Hitachi Mining Excavator & Shovel EX8000-6

Engine

• Tackle any job with twin Cummins QSK60C diesel engines that meet U.S. EPA Tier 2 emission regulations.

Durable structure and undercarriage

• The rigid box design resists bending and twisting forces, giving you stability and strength on any job.

• Rugged lower rollers, track shoes and drive tumblers sustain the giant body for increased durability.

• The cast steel, center track frame can avoid stress concentration and increase reliability.

Hydraulics

• Using the meter-in valves, ample capacity make-up valves and flow-assisting pumps, the flow speed is increased in cylinders for dynamic actions, like between dumping and digging.

• Flow-retarding control at cylinder stroke ends improves controllability and helps extend service life. This mechanism is provided for arm/bucket roll-in and roll-out.

Simple controls

• Electric joystick control levers provide precise and almost effortless operation.

• The multi-display LCD monitor provides machine data, operating status and alerts at a glance. The monitor can be preset to indicate replacement intervals for engine oil, hydraulic oil and filters.

• With constant correct track tension, travel is automatically stopped if the nitrogen gas accumulator pressure exceeds a preset level. Alert information and countermeasures are indicated on the multi-display LCD monitor.

Comfortable cab

• Four optional outside cameras can be mounted around the machine for enhanced visibility – virtually eliminating blind spots

• The sturdy cab protects operators from falling objects. The cab’s top guard meets OPG Level II (ISO) standards. The entire cab sits on a package of fluid-filled elastic mounts that absorb vibration for a more comfortable ride.

• The high-visibility, nine-meter (29 ft. 6 in.) cab height provides a clear view of the work site – even when loading the largest trucks.

• The air-suspension, multi-position seat can be customized to the operator’s needs and seat can be adjusted to accommodate the operator’s weight and personal preference.

• The well-insulated, pressurized cab keeps out dust and is air conditioned.

• Plenty of utility space located behind the operator seat allows for 24-hour operation. The space can accommodate a table, electric oven and refrigerator.

Easy to maintain

• High-pressure filters are located down-line from the pumps for easy maintenance.

• Folding stairs with wide steps allow for easy accessibility, servicing and maintenance.

• Convenient centralized filter system designed to make filter inspection and maintenance easier.

• The auto-lubrication system for the front joint pins and swing circle saves service time.

• A contamination sensor alerts the operator of accumulated contaminants in the oil before damage might occur.

• Ejectors automatically expel dust from the air cleaners, giving you one less routine maintenance task.

• A protective steel barrier between the engine and pump bulkhead contributes to lower heat and less potential for damage.

Remote Machine Management

• With Global e-Service, an online machine management system, you can access each on-site machine from a PC in your office. You can get its operating information and location to increase productivity. Operating data and log are sent to a Hitachi server for processing, and then to customer and dealers. This system is available 24/7/365.
