Hitachi EX8000

The bucket capacity is a big 40.0 m³ (52.3 yd³), with a perfect match for a 300-ton dump truck, requiring merely four bucket passes to load.

Well Matched: EX8000 & Dump Truck

Maximum Excavating Force.

Crowding force: 2 870 kN (293 000 kgf, 645 000 lbf)
Breakout force : 2 230 kN (227 000 kgf, 501 000 lbf)

Powerful Engines/ Ready for the task.

Time-proven twin Hitachi diesel engine produces a total of 2 X 1 400 kW (2 X 1 900 PS) for handling the big excavation jobs.

Emission Control Engine/ Helping to protect our environment.

Conforms to U.S. EPA Tier I emission regulations.

Efficient E-P Control/ Adjusts power output to the work being performed.

Hitachi's computer-aided Engine-Pump Control (E-P Control) coaxes optimum efficiency from the engine and hydraulic pumps. This innovative system senses load demand and controls engine and pump output for maximum operating efficiency.

Flow-Assisting Circuit/ Allows dynamic actions.

Using the meter-in valves, ample-capacity make-up valves, and flow-assisting pumps, the flow speed is increased in cylinders for dynamic actions. Especially, between dumping and digging. The result is a short cycle time, comparable with the smaller model EX5500-5.

High Visibility 9.0 Meter (29' 6") Cab Height/ Providing a good view of the work area.

Gives the operator a good view, even when a large 300 ton class dump truck is being loaded. This high height and forward-sloping cab provides a view that boosts productivity.

Rugged Comfortable Cab/ Protects the operator from falling objects.

Fluid filled elastic mounts help absorb vibration to provide durability and a comfortable ride. The top guard, conforming to OPG* level II (ISO), is provided on the cab roof.
* Operator Protective Guards

Plenty of Utility Space/ Allows full 24-hour operation.

Plenty of utility space is provided behind the operator seat to hold a table, electronic oven, and refrigerator. This allows a full 24-hour operation for higher productivity.

Efficient Cab Layout/ All controls within natural reach of operator.

The ergonomic layout of the cab means the operator will do less stretching and reaching when operating the controls. This adds up to less operator fatigue and greater operating efficiency.

Electric Joystick Levers/ Provides pleasant control with less fatigue.

Electric joystick control levers have a feather-touch allowing long periods of effortless operation. Its stroke is much shorter than that of hydraulic control.

Air Suspension Seat with Auto Operator Weight Adjuster.

The operator seat cushion can automatically be adjusted according to the operator weight. This is convenient for a machine operated by two or more operators.

Adjustable Sliding Cockpit/ Moves to the best position for the operator.

The operator can adjust the position of the levers and the seat to custom fit his size and operating style.

Constant-Cab-Comfort Air Conditioner/ Keeps the cab pressurized to keep out dust while maintaining comfortable temperature.

Intelligent Multi-Display Monitor provides machine data and operating status at a glance.

The operator can monitor machine conditions and operating status with a 10.5-inch color LCD. The controller provides instant fault diagnosis through all sensors, displaying warnings and countermeasures if failure arises.

Major Functions:

Multiple meters, and alert symbols indication
Alert/failure status, and countermeasures indication
Snap-shot function that stores operating data, including fiveminute operating data immediately before alerting, and succeeding one-minute data (temperatures, pressures, and more)
Setting oil change intervals with alerting

Much more functions are provided to ease maintenance and servicing.

Outside Cameras (Option)/ Enhances operating safety.

The operator can monitor around the machine, using four cameras (option) to eliminate blind spots.
