Effective May 1, 2021, West Side Tractor Sales expanded its equipment offerings with the Hitachi mining product line in Illinois and several counties in northwest Indiana. This additional contract adds to the dealership's Hitachi construction products already available.
The Hitachi mining equipment portfolio includes mining excavators with 1200 size shovels and up. Models include the EX1200-7, EX1900-6, EX2600-7, EX3600-7, EX5600-7 and EX8000-6. The West Side Tractor team will provide parts and service support to Hitachi mining operations throughout the territory, as well as product support for rigid frame trucks.
"We've been selling and supporting Hitachi construction equipment for many years so this is a natural transition for us to represent more products within the Hitachi family. With the addition of the mining equipment, we look forward to being able to expand into even more customer operations and provide the high level of expertise and support they expect," said Brian Benck, vice president of sales and third generation owner.
At West Side Tractor, the dealership team provides many resources and tools to support equipment throughout its entire lifecycle. For production class equipment, like Hitachi mining products, customers can enroll in a customizable preventative maintenance plan, as well as a robust fleet monitoring program powered by ZXLink telematics.
