HITACHI CONSTRUCTION MACHINERY

Hitachi machines have a 12-month period of standard warranty with a maximum of 2,000 to 3,000 operating hours, depending on machine type. During this period HCME fully guarantees Hitachi machines sold through HCME to be free from material and workmanship defects. After these initial 12 months there is an option to further extend the warranty coverage period and operating hours as part of HELP.

Usually our standard warranty term is one year or until the specified service meter reading (whichever comes first). HELP stands for Hitachi Extended Life Program and it offers a number of coverage options for a specific period and number of operating hours. This program extends the term of specified service meter reading beyond the yearly term. When you sign up for the HELP program, you will get the following benefits and services:
