EX5500
Rigid Box Design - Resists bending and twisting forces.
Computer-assisted analysis was used to check that the frame box can withstand heavy-duty excavation work.
Solid Cast Track Frame - More strength for this key area.
The track frame is cast as a solid unit and includes a flange for improved reliability. This non-welded design is used exclusively on large Hitachi models.
Rugged Track Links - Shoes include roller guides for extended service life.
This design has proven itself on Hitachi's popular Giant EX Series. The roller guides have been added to help extend service life.
Constant Correct Track Tension - Nitrogen gas accumulators absorb abnormal track tension.
Helps prevent abnormal track tension from causing damage. Travel is automatically stopped if accumulator pressure exceeds a preset level.
Strategically Positioned Oil Coolers - Helps keep oil temperatures lower.
Two oil coolers are used for optimal cooling efficiency. They are positioned far from the engine radiator for even better cooling potential.
High-Pressure Filter - Provides clean oil.
Hydraulic oil is filtered at high pressure to remove damage-causing contaminants. This filter is positioned down-line from the pumps to help prevent damage in the rare event of pump failure. Positioned for easy maintenance.
