Their endurance is further proven by the ultra-large excavators, which have working-time records of over 90,000 hours.

In mining, cost efficiency is also important. Hitachi's excavators provide one of the lowest cost-per-ton options for moving materials in their class. Low maintenance cost and long life make for machines that give you significant savings.  

Loading Shovels

Hitachi's loading shovels offer power and ease of use to let you handle the biggest loads on any mining & construction site. Their reliable machines give you maximum capability with low maintenance for the best possible productivity.

Hitachi is a world leader in the loading shovel market. Our eight models offer you tough machines of varying size that are suited to your needs. When you're using shovels, productivity means loading and dumping with as few cycles as possible. The large-sized buckets and speed of these easy-to-use machines gives you just that, making them some of the most efficient machines around.

A special feature of the Hitachi loading shovel is the auto-leveling crowd mechanism. This system allows the operator to undertake leveling operations with one easy lever operation, and it also increases the level crowding force by utilizing level cylinders.
