Hidromek HMK145 shines for Ruby

Ruby Civil is delighted with the purchase and performance of a Hidromek HMK145 excavator.

Ruby Civil is an excavation company in Sydney providing high-quality services to commercial and residential clients.

Despite being a relatively new company, its experienced team is committed to excellence, flexibility, and customer satisfaction.

The majority of the work includes subdivisions, residential work, remediation projects, small rural works, sand and sandstone work, and horse arenas.

Owner Tim McMurtrie has worked on everything from 1.7t to 50t excavators, and currently owns a posi-track loader, 8t excavator, tipper truck and the Hidromek HMK145 excavator.

Tim embarked on a journey to purchase his excavator, making sure he did his research as he was unfamiliar with Hidromek equipment.

It started when Tim watched a YouTube video of the Territory Manager from Onetrak conducting a walkthrough of the Hidromek HMK230 Grader.

Tim reached out to the sales team at Moorebank, as he was pricing a job that needed a grader and was investigating his options should that job come off.

While it didn't, Tim developed relationships with the Territory Managers that continued over time with regular catch-ups over the phone or in person.

On one of these regular meetings, they discussed a new project Tim was quoting.

At the time he was hiring another excavator and this was giving him trouble.
