Equipment Overview

The Hitachi AH300 is an articulated dump truck built for off-road hauling across broken, uneven ground, part of Hitachi’s D-series ADT range between the smaller AH250-D and the larger AH350-D and AH400-D. It carries a 27,300 kg rated payload and a 16.5 m³ heaped body, producing 205 kW of gross power, suited to quarrying, mining support, and civil earthworks.

Power comes from a Mercedes-Benz OM906LA engine, an inline-six turbocharged and intercooled diesel rated at 205 kW (275 hp) gross and 198 kW (266 hp) net, with 1,070 N·m of peak torque. A ZF 6HP592C automatic transmission with hydrodynamic torque converter and lock-up in all gears drives all six wheels through a VGR 13100 transfer box with a pneumatically lockable inter-axle differential. Braking uses full-hydraulic caliper brakes on all wheels, backed by a transmission retarder, automatic exhaust brake, and engine valve brake for controlled descents.
