Interview with Designers of the Ultra-Large Excavators
The cutting-edge technologies for downtime and maintenance cost reduction, developed on the world-class EX8000 Ultra-Large Excavator, are adopted to the New EX-6 Series Giant Models.
EX8000
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.
Powerful Engines - Ready for the task.
Time-proven twin Cummins diesel engines produces a total of 2 X 1 450 kW (2 X 1 940 HP) for handling the big excavation jobs.

Emission Control Engine - Helping to protect our environment.
Conforms 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.
Flow-Assisting Circuit - Allows dynamic actions.
Using the meter-in valves, ample-capacity makeup valves, and flow-assisting pumps, the flow speed is increased in cylinders for dynamic actions. Especially, between dumping and digging.
Larger Bucket Provides High Work Capacity.
Loading shovel bucket : 40.0 m3
Maximum Excavating Force.
Crowding force : 2 870 kN (293 000 kgf)
Breakout force : 2 230 kN (227 000 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.
