Check out the fresh new look for one of our Hitachi Zaxis 160LC Excavators! ???? Our in-house maintenance team put in the work to completely repaint this machine, starting with the removal of all engine compartment doors and hydraulic lines. After a full week of sanding to ensure a smooth, lasting finish, we got to painting. Once the smaller components were done, our team tackled the main body and boom, followed by reassembly and decal installation. Now, it's looking sharp and can already be seen on our jobsites, back to work! ????? #RCS #rcsmodernization #rcarlsonandsons #construction #equipmentmaintenance #painting #refurbishment #safety #excavator
