Equipment Overview
The Hitachi EX2600 is a 257-tonne mining excavator built for reliable production performance in mid-scale mining operations, offering a well-balanced combination of digging power and controllable operation. Available in backhoe or front-shovel configuration, it pairs well with 150 to 180-tonne class dump trucks for efficient loading. Buckets equipped with the Bradken GET system and an optimised lip design extend service life and reduce downtime, and the machine comes standard with Hitachi’s Global e-Service remote machine management system.
Power comes from a Cummins engine producing 1,119 kW (1,500 hp) at 1,800 rpm, with an MTU option also available. Individually controlled hydraulic pumps with electric regulators, hydraulic regeneration and an optimised cooling package support efficient operation in demanding duty cycles. Backhoe bucket capacity ranges up to 19.5 m³, bucket digging force reaches 943 kN, and a Hitachi-patented auto-levelling mechanism helps maintain consistent, efficient production.
