My
My name is Marco Cipolloni and I work for Impresa Gradassi Mario, which has three quarries in the Umbria region. The owner of our company also has a cement company, Celcestruzzi Magione, which is one of our biggest customers at Migiana quarry!
The whole organisation is involved with everything from building roads to bridge construction. As one of the most important companies in the area, it is significant that we only use Hitachi machines.
HITACHI
Our Hitachi fleet consists of a ZW220 and three ZW310 wheel loaders, and a ZX470-3, ZX240-3 and ZX50U-2 excavators. These machines are spread across the firm's quarry and road construction sites.
We have never had any problems with Hitachi and we would only work with them in the future. They are quality machines and offer a reliable solution.
Experience
It is already clear that our Hitachi machines have increased productivity. The technology is impressive and there has been no downtime. The reliability and support make an important contribution to our business.
The ZW310's Total Torque Control and three-step clutch cut-off systems are invaluable. These help to complete a wide range of tasks with relative ease.
The cab is also first class. The most useful feature is the 360° visibility. There's lots of space and the adjustable seat and steering wheel add to the comfort factor. I've tried other manufacturers' machines, but Hitachi makes life easy for operators.
All these features mean that I can operate for up to nine hours without any problems. It also means that I can work faster and load more trucks during busy periods.
