2018 Hitachi Construction Machinery Mining Excavators & Shovels EX8000-6

There’s no job too big for the EX8000-6. It’s our largest mining shovel, and it delivers incredible arm crowding, breakout force and horsepower. You get efficient engines, a comfortable cab, advanced hydraulics, a tough frame and powerful arm- and bucket-digging forces so you can get more work done every day.

The EX8000-6 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:

• Tackle any job with twin Cummins QSK60C diesel engines that meet U.S. EPA Tier 2 emission regulations.

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

• Rugged lower rollers, track shoes and drive tumblers sustain the giant body for increased durability.

• The cast steel, center track frame can avoid stress concentration and increase reliability.

• Using the meter-in valves, ample capacity make-up valves and flow-assisting pumps, the flow speed is increased in cylinders for dynamic actions, like between dumping and digging.

• Flow-retarding control at cylinder stroke ends improves controllability and helps extend service life. This mechanism is provided for arm/bucket roll-in and roll-out.

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

• The multi-display 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.

• With constant correct track tension, travel is automatically stopped if the nitrogen gas accumulator pressure exceeds a preset level. Alert information and countermeasures are indicated on the multi-display LCD monitor.

• The sturdy cab protects operators from falling objects. The cab’s top guard meets OPG Level II (ISO) standards. The entire cab sits on a package of fluid-filled elastic mounts that absorb vibration for a more comfortable ride.

• The high-visibility, nine-meter (29 ft. 6 in.) cab height provides a clear view of the work site – even when loading the largest trucks.

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

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

• Plenty of utility space located behind the operator seat allows for 24-hour operation. The space can accommodate a table, electric oven and refrigerator.
