The Danish company HM-Entreprenør is based just 1.5 km from the JMM Group headquarters, Liebherr’s Danish distributor. In 2017, HM-Entreprenør ordered 12 machines from Generation 6. Following the Bauma construction industry trade fair in 2019 in Munich, the company acquired 12 new Liebherr crawler excavators to replace Generation 6 excavators, and in early 2021 more excavators will be delivered.
Horsens (Denmark), 7th January 2020 – HM-Entreprenør is convinced more than ever by our machines’ quality and performance. Company manager Leif Ejlertzen needs to replace machines, and “this time it will be Liebherr.” The company currently operates nine R 926s, three R 945s, to be joined by two new R 914 Compacts in early 2021. The machines are from Generation 8 of crawler excavators, presented at Bauma 2019 in Munich. It was there that Leif Rudebeck Petersen of the JMM Group and Michael Mortensen of HM-Entreprenør closed the deal. The proximity of the two companies is very convenient for the delivery, but this was not the only criterion taken into account: service, quality and the competent people also played major roles. Johs. Møllers Machines A/S has over 75 years of experience and now covers all of the Danish market.

Impressive Performance Of Generation 8 Excavators
Leif Ejlertzen, the coordinator of the construction company, is impressed by the latest generation of excavators’ performance. He was pleasantly surprised by the Generation 6 excavators in 2017, but the improvements made mean the Generation 8 machines’ performance is “even more impressive”. Liebherr excavators will be used in the Danish company’s most significant project: the construction of a 240,000 m² logistics centre. Large quantities of earth must be shifted in this project, so the Generation 8 excavators’ power is a great asset for this site. Machine reliability is also important, because every machine stoppage represents a huge cost to the business.
Generation 8 crawler excavators are equipped for the future. Engine power is increased, the counterweight is heavier, and the bucket capacities are higher. The overall performance is, therefore, much greater.
Leif Ejlertzen, coordinator of HM-Entreprenør, talks to Ruben Hom Andersen, operator of one of three Liebherr R 945s.
“The Best Service”
The Danish company works with the local dealer Johs. Møllers Machines. HM-Entreprenør has a full-service contract for all of its machines. Leif Ejlertzen is familiar with the competitors’ level of service, and according to him “none of them compares to the JMM Group”. The Service is very important, the machines are all operating simultaneously, so the company needs to be sure that no problems will slow down the project. Also, maintenance is easier and safer on the new Generation 8 models. All service points are accessible from ground level. Engine oil, hydraulic oil, fuel and urea levels can be monitored the instrument panel display.

The construction of Koru-Soin Dam in Kisumu, Kenya, is set to begin after an agreement was reached between the National Water Harvesting and Storage Authority (NSHA) and the community living on the land earmarked for the project.
The Koru-Soin multipurpose dam is designed to control flooding, supply water for domestic and industrial consumers in the city of Kisumu and the satellite towns of Ahero, Awasi, Muhoroni, and Koitaburot; supply the existing irrigation schemes of Ahero and West Kano; and generate power at an associated two MW hydropower plant.
Upon completion, the project is expected to provide 1,02,000 cu m per day of water to a population of 1.71 million and end water shortages in the neighbouring counties of Kericho, Nandi, and Kisumu.
