Hitachi Mining Excavator & Shovel EX1200-6

Engine

• Get more uptime from the efficient Cummins EPA Tier 2 diesel engine that’s one of the most fuel-efficient engines of all, plus is very eco-friendly.

Durable structure and undercarriage

• Two grease-filled floating pins, at the boom top and at linkage, increase the sealing ability, extend pin life and reduce repair costs. Wear plates are provided on both sides of a boss at the arm top.

• The travel devices are compact-designed to reduce damage for higher mobility, reducing downtime.

• The center track frame of integral cast steel structure can avoid stress concentration and increase reliability.

• Track links are enlarged to increase strength for higher durability and reliability especially on rugged ground.

• You get rock-solid durability from a rigid box frame that resists bending and twisting forces, and provides great strength and balance to handle heavy digging and loading jobs.

• The EX1200-6 provides you with an upgraded, more brawny undercarriage. The larger diameter swing bearing provides increased reliability and durability, plus improved stability.

• Both standard and BE booms have thicker plate steel. The buckets are stronger and larger, and the refined mechanisms produce increased lift capacity and durability.

• You can get optional full-length track guards that protect the tracks against rocks and other objects. In addition, wider track shoes and a longer undercarriage frame are available to improve flotation in soft conditions.

Hydraulics

• You get flexible boom/swing modes. The boom- or swing-priority mode can be selected for higher production.

• When swing angle is small in a cycle of digging, swinging and dumping, boom raise speed increases to reduce a cycle time. When swing angle is large in a cycle of digging, swinging and dumping, swing speed increases to reduce a cycle time.

• The boom recirculation system efficiently recirculates oil in the boom circuit when the boom lowers, delivering more pressurized oil to the arm to increase arm-lowering speed

• The oil cooler is separated from the radiator to effectively cool down hydraulic oil. This helps extend the service life of hydraulics.

Simple controls

• The color LCD monitor displays operating and machine-event information, which adds to productivity and helps lower downtime with better, on-time maintenance.

• The short-throw pilot control levers provide extremely precise and smooth boom and bucket control, requiring less effort and movement.

Comfortable cab

• The multi-function, multi-language LCD monitor is easy to read and provides key data about the excavator. The Global e- Service mining system uses a data logging unit to record daily operating conditions and warnings. The monitor can be preset to indicate replacement intervals for engine oil, hydraulic oil and filters.

• The standard remote rearview monitoring camera gives the operator wider vision of the work area and eliminates almost all blind spots.

• The heated, multi-position, air-suspension seat travels 266 mm (10.5 inches), together or independently of the control console, allowing operators to customize their working environment.

• The sturdy cab protects operators from falling objects. The cab’s top guard conforms to OPG Level II (ISO) specifications. The entire cab sits on a package of fluid-filled elastic mounts that reduce vibrations and deliver a more comfortable ride.

• An optional slide ladder gives the operator even easier access to the cab and working platform.

Easy to maintain

• The radiator and oil cooler are arranged side by side to increase cooling efficiency. This also reduces cleaning time and effort.

• The auto dust ejector automatically ejects airborne dust and particles to keep filter elements clean and extend their replacement intervals.

• An air conditioner filter is located next to the cab door behind the operator seat for easy cleaning and replacing.

• An electric grease gun (pail can type) is provided standard with a hose reel for convenient lubrication of the swing circle and bucket pin.

• The auto lubrication system is provided standard at the front attachment to simplify daily maintenance, except for the bucket pin and swing circle.

• Delivery filters, newly added to the delivery side of hydraulic pumps, effectively protect hydraulic lines from accidents.

Remote Machine Management

• With Global e-Service, an online machine management system, you can access each on-site machine from a PC in your office. You can get its operating information and location to increase productivity. Operating data and log are sent to a Hitachi server for processing, and then to customer and dealers. This system is available 24/7/365.
