Hitachi marks a new era of productivity with its ultra-large hydraulic excavator
The EX5600-7P ultra-large hydraulic excavator backhoe features improved durability of the boom, arm, and upper body frame
The global release of Hitachi Construction Machinery's EX5600-7P ultra-large hydraulic excavator (operating weight of 558t) backhoe specification model marks a new era of Hitachi productivity. Compared to the current EX5600-7 model, the new version increases production capacity by 12 percent with improved durability of the boom, arm, and upper body frame.
Since the release of the UH50 (operating weight of 159t) ultra-large hydraulic excavator in 1979, Hitachi Construction Machinery's ultra-large hydraulic excavators have been operating at mining sites around the world, earning high praise for their work capacity, reliability, and durability.
The EX5600-7P ultra-large hydraulic excavator expands the bucket capacity compared to the current model and increases the power of the engine and hydraulic pump to improve the vehicle's operating speed and increase the production capacity by 12 percent. In addition, the excavator features expanded use of high-strength steel castings in the boom and improved structures and welding methods for the arm and upper body frame to enhance durability.
Main features
Increased production capacity by 12 percent
Increased the bucket capacity of the current model from 34 m3 to 37.5 m3. The operating speed of the vehicle was also improved by increasing the power of the engine and hydraulic pump. As a result, this increased the production capacity by 12 percent compared to the current model. In addition, the fuel efficiency (production capacity per liter of diesel fuel) was increased by roughly 10 percent compared to the current model.
Improved the durability of the boom, arm, and upper body frame
The scope of application of steel castings was expanded in the boom and the arm, as well, the upper body frame incorporated improved structures and welding methods to enhance durability. These changes will reduce the frequency of overhauls. In addition, access holes (patent pending) that can be opened and closed with bolts were installed in the boom to make it easier to inspect the inside of the boom.
Compatible with LANDCROS Connect Insight, a solution to increase mining operation efficiency
The EX5600-7P is compatible with LANDCROS Connect Insight, a solution that retrieves and analyzes operational data of mining machinery in near-real time to provide consulting services aimed at maximizing equipment performance.
