Giant-Sized Productivity Based on Hitachi's Theory of Evolution.
Each Hitachi generation listens to the needs of the work site and gives birth to an even-better new generation.
Bucket Passes to Dump Trucks
Powerful Engines - Ready for the task.
Time-proven Cummins diesel engines produce a total of 2 X 1 044 kW (2 X 1 400 HP) for handling the big excavation jobs.
2 X 1 044 kW (2 X 1 400 HP)
Emission Control Engines - Helping to protect our environment.
Conform to U.S. EPA Tier II emission regulations.
Efficient E-P Control - Adjusts power output to the work being performed.
Hitachi's computer-aided Engine-Pump Control (E-P Control) coaxes optimum efficiency from the engines and hydraulic pumps. This innovative system senses load demand and controls engine and pump output for maximum operating efficiency.
Larger Bucket Provides High Work Capacity.
Loading shovel bucket : 27.0 m3
Backhoe bucket : 29.0 m3
Maximum Excavating Force.
Loading shovel : Arm crowding force : 1 570 kN (160 000 kgf)
Breakout force : 1 570 kN (160 000 kgf)
Backhoe : Arm crowd force : 1 240 kN (126 000 kgf)
Bucket digging force : 1 370 kN (140 000 kgf)
Large Bucket - Designed to enhance efficiency.
The large bucket has been shaped specifically to enhance scooping and loading operations. Its sharp tilt angle helps boost operating efficiency.
Productivity-Boosting Auto-Leveling Mechanism - One-lever leveling control.
This is another unique Hitachi function developed exclusively for more efficient leveling operations.
