is to transport.” He has continued to buy Hitachi machines over the last 17 years due to the price, the excellent service he receives from Pladdet, and the strong relationship he has with salesman Peter van Liere. His fleet currently includes ten Hitachi models, including three mini excavators, two ZX85US-6s, a ZX145W-6 wheeled excavator and ZX210-6. The latest addition to the fleet was a ZX180-7 delivered in July 2022.

A first for The Netherlands

The strong reputation of Hitachi excavators helped to persuade contractor Grondverzetbedrijf Oosterveld BV to invest in the first Hitachi Zaxis-7 medium excavators in The Netherlands.
