2018 Hitachi Construction Machinery Mining Excavators & Shovels EX1200-6

Just like the rest of the Hitachi excavators, the EX1200-6 (available in both front-shovel and backhoe configurations) has a rock-solid reputation. It is engineered to give you the flexibility to handle many different jobs. You get strong horsepower, an efficient engine, comfortable cab, advanced hydraulics, tough frame and powerful arm- and bucket-digging forces so you can get more work done every day.

The EX1200-6 comes standard equipped with Hitachi’s Global e-Service remote machine management system, which gives you access to each on-site machine from a PC in your office.

Features may include:

• Get more uptime from the efficient Cummins EPA Tier 2 diesel engine that’s one of the most fuel-efficient engines of all, plus is very eco-friendly.

• Two grease-filled floating pins, at the boom top and at linkage, increase the sealing ability, extend pin life and reduce repair costs. Wear plates are provided on both sides of a boss at the arm top.

• The travel devices are compact-designed to reduce damage for higher mobility, reducing downtime.

• The center track frame of integral cast steel structure can avoid stress concentration and increase reliability.

• Track links are enlarged to increase strength for higher durability and reliability especially on rugged ground.

• You get rock-solid durability from a rigid box frame that resists bending and twisting forces, and provides great strength and balance to handle heavy digging and loading jobs.

• The EX1200-6 provides you with an upgraded, more brawny undercarriage. The larger diameter swing bearing provides increased reliability and durability, plus improved stability.

• Both standard and BE booms have thicker plate steel. The buckets are stronger and larger, and the refined mechanisms produce increased lift capacity and durability.

• You can get optional full-length track guards that protect the tracks against rocks and other objects. In addition, wider track shoes and a longer undercarriage frame are available to improve flotation in soft conditions.

• You get flexible boom/swing modes. The boom- or swing-priority mode can be selected for higher production.

• When swing angle is small in a cycle of digging, swinging and dumping, boom raise speed increases to reduce a cycle time. When swing angle is large in a cycle of digging, swinging and dumping, swing speed increases to reduce a cycle time.

• The boom recirculation system efficiently recirculates oil in the boom circuit when the boom lowers, delivering more pressurized oil to the arm to increase arm-lowering speed

• The oil cooler is separated from the radiator to effectively cool down hydraulic oil. This helps extend the service life of hydraulics.

• The color LCD monitor displays operating and machine-event information, which adds to productivity and helps lower downtime with better, on-time maintenance.

• The short-throw pilot control levers provide extremely precise and smooth boom and bucket control, requiring less effort and movement.
