Franco Clò, Hitachi dealer for Northeastern Italy, brings the Hitachi ZX530 to the Dolomites region — a powerful story of synergy, told through the words of an expert journalist.
There’s an orange thread running through the valleys of Belluno — drawn by the tracks and the sheer power of an excavator unlike any other. It’s the Hitachi ZX530, a rare machine to encounter in Italy, and even more impressive to see at work in such a fascinating and demanding environment as the Dolomites.
The story is told by Costantino Radis, a journalist who has been following the evolution of the construction industry for years. With his direct and engaging style, Radis captures the emotion of standing before a giant that, despite its imposing size, moves with millimetric precision.
The ZX530 is no ordinary excavator. Weighing over 50 tons, powered by an engine exceeding 300 kW, and equipped with buckets capable of handling up to 3.5 m³ of material in a single cycle, it belongs to a class that combines strength and productivity without compromise. Every bucket stroke tells its story — digging, lifting, and moving massive volumes of material with effortless power that leaves anyone watching in awe.
Its presence in the Belluno area also bears our signature: Franco Clò, long-time Hitachi dealer for Northeastern Italy. We see ourselves not just as suppliers of machines, but as partners who understand the needs of local companies — building over the years a relationship based on trust and tangible results (or at least, that’s what we strive for).
Bringing a machine like the ZX530 to a worksite means believing in the importance of offering businesses the tools that can truly make a difference. And bringing it to a Dolomiti Strade site — a major player in the region — adds even greater significance.
Radis’ story highlights this very synergy: the power of Hitachi technology, the expertise of those who provide it, Franco Clò, and the unique context of the client — in this case, Dolomiti Strade. The result is a vivid picture where the excavator’s tracks leave deep marks not only in the ground but also in the memory of those who witness it in action.
Following the “tracks” of Hitachi in these mountains becomes more than just a report from a job site — it’s a testament to how people, machines, and landscapes can come together to tell stories that capture both the emotion and the reality of an entire industry.
