Certain job conditions may require higher TKPH(TMPH) in order to maintain maximum production. Hitachi recommends evaluating the job conditions and consulting the tire manufacturer to make proper tire selection. Optional rims available.

Twenty-four volt system. 260 ampere engine driven alternator. Eight 4D heavy duty maintenance free batteries connected in series/parallel.
Batteries are side mounted to radiator guard at ground level.

Body capacity and payload subject to change based on customer specific material density and application.

Flow-amplified, closed-center hydrostatic power steering system using two double-acting cylinders with pressure unloading type compensated piston pump and a brake actuation/steering system reservoir. Dual-Hitachi accumulators provide supplementary steering in accordance with J/ISO 5010 and constant steering rate under all conditions.
A Tilt/telescopic steering wheel with 35 degrees of tilt and 57.15 mm (2.25") telescopic travel is standard.

Two (2) Hitachi three-stage, double-acting cylinders, with cushioning in retraction, containing dual rod seals and urethane energized scrapers, inverted and outboard mounted. Separate reservoir and tandem gear pump connects with a four position electronic pilot controlled hoist valve. Electric controller is mounted to operator's seat.

Brake systems meet or surpass SAE J/ISO 3450.

All-hydraulic actuated braking system provides precise braking control and quick system response. The system is pressure proportioned, front to rear, for improved slippery road control.
The Hitachi wet disc brake is engineered for long service life, even in the most extreme environments. The wet disc brakes are located on the rear axle and provide service braking and secondary braking functions.
The brakes are of a multi-plate design and continuously oilcooled.

Dual independent hydraulic circuits within the service brake system provide fully modulated reserve braking capability. Both front dry disc and rear wet disc are automatically applied when loss of pressure is detected.

Four spring on, hydraulic off armature disc brake heads provide parking capabilities. The braking system complies with J/ISO 3450.

Superior retardation to zero speed on grades is achieved through AC wheel motors in conjunction with the Siemens resistor grid package.
A recessed grid box, located on the service deck, enhances operator visibility. Cooling for the grid package is achieved with forced air flow provided by a blower driven by a single electric motor.

Through activation of a switch by the operator, a solenoid is energized, sending full brake pressure to apply the rear Wet Disc brakes. For use during the load and dump cycles.

CONTRONIC II monitors and diagnoses all onboard systems including Siemens drive system and engine. Data links offer complete integration, while a single multi-language Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) clearly details machine functions. Downtime is minimized with faster and more reliable troubleshooting and analysis.
HAULTRONIC III load weighing system offers benefits such as better equipment utilization on the jobsite, accurate unit and fleet production results, and benchmark unit statistics against fleet results.
Cycle time, distance and cycle count can all be measured and recorded to further improve job productivity. HAULTRONIC III is fully integrated with CONTRONIC II vehicle monitoring system and display interface, avoiding potential failure or error common in aftermarket systems.

A removable front closure allows easy access to the service brake valve and heater connections. The upper dash utilizes four (4) removable panels that house gauges and customer options, each individually accessible. A removable closure located behind the seat provides easy access to the shifting control, CONTRONIC II, and all electrical junction points.

A wrap-around style dashboard positions controls within easy reach and visual contact. A full complement of easy-to-read gauges, CONTRONIC II monitoring and warning system, a spacious environment, six-way adjustable air seat, tilt/telescopic steering wheel, filtered ventilation, door locks, and a full size trainer seat, all contribute to operator safety and comfort.

For years, Hitachi haulers have enjoyed an industry-wide reputation for superior suspension systems. That experience and knowledge has now been elevated to the next level, to develop the truly advanced ACCU-TRAC suspension for the EH5000.

The new ACCU-TRAC suspension system features independent trailing arms for each front wheel with NEOCON struts, containing energy absorbing gas and compressible NEOCON-E (TM) fluid, mounted between the king pins and the frame. This arrangement allows a wider front track that provides a better ride, improved stability and a reduced turning circle. The rear NEOCON struts are mounted in a more vertical position which allows a more pure axial loading and reduces the tractive and braking forces transmitted to the nose cone.

Hitachi NEOCON struts outperform competitive strut designs by improving isolation, stability, and control. Improved isolation means reduced impact loading on the structural members of the machine and greater operator comfort, resulting in longer equipment life and productivity. Improved stability means more consistent dynamic response of the machine to fluctuating load energy, resulting in predictable machine performance. Improved control also means better machine maneuverability.

The Hitachi frame and ACCU-TRAC suspension system are designed to work in unison to provide maximum structural integrity and operator comfort. The fabricated rectangular frame rail construction provides superior resistance to bending and torsional loads while eliminating unnecessary weight. The unique ACCU-TRAC independent trailing arm suspension absorbs haul road input, minimizing suspension-induced frame twisting while providing independent tire action. NEOCON ride struts are mounted with spherical bushings, eliminating extreme sidewall forces by ensuring a purely axial input to the ride strut. The wide track stance of the ACCU-TRAC suspension system and the long wheel base assure a more stable, comfortable ride.

Full fabricated box section main rails with section height tapered from rear to front. Wider at the rear to support the loads and narrower at the front to allow for engine accessibility. One piece top and bottom flanges that eliminate cross member tie in joints and provide a large exposed center area for access to major components.
Large radii minimize stress concentrations. Welded joints are oriented longitudinally to the principal flow of stress for greater durability and more strength. Frame utilizes 345 N/mm² (50 000 psi) yield strength alloy steel that is robotically welded to ensure high quality welds.
Superior design, robot welding and ultrasonic testing using state-of- theart technology produces "Euc Tough" frames that minimize castings and vertical welds to better accept all stresses.
Zero plug-in joints ensure maximum frame strength.

Flat chute type, sloped floor, continuously exhaust-heated.
Extended canopy protects service deck area. High tensile strength 400 BHN abrasion resistant alloy steel is used in thicknesses of:

High strength 690 N/mm² (100 000 psi) alloy steel is also used for the canopy side members and floor stiffeners. The body is rubber cushioned on the frame.
