Perfect Match for 300-ton Dump Trucks

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.

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)

Caterpillar D10N

This model weighs in at around 140,000 lbs and features over 500 horsepower. It is not the largest dozer around, as there is a 750 horsepower class as well, but the D10 is still a serious dozer. Dozers of this size haven't been around all that long (perhaps 20 years) but they are very productive. This compares to the D9 class machine (the next size smaller) which has been around since the late 1950's.

Cat was not the first out with a over 500 horsepower machine--the credit for that goes to Fiat Allis with their FA 41 (big brother to the FA 31 featured on another page, but Fiat Allis is out of the giant tractor market, and Cat is dominating it. The enormous cost and logistical problems in moving these machines limits their usefulness to major mining operations, but there they shine.

The ripper and the blade are both off of it. Removal of these items it not technically difficult as the blade bolts on with only a few bolts, and the ripper pins on with a few pins and some hydraulic hoses, but the sheer mass size of the pieces makes it a challenge and requires that a substantial crane be available at the assembly site.

5DT Training Simulator
External view of a dozer in action.

5DT has a wide range of Mining products. The dozer operates and responds just like the real dozer would real life. 5DT's industry-leading ground interaction technology ensures that the training is as realistic as possible.

5DT (Fifth Dimension Technologies) is a high technology company specializing in Virtual Reality (VR). 5DT develops, produces and distributes VR hardware, software and systems. 5DT also develops turnkey VR systems for clients.

5DT's main focus is Training Simulators (Virtual Reality), Training Systems (Computer Based Training - CBT) and Virtual Reality Peripherals. Most of the 5DT systems and products may be customized to suit the requirements of a user.

5DT (Fifth Dimension Technologies) believe that:
"Virtual Reality is not intended to replace reality-based training; instead, it is a po5DT (Fifth Dimension Technologies)rful training medium to prepare the trainee for reality-based training."

5DT (Fifth Dimension Technologies) also believe that:
"If a picture says more than a thousand words, a virtual reality experience says more than a million." Virtual Reality is the ultimate training medium.

The Virtual Reality industry has been plagued by hype. This led to unrealistically high expectations by prospective users, and generally gave the industry a bad name when these expectations could not be met. With this in mind, 5DT (Fifth Dimension Technologies) coined our company slogan:
5DT - Virtual Reality for the Real World! SM

Our Mission is to provide solid solutions that work 5DT (Fifth Dimension Technologies)ll.

5DT (Fifth Dimension Technologies) strive to be low on hype, and high on results. Instead of promising prospective customers the world, 5DT (Fifth Dimension Technologies) have adopted a 'Technology Demonstrator' approach. If a client approaches us for a training solution, and 5DT (Fifth Dimension Technologies) do not have a suitable product that would match the training needs of the client directly, 5DT (Fifth Dimension Technologies) demonstrate similar products to the client. This helps us to determine the exact training needs of the client. 5DT (Fifth Dimension Technologies) then normally propose the development of a 'Technology Demonstrator'. With such a demonstrator 5DT (Fifth Dimension Technologies) try to provide the client with a system that addresses the most important and critical issues of the required training solution. 5DT (Fifth Dimension Technologies) normally develop the Tech Demo at a fraction of the cost of the final solution. The Tech Demos have proven to be very useful for our clients to visualize their solutions in advance, and also to demonstrate the proposed solution to their superiors or board members that have to make the final buying decision. The Tech Demo is also an ideal specification development tool.

5DT (Fifth Dimension Technologies) fully realize that:
"It is easy to promise; much more difficult to demonstrate".
5DT (Fifth Dimension Technologies) therefore try to base our promises on technologies that 5DT (Fifth Dimension Technologies) have mastered.

5DT developed their own Software Development Kit (5DT SDK). The 5DT SDK is a comprehensive set of C++ class libraries that contain components for building Virtual Reality applications. This fully-documented SDK enables 5DT developers to share and re-use developed code. Using the 5DT SDK, technology demonstrators and full training solutions may be developed much faster than before.

Virtual Reality is our passion! Whilst doing everything documented in this 5DT (Fifth Dimension Technologies)b site, 5DT (Fifth Dimension Technologies) also strive to enjoy what 5DT (Fifth Dimension Technologies) are doing.

Reliable Genset C-175
The launch of the C-175 generator comes against the background of the success of the Caterpillar 3500 series of generators, which have proven reliable and the leaders of their class. This newest genset is equipped with centerline engine and up to 4MW of power.

The new CAT C-175 has been speci? cally engineered to address the current and future needs of the worldwide electric power industry. It is the result of extensive customer research to identify key product bene? ts sought by our engine and generator set customers�, said William J. Rohner, Vice President of Caterpillar Electric Power Division.

The big event in Singapore was attended by Caterpillar dealers, customers and consultants from the Asia Paci? c, including 15 people from Trakindo who brought with them some of their customers.

During the event, Steve Kilgallon, General Manager Power Systems Division Trakindo, said, �The CAT C-175 is the ? rst of its kind to be introduced into this part of the world and has terri? c potential for Indonesia�. Steve added that the C-175 is the ideal choice in Indonesia, especially for big construction projects that require operational standby power. What makes this model superior is the amount of power it can produce. The C-175 does not look very di? erent from the 3516, yet it can produce 50% more power. This will allow customers to cut their power house costs, bringing them signi? cant savings.

The C-175 genset was designed for industries that need a lot of power, either for standby, prime or continuous use, or for load management applications. This includes the health, commercial, institutional, government, public services, data center, energy utilities, manufacturing, industrial, logistics and communications sectors. With the new design of the engine, the C-175 has the tested ability to provide reliable power.

The Engine of the CAT C-175 is supported by five systems; the air system, fuel system, electronic system, cooling system and lube system. Together, these systems produced a world-class Engine, as seen from the use of ACERT technology to support the five systems.
