Salt Lake City welcomes 173,000 sq ft Hitachi warehouse

Thanks to a new Salt Lake City Parts Warehouse opening, parts for Hitachi construction and mining machinery will now arrive to dealers a few days quicker. The new facility is expected to reduce downtime and get machinery up and running again with minimal delay. 

In a press release, Hitachi Construction Machinery Co. Ltd. announced the opening of their new facility, saying the warehouse in Salt Lake City will service customers in western North America, including Utah, Alaska, and Alberta, Canada. The 173,621 sq ft. warehouse can ship up to 500 orders a day from its inventory of 30,000 different parts, made up primarily of main parts for hydraulic excavators and wheel loaders commonly used for general civil engineering projects and main parts for ultra-large hydraulic excavators used in mining operations. 

Before the construction of the Salt Lake facility, replacement parts for Hitachi construction equipment were shipped from warehouses outside Atlanta, Georgia; the new facility is expected to shorten delivery times by up to three days. LOGISTEED America, Inc. will run warehouse operations at the Salt Lake City facility, while a third-party company will take on distribution operations.

The new warehouse is part of Hitachi’s continued effort to strengthen its parts supply system. Regarding the importance of this new parts warehouse, Hitachi says, “The Hitachi Construction Machinery Group will continue to contribute to the stable operation of customer machinery through the rapid and reliable supply of service parts in the future.”
