Hitachi excavator

Hitachi Construction Machinery posted a 7.8-percent increase in revenues in its fiscal year ending March 31, compared with its previous fiscal year. The company had 1,033,703 million yen in revenues this fiscal year, compared to 959,153 million yen the previous year.

In issuing its results, Hitachi also warned that it expects its 2019 fiscal year results (through March 31, 2020) to be down 8.1 percent, to 950,000 million yen, citing a “slight decrease in global hydraulic excavator demand” compared to the previous fiscal year.

For the 2019 fiscal year, net sales saw a 14.4 percent increase, rising to 545,949 million yen from 477,221 million yen from the previous fiscal year.

 

ACME rental investment, electric excavators

In reporting its results, Hitachi noted its 33.3-percent equity buy of ACME Lift, an Arizona-based equipment rental company, as part of its emphasis to “expand the source of revenue besides new machine sales.”

When the ACME purchase was announced in September, Hitachi said it would “support ACME in finance and through the utilization of its existing North American distribution channels.” Hitachi would also “expand ACME’s earthmoving equipment re-rental business and provide overall business support.”

As part of the ACME buy, Hitachi said it intends to expand its rental business globally and hopes to implement the experience it gains in the North American market in that expansion.

In its 2019 fiscal results, Hitachi also said that it had established a new German distribution company, EAC, to develop electric-powered 2-ton to 8-ton concept electric-powered compact excavators.

Hitachi noted that excavator demand increased globally year-over-year, with the exception of Japan, the Middle East and Africa. For North America, Hitachi reported a 23.7 percent increase in revenues, compared with the previous fiscal year.

Hitachi Construction Machinery is the parent company of Hitachi Construction Machinery Holding USA in Kernersville, North Carolina; and Hitachi Construction Machinery Loaders America, based in Newnan, Georgia. It also has a 50-percent interest in Deere-Hitachi Construction Machinery, also based in Kernersville. Hitachi and Deere celebrated the 30th year of its joint excavator manufacturing venture in 2018.

Telescoping arms with a wide reach and a doubled load capacity are key features of Toro’s new Dingo TXL 2000, which is in development. A new compact utility loader in development by Toro was the talk of the American Rental Association show in New Orleans, with passers-by eying the long reach of the vertical telescoping loader arms on the Dingo TXL 2000. The gleaming red prototype represented this model’s debut, and plenty of dealers and contractors got a peek of what’s to come with this machine, which is the first of its kind, according to Toro. “This machine won’t be out until the late part of 2018, and why we’re introducing it here is because it’s our 20-year anniversary of the Dingo product line,” Kevin Conry, senior marketing manager at Toro Siteworks in Bloomington, Minnesota, had explained during the show held February 19-21.
