Hirst Civil and Cartage proudly introduces a new Kobelco SK140SRLC-7 to their fleet
Jason Hirst, founder of Hirst Civil and Cartage started his career as an excavator operator right after finishing high school. He invested in his first excavator, the tough SK55SRX, and recruited his father as a truck driver. Four years ago, he delved into entrepreneurship, which has been a mix of achievements and challenges. He approached the business world with resolve, embracing the challenges of maintenance schedules, optimising fuel usage, and striving for operational effectiveness. Yet, amongst the challenges, there were moments of pure joy – those instances when he found himself lost in the rhythm of the digging work, parallel to a kid lost in the immersive world of a sandpit, as described by Jason.
Jason’s business has established a prominent position in the excavation sector, providing a wide range of services from bank stabilisation to complex waterway restoration. Their expertise extends beyond earthmoving. One standout project in Jason’s portfolio is in Ngahere Terrace involving the Parnell Inlet upgrade and stream remediation. Here, his team’s expertise and Kobelco excavators proved instrumental.
Jason is currently focusing on the Hoteo River where he faces numerous challenges but also enjoys rewarding outcomes. With the SK140SRLC-7 excavator, his team gracefully maneuvers through the rough terrain, carrying out precise work along the riverbank. Whether it’s carving out benches or placing rocks with accuracy, the excavator’s agility and power play a crucial role in ensuring the project’s success.
Having a strong preference for Kobelco excavators, Jason’s loyalty is deeply rooted in his firsthand experiences. From the compact SK55SRX to the sturdy SK140SRLC-7, each excavator has made a significant impact on his journey, showcasing reliability, innovation, and top-class performance. Among them, the SK140SRLC-7 stands out for its user-friendly design, fuel efficiency, and user-friendly controls, making it a favoured choice among professionals like Jason.
Jason’s endorsement of the SK140SRLC-7 is not just based on his extensive experience but also on his proven track record of success. From its seamless operation to its unmatched comfort and hydraulic precision, this excavator truly represents excellence in excavation equipment.
In the ever-evolving world of excavation, Jason Hirst serves as a role model for many individuals in the industry who aspire to start their entrepreneurial journey. His story demonstrates that with dedication and perseverance, one can achieve any goal.
