A full 360 degree rotation of the upperstructure brings a new productivity. It allows efficient loading and dumping in all directions, and rearward travel with the operator facing in advancing direction.
A big advantage from the new-generation rubber crawler carriers the EG40R, EG70R and EG110R.

A full 360 degree rotation of the upperstructure reduces steering.
This means less wear of rubber crawlers, longer life of undercarriage components, and less fuel consumption.
There is no need for a U-turn.

To improve durability, the dump body uses the D-section frame, already time-tested on Hitachi hydraulic excavators, at its sides, and high-tensile steel plates and well-arranged beams at its bottom.

Lower rollers use large-size bearings. Track adjuster and bogies come from Hitachi hydraulic excavators.

The full-open hood gives easy access to the engine.

The Hitachi original HN bushings, employed at the bogie hinges, help extend lubricating intervals up to 500 hours.

For better right-side downward visibility, the engine is centered on the EG40R, and mounted transversely on the EG70R and EG110R.

The monitor and switches are grouped for easy reading.
