2018 Hitachi Construction Machinery Mining Excavators & Shovels EX2600-6

The EX2600-6 is engineered to give you efficiency, reliability and durability for all kinds of jobs. You get strong horsepower, an efficient engine, a comfortable cab, advanced hydraulics, tough frames, powerful arm and bucket-digging forces and more. It’s available in backhoe and front-shovel configuration and you can choose between a diesel engine or electric motor. When you choose the EX2600-6, you get a powerful workhorse you can count on.

The EX2600-6 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:

• A fuel-efficient, Cummins QSKTA50-CE engine provides powerful performance with an Engine-Pump Control (E-P Control) system that efficiently adjusts power to your load demand.

• The rigid box design resists bending and twisting forces, giving you stability and strength on any job.

• High-mounted compact travel motors are protected from rock damage. Optional travel motor guards provide an even higher level of protection from damage.

• The cast steel structures, integrated into the center track frame, assist in avoiding stress concentration and increase reliability.

• The large bucket is shaped specifically to enhance digging and loading operations. Its sharp tilt angle helps boost operating efficiency by allowing the operator better use of the bucket digging forces, and after digging, keeping more of the material in the bucket while loading the haul truck.

• The advanced hydraulic system tops the industry for smooth, efficient combined operations of the front attachment and swing, delivering quick cycle times.

• Electric joystick control levers provide precise and almost effortless operation.

• The multi-display, color LCD monitor provides machine data, operating status and alerts at a glance. The monitor can be preset to indicate replacement intervals for engine oil, hydraulic oil and filters.

• The computer-aided Engine-Pump Control (E-P Control) system senses load demand and adjusts power to the work being performed.

• The one-lever leveling control boosts productivity through efficient operation of the bucket through the dig cycle. This is an exclusive Hitachi feature available on front shovel attachments.

• The sturdy cab protects operators from falling objects. The cab’s top guard conforms to OPG Level II (ISO) specifications. The entire cab sits on a package of fluid-filled elastic mounts that reduce vibrations and deliver a more comfortable ride.

• The 6.4-meter (21ft.) high, forward sloping cab provides a clear view of the work site – even when loading trucks.

• The air suspension, multi-position seat can be customized to the operator’s needs and adjusted according to operator weight.

• The well-insulated, pressurized cab keeps out dust and is air conditioned.

• Folding stairs with wide steps allow for easy accessibility, servicing and maintenance.

• The centralized filter circle system makes inspection and maintenance quicker and more convenient.

• A contamination sensor alerts the operator before it’s too late of accumulated contaminants in the oil that could cause damage.

• A walkway around the entire counterweight provides easy access to rear areas for faster, safer inspections and maintenance.
