Customer Comments
Mr. Yukitoshi Kuroki, president
The ZX10U-2 is now an indispensable workforce at job sites, not allowing for planting at his housing despite his hope.
The ZX10U-2 was introduced at the end of last year, outperforming other mini excavators owned by the customer.
Mr. Yukitoshi Kuroki, president of the customer, was first impressed at demonstration that the ZX10U-2 was powerful, agile, and rugged. He instantly decided to purchase the ZX10U-2. His prospective is: job category will be shifted from public construction projects to private sector projects. This will increase jobs in confined spaces, and demolition works for resources recycling.
Mr. Yoshitaka Yada, engineering manager
Appraised the ZX10U-2 as the best machine in this class, from the viewpoint of 15-year operator experience
Mr. Yoshitaka Yada, engineering manager, appreciated high performance of the ZX10U-2.
He said, actions are fast, and combined operations are smooth, resulting in about 30% increase in production. Visibility and stability are excellent. In particular, operator’s eye level is high enough to look at the front attachment during excavation for planting. For a mini excavator, the selection of travel modes is very convenient at confined job sites. According to job needs, we can select high or low speed. The machine, when crawlers being retracted, can enter limited spaces. We are fully satisfied with the ZX10U-2 performance.
Benefits
The selection of the Hitachi ZX10U-2 is the best solution to landscape gardening.
