The Hitachi EX2600 is a massive mining-class excavator built for the serious business of moving big volumes in open-cut mines. It’s a real heavy-hitter in the 250-260 tonne class, and you’ll often see it paired with the big 150-190 tonne dump trucks to get the job done as fast as possible.
The engine’s got plenty of grunt, thanks to high-output diesel power, and it’s all backed up by Hitachi’s top-notch hydraulic system. This means the EX2600 can give you a strong breakout force, fill that bucket up nice and full, and then ease on over to the next spot with a smooth ride.
It’s built like a tank too – the boom, arm, swing system and undercarriage are all reinforced to handle the rough stuff day in and day out. We’re talking coal, iron ore, and hard rock here. And with all this extra muscle on board the operator’s got a pretty sweet deal in the cab – tons of visibility, comfy controls, and all the monitoring tools they need to stay on top of things.
With reliability, raw power, and a bottom line that’s always looking good, the Hitachi EX2600 Extra-Large Excavator is one proven workhorse for any mine that wants to keep chugging along all day, every day.
