Japan has manufactured the world's largest excavator, vowing to capture market share in mining operations.
On October 20, Hitachi Construction Machinery announced that it will release the backhoe specification model of the ultra-large hydraulic excavator EX5600-7P (operating weight 558 tons), which increases production by 12% compared to the current model, enhances the durability of the boom, arm, and upper frame of the body, mainly in Australia.
Since the launch of the UH50 ultra-large excavator (operating weight 159 tons) in 1979, the company has been operating at mine sites around the world and has won a good reputation for its work capacity, reliability, and durability. In particular, the company has a large number of delivery records in Australia. To increase its competitive advantage in the Australian market, the company has decided to launch a new product with enhanced productivity and durability compared to the current model.
The ultra-large excavator EX5600-7P increases the bucket capacity, increases the power of the engine and hydraulic pump, and improves the running speed of the body by 12%, increasing productivity by 12%. In addition, the boom expands the application range of high-strength cast steel products, and the structure and welding method of the body arm and upper frame are improved to enhance durability.
The main features include an increase in the bucket capacity from 34 cubic meters to 37.5 cubic meters for the current model, an increase in the power of the engine and hydraulic pump, and an increase in the running speed of the body. Compared to the current model, productivity has increased by 12%. In addition, compared to the current model, fuel efficiency (production per liter of diesel) has increased by approximately 10%.
Boom
The application range of cast steel parts has been expanded, and the structure and welding method of the body's arm and upper frame have been improved to increase durability. This reduces the frequency of major overhauls. In addition, the boom has a maintenance hole (patent pending), which can be opened and closed with bolts, making it easier to inspect the inside of the boom.
EX5600-7P is compatible with LANDCROS Connect Insight, which provides consulting services to obtain and analyze operational data almost in real time, and maximizes the performance of mining equipment. This solution enables customers to improve the efficiency of mine operations.
