Built for quality,

built to last.
Best in eld.
Designed and manufactured to provide
outstanding production with low operating
costs, the new EX8000-6 builds on the
strengths of machines that went before.
Added to enhanced elements of the groundbreaking UH Series of the 1970s and the
EX Series that succeeded it are numerous
improvements and features suggested by
mining professionals from around the world.
Many of our shovels are still out there putting
in shift after productive shift well past the
100,000-hour mark. Some have even
outlasted the pit or mine where they loaded
their rst truck. Its all part of the Hitachi
legacy, and an important part of what has
made us the industry leader. Read on for
reasons why the EX8000-6 deserves to be
in your operation.

Ensured reliability
through strong dealers.
Its a big commitment.
Uptime and productivity are critical to successful mine management.
Your dealer is part of a global network strategically positioned to
keep your eet up and running efciently. Our well-trained technicians
have the tools and technology to deliver expert service when and
where you need it. Your dealer also supports everything they sell with
training, parts management, and component rebuilds. Maintenance
and Repair Contracts (MARCs) help manage maintenance costs.
Hitachi provides worldwide satellite-based
remote monitoring of all service functions,
either separately or in conjunction with a variety
of mine-management systems. Theres also a
robust strategy for parts backup at the factories
and parts depots. And factory-support managers
are assigned to specic mines to provide oversight to help ensure performance, regardless of
the level of support chosen by the mine.

 Hitachi excavators are backed by the best

dealers in the business. More than dealers,
they are your partners in success.

Dealers stock critical wear parts, maintenance items, and components. Anything not
in stock is readily accessible through an
extensive parts network.

Bulletproof
engineering.

Building the best machines

for designated results.
Before every component goes into production it is tested,
tweaked, and tested again. Then, its put into the eld for
at least one year as a preproduction model to be evaluated
by Hitachi engineers for functionality and reliability. Only when
its been validated by thousands of hours of rugged use does
it go into production.
After a components design has been deemed Hitachi-ready,
its manufactured with state-of-the-industry tools, jigs, and
management processes. Finally, every unit is tested before
nal paint to ensure its ready to go to work in your mine.

Fill a 320-ton truck

in just 4 to 5 passes.
Why do customers choose Hitachi?

Greater availability
Lower operating cost
Better fuel economy
Lower maintenance requirements

Mine managers all over the world trust Hitachi shovels.

With more than 600 units of over 150 tons in the eld, the
EX8000-6 has to live up to its well-earned reputation.
The EX-6 Series features cutting-edge technologies like
our sophisticated monitoring system with the 267-mm
(10.5-inch) in-cab display. The monitor can also be used
by technicians to quickly troubleshoot alarms and fault
codes. Its screens provide critical information and machine
schematics, allowing the technician to easily diagnose and
repair the machine in order to get it back to work quickly
and reduce downtime. The monitor allows for easy tracking
of preventive-maintenance items as well.
Hitachis unique hydraulic system tops the industry for
smooth, combined bucket-tilt, boom-raise, and machineswing action. The result is a consistent loading effort,
pass after pass, day after day.

Ergonomic
excellence.
Comfort built right in.

Electric joysticks provide

responsive ngertip control.

Consistent productivity cant happen without a focused, unstressed operator. The EX8000-6 has the ergonomic features
to help operators of all skill levels give their best for an entire
10- to 12-hour shift.
It starts with electric joystick controls for bucket/boom/swing
that require half the effort of conventional controls. The roomy,
well-insulated, temperature-controlled cab with 4,729kcal/
hour heating and 4,558-kcal/hour cooling provide a comfortable dust-free environment
Perhaps the most important creature comfort is the air-suspension cushion. Operators love how it automatically adjusts
to their weight. The entire console easily adjusts to help each
operator nd his personal comfort zone.

267 mm (10.5-in.) color LCD

monitor displays operating and
sensor-fault information.

With remote cameras, blind

spots are virtually eliminated.

Hydraulic folding steps provide easy access to the cab.

The ergonomic cab minimizes stretching and reaching.

The cab rests on uid-lled elastic mounts for reduced

vibration and a more comfortable ride.
Visibility to the left, right, and front is excellent. The operator
can see into the bed of the largest truck. The EX8000-6
cab provides an additional space behind the operator for
amenities (locally installed).

A record of
high availability.
All around the world.
Hitachi mining shovels have been
doing the heavy lifting in mines
around the world since 1979. A eet
of ve EX5500 Shovels have put in
thousands of hours each at the
Yanacocha Mine with 96-percent
availability. The PT Kaltim Prima Coal
Mine has recognized multiple milestones beyond 100,000 hours of
continuous operation with their eet
of EX3500-class mining shovels.
Expect the same level of availability
from the EX8000-6. Its cut from the
same cloth only bigger.

RIGID BOX FRAME:

Resists bending and twisting forces

thanks to computer-aided analysis.

HIGH-PRESSURE FILTER: Oil is ltered at high pressure downline from the pumps to minimize
system contamination.

Reliability starts with

ease of service.
Daily service designed for speed.
The EX8000 Series is designed to be easily maintained. They
are carefully engineered for full 24-hour operation and require
only brief downtime for fueling, greasing, and inspection.
Ejectors automatically expel dust from the air cleaners.
A contamination sensor alerts the operator if hydraulic oil
is contaminated.
An ergonomically friendly folding stairway leads directly to
the engine and component level. A wide walkway, spacious
counterweight top, and central passage make inspection
and service fast and safe.
Easy-to-reach air-cleaner elements are quick to change.
A centralized system makes oil-lter inspection and changeout quick and easy.
Auto-lubrication of front joint pins and the swing circle
eliminates daily manual lubrication.
Fast-ll system for hydraulic oil, diesel, and other fuels brings
uid checks and refueling down to ground level.

WIDE-ACCESS SERVICE DOORS:

For easy access to all components
and machine-servicing areas.

CONTAMINATION SENSOR:
Provides quick troubleshooting
of contamination issues within the
hydraulic system and monitors
pumps and motors.

CENTRALIZED FILTER SYSTEM:

Allows for easy access to lters
during maintenance intervals
for fast and easy replacement.
