Hitachi Construction Machinery releases upgraded mining excavator

Hitachi Construction Machinery has announces the global release of the EX5600-7P ultra-large hydraulic excavator (operating weight of 558t) backhoe specification model, which, compared to the current EX5600-7 model, increases production capacity by 12% and improves the durability of the boom, arm, and upper body frame, with a focus on Australia.

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 evaluations for their work capacity, reliability, and durability. In particular, the company has delivered many units to Australia. To increase its competitive advantage in the Australian market, Hitachi Construction Machinery decided to release a new product with enhanced production capacity and durability compared to the current model.

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%. 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. 

Hitachi Construction Machinery develops and produces all of its mining products in-house to provide digital solutions based on its accumulated technologies as well as high-quality and reliable hardware. Going forward, Hitachi Construction Machinery will aim to become a close and reliable partner that helps solve customer issues of "improving safety and productivity," "reducing life cycle costs," and "reducing the environmental impact."

Increased production capacity by 12%
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% compared to the current model. In addition, the fuel efficiency (production capacity per liter of diesel fuel) was increased by roughly 10% 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 and upper body frame incorporate 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 the performance of customer equipment. This solution enables customers to improve the efficiency of their mining operations.
