My

My name is Marco Volpi and I work as an operator for my father’s company Fratelli Volpi Snc. We are based in Assisi and were formed following an acquisition in 1984.

Initially, we only specialised in earthmoving, but have now expanded into quarrying and other general construction activities. The majority of our contracts involve tunnelling – to improve drainage and power supplies – or developing foundations for new commercial and residential buildings.

HITACHI

Our fleet of Hitachi machines move between sites depending on the requirements of the different contracts. We now have a wide range of excavators including the ZX30, ZX50U-2, ZX160LC-3 and ZX180-3. We have also recently purchased a new ZW180 wheel loader, which works at our crushing and screening facility.

Experience

Our relationship with Hitachi began in 2003 and the level of service we receive is fantastic. We have also been impressed with the quality of Hitachi excavators.

All-round visibility is important on this type of job site and Hitachi has designed its wheel loaders with this in mind. The cab has also been developed to provide a comfortable environment in which to work for long periods of time.
