BY NOT BUILDING EVERYTHING,

WE COMPROMISE ON NOTHING.
HAULER FOCUSED.

At Hitachi, we don’t get sidetracked building every

kind of mining equipment. Instead, we build trucks and
excavators. And that focus results in highly efficient,
durable and reliable trucks with powerful performance.
The EH4000AC-3 combines our time-proven truck technology with our
newest and most efficient Advanced IGBT AC-Drive system. It’s one of the
most technologically advanced mining trucks in the world, and it helps
raise profits by lowering fuel and maintenance costs. When you put the
EH4000AC-3 to work, you get …

 THE MOST ADVANCED
AC-DRIVE SYSTEM EVER.
EFFICIENT AND PRODUCTIVE.

The EH4000AC-3 runs with Hitachi’s newest, state-of-the-art Advanced AC-

Drive System using Hitachi’s own IGBT controller, alternator and wheel motors.
Hitachi has been in the electrical drive system business for years – first with
GTO, now with IGBT. In fact, the technology has successfully been used on
bullet trains, locomotives, monorails and commuter electric cars around the
world. The result is an AC-powered truck that outperforms other systems
through its simplicity, efficiency and dependability.

Hitachi is the only truck manufacturer in the world that builds its own AC-
drive systems. So the new Advanced AC-Drive System is perfectly matched
to the EH4000AC-3. It delivers higher torque, faster acceleration, smoother
retardation and lower operating costs. With the Hitachi Advanced AC-Drive
System, you get …

TACKLE TOUGH JOBS.

Hitachi trucks have earned a reputation for durable and dependable

performance at mining operations across the world. The EH4000AC-3
is no exception. Its rugged, redesigned frame can handle your toughest
jobs. This hauler is also built with a unique trailing-arm suspension that
minimizes frame stress and fatigue, while providing lower tire wear and
better steering. This durable system is easy to service and maintain. You
get access to the strut without removal of the wheel, which reduces your
downtime and repair costs. When you choose the EH4000AC-3, you get

Brake System
Brake system complies with ISO 3450 (SAE J1473).
Service Brake
Service braking for the EH4000AC-3 is made up of front and rear hydraulically applied brakes and the electric brake.
Front Axle – Dry Disc
Disc Diameter Each (2 discs/axle, 4 calipers/disc) 121.6 cm (4 ft.)
Rear Axle – Oil-cooled Wet Disc
Total Friction Area per Brake 75 760 cm2 (81 sq. ft.)
Secondary
Two of front hydraulic, rear hydraulic and electric brake within the service brake system provide modulated reserve braking capability. Both front and rear hydraulic brakes are
automatically applied when loss of pressure is detected.
Parking Brake
This system is designed to use spring applied, hydraulically released brake calipers to hold the truck stationary.
Electric Brake
The Electric Brake is used for usual operating brake for the EH4000AC-3. The Hitachi AC-Drive system provides all necessary truck speed control, including speed reduction to 0 km/h
travel speed when the electric brake pedal is depressed. Also, the rear service brakes automatically apply at speeds below 0.5 km/h if this pedal is depressed.
Maximum dynamic braking (Standard) 3200 kW (4,291 hp)
Load/Dump Brake Apply
Through activation of a switch by the operator, a solenoid is energized, sending full brake pressure to apply the rear Wet Disc brakes. For use during the load and dump cycles.

Hi-Tech ROPS/FOPS Cab

ROPS complies with ISO3471 and SAE J1040-May 94, FOPS complies with ISO3449. A three-point rubber ISO-mount arrangement to the high-arch cross member minimizes vibration
transfer to the operator compartment. New wider cab with double, full-size seat available and enough trainer’s leg space brings comfortable operating and training.
Monitoring System A new Hitachi system monitor provides display information and diagnostics of all onboard systems and controls which include the
engine and Hitachi AC drive. Data links offer complete integration, while a color Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) clearly details machine
functions. Downtime is minimized with faster and more reliable troubleshooting and analysis. A new Hitachi load monitoring system
offers benefits such as better equipment utilization on the jobsite, accurate unit and fleet production results, and benchmark unit
statistics against fleet results. Cycle time, distance and cycle count can all be measured and recorded as information that can help in
developing higher productivity. The Hitachi load monitoring system is fully integrated with the Hitachi vehicle monitoring system and
display interface, avoiding potential failure or error common in aftermarket systems.

Suspension
Front Suspension Independent trailing arms make up the front axle. NEOCON struts containing energy-absorbing gas and compressible NEOCON-ETM fluid are
mounted between the trailing arms and frame. Inherent in the NEOCON strut design is a variable damping and rebound feature.
Rear Suspension “A” frame structure, integral with axle housing, links the drive axle to the frame at forward center point with pin and spherical bushing. A track
rod provides lateral stability between the frame and drive axle. Heavy-duty rear-mounted NEOCON struts containing energy-absorbing gas and

Iron Ore Body

Frame
Full fabricated box section main rails with section height tapered from rear to front. Narrow at the rear to support the load and wider at the front allowing truck stability and excellent engine
access for servicing. One-piece top and bottom flanges that eliminate cross member tie-in joints and provide a large exposed center area for access to major components. Large radii at
frame junctions are blended and ground to minimize stress concentrations. Weld joints are oriented longitudinally to the principal flow of stress for greater durability and more strength.
The new “bolt-on” High Arch Design requires less assembling time and no welding. The design provides higher structural quality and better serviceability during engine overhaul.

Hitachi Loading Policy

Operational Benefits
Haulroad Safety More than Max. 10%
90% of Loads of Loads No Loads
Truck loading within the limitations of the Hitachi Loading Policy will result in designed and
certified operational performance of the steering, brake and ROPS systems of the truck.*
Efficient Productivity

PERCENT OF NOMINAL PAYLOAD

Truck loading within the limitations of the Hitachi Loading Policy will result in optimizing the
fuel economy and travel speed performance to which the truck was designed to.*
Availability and Maintenance
Lower maintenance costs and higher availability can be achieved if truck loading is within the
limitations of the Hitachi Loading Policy.*
*Hitachi recommended maintenance is required.

100% 110% 120%

1: More than 90% of all loads must fall below 110% area (Orange area).
2: If necessary due to excessive variation in material density, loader bucket fill-factors or bucket
sizes, loading the truck to between 110% and 120% of Nominal Payload is allowed if it accounts
for less than 10% of all loads (Yellow area).
3: Loading above 120% of Nominal Payload is not allowed. (Red Area)

Perimeter Visibility (Standard)

The addition of mirrors and cameras to the base model make the truck compliant to the perimeter viewing requirement of standards ISO 5006 and ISO 14401.

SPECS
SkyAngle (Peripheral vision support system)
The SkyAngle feature is available to significantly increase peripheral vision around the dump truck by providing synthesized multiple images captured by cameras specifically
positioned at four locations around the truck. The feature displays camera views on a single monitor to allow operators an auxiliary means of checking for ground level obstacles.
