French customer favours excavator with Leica Geosystems machine control

With a long-standing commitment to Japanese technology, Bastian Marsaleix explains why he has invested in a new Zaxis-7 excavator equipped with the latest machine guidance and safety innovations.

Quality and innovation Founded in 1980 and based in Corrèze in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, Marsaleix TP specialises in public works, encompassing water and wastewater networks, earthmoving, riprap, land clearing, stonework, demolition, and the transport and sale of materials.

Managed by Bastien Marsaleix, the company focuses on quality and innovation, favouring proximity to its customers.

Since his first purchase of a Hitachi mini excavator in 2005, Bastien has always preferred Japanese equipment, renowned for its reliability.

The acquisition of the Hitachi ZX225USLC-7 marks a turning point for the company, as it is equipped with additional technology including advanced 2D with 3D-ready Leica Geosystems machine control that is factory-fitted by Hitachi Construction Machinery (Europe) NV.

Increased productivity and safety

By helping the operator to complete work right first time, this technology contributes to optimal efficiency. For some tasks, it increases productivity by up to 30%, uses less fuel by more than 20% and significantly enhances safety.

The advanced technology of the Zaxis-7 excavator also saves energy. By minimising rework and improving efficiency, this machine considerably reduces CO2 emissions by more than 20% to meet current environmental regulations.

Built on trust

Bastien’s latest acquisition is also a result of his trust in Lima TP, the local authorised Hitachi dealer since 2016. He will continue to work with them on future projects, appreciating the quality of service and ease of communication with this family-owned company.

“Lima TP is our ideal partner, combining technical expertise, constant support and flexibility. Thanks to this collaboration, Marsaleix TP benefits not only from high-performance machines, but also tailor-made support to guarantee optimum operational efficiency.”

Another important benefit for Bastien is the comfort of the cab and the simplicity of its user interface. “Unlike other brands of machine I’ve bought before, the intuitive controls of the Hitachi make it extremely easy to use, even for my less experienced operators.”
