Honnen Equipment, one of the largest John Deere construction equipment dealerships in the Western United States recently acquired the contract for Hitachi excavators and haul trucks for its locations in Denver, Durango and Grand Junction, Colo. Honnen Equipment also has authorized Hitachi locations in Casper, Gillette and Rock Springs, Wyo.; in Salt Lake City, Ogden and St. George, Utah; and in Idaho Falls, Idaho.

This contract authorizes Honnen Equipment to rent, sell and support new Hitachi excavators from compact excavators all the way up to the 760 hp mining shovel EX1200-6 and Hitachi rigid frame haul trucks up to 100 tons in these markets. These branches are now authorized service centers providing OEM parts, service and warranty. Honnen Equipment is very pleased with the expansion in offerings for these markets in Colorado.

“We are proud to represent the Hitachi brand in Colorado. This contract will allow Honnen to better serve our local customers as well as our larger customers who may have work all across the Rocky Mountain region,” Mark Honnen said. “We are continuously looking for ways to partner with our customers, to provide superior customer service and value through the lowest owning and operating costs while representing world-class products like Hitachi Construction Machinery.”
