EX8000-6 Hitachi excavator specs & Dimensions (2017 - 2026)

Supersize production.

Tough job? Bring it on. No job is too big for the EX8000-6, our largest excavator. Fuel-efficient, twin Cummins QSK60C engines provide powerful performance with an Engine-Pump Control (E-P Control) system that efficiently adjusts power to your load demand. The advanced hydraulic system tops the industry for smooth, combined bucket-tilt, boom-raise and fast pass speeds, which delivers quicker loading times. Additionally, you get a stronger boom and bigger bucket for increased lift capacity. The EX8000-6 pairs well with the EH4000AC-3 and EH5000AC-3 Trucks, and is available in backhoe and front-shovel configurations. Add the EX8000-6 to your fleet, and you get...

Efficient E-P Control.

The computer-aided Engine-Pump Control (E-P Control) system senses load demand and adjusts power to the work being performed.

Flow-Assisting Circuit

Using the meter-in valves, ample-capacity make-up valves and flow-assisting pumps, the flow speed is increased in cylinders for dynamic actions, like between dumping and digging.

Swing Device

High-torque, axial-piston motors with 2-stage planetary gear bathed in oil. Swing circle with dirt seals is a heavy-duty, triple-row, cylindrical roller bearing. Induction-hardened internal swing circle gear and pinion immersed in lubricant. Parking brake of springset/hydraulic-released disc type. This parking brake is manually releasable.

Travel Device

Travel device driven by high-torque, axial piston motors, allowing counter rotation of tracks. 2-stage planetary gear plus spur gears reduction device. Dual-support-type traction device. Parking brake of springset/hydraulic-released disc type. This parking brake can be manually releasable.

Rock-solid reliability.

Tough jobs demand extremely durable excavators. And the EX8000-6 is designed and built with strength you can count on. Toughness is built-in with the rigid box design; cast steel, center track frame; rugged lower rollers; track links and drive tumblers. Constant correct track tension reduces damage and downtime. Flow-retarding control for arm/bucket roll-in and roll-out at cylinder stroke ends improves controllability and helps extend service life. Strategically positioned oil coolers and high-pressure filters simplifies maintenance to give you more uptime. Add it all up, and the EX8000-6 is...

Track Tension and Maintenance

With constant correct track tension, travel is automatically stopped if the nitrogen gas accumulator pressure exceeds a preset level. Alert information and countermeasures are indicated on the multi-display LCD monitor. Flow-retarding control at cylinder stroke ends improves controllability and helps extend service life. This mechanism is provided for arm/bucket roll-in and roll-out. Three oil coolers are strategically positioned far from the engine radiator for even better cooling potential. High-pressure filters are located down-line from the pumps for easy maintenance.

Undercarriage

Shovel-type undercarriage. Dual-flanged-type bolt linkage for side frame and X-form center frame ensures durability. Heavy-duty track frame of all-welded, stress-relieved structure. Top-grade materials used for toughness. Lifetime-lubricated induction-hardened track rollers, idlers and drive tumblers with floating seals. Specially heat-treated track shoes. Hydraulic track adjuster provided with N2 gas accumulator with relief valve. Track adjuster provided with protection device against abnormal tension. Travel motion alarm device.

Safe and efficient cabs.

As excavator experts, we’ve designed the EX8000-6 cab to keep operators as comfortable, efficient and productive as possible. The well-insulated, pressurized cab keeps dust out while maintaining a comfortable temperature thanks to a highly efficient heating/air conditioning system. Operators of all sizes have plenty of legroom and storage space with the cab’s ergonomic design, which helps operators stay productive even on long work shifts. With the EX8000-6, you get...
