9 DECEMBER 2024 WorldWide Drilling Resource® Rigid Dump Truck Gets Upgrade During MINExpo 2024 in Las Vegas, Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. introduced the EH4000AC-5, a full model change of its EH4000AC-3 rigid dump truck. By applying metal fabrication technologies accumulated through the manufacturing of hydraulic excavators, the company increased the dump truck’s durability and achieved a payload of 242 tons. The EH4000AC-5 includes an evolved Hitachi AC drive system cultivated from current models with strengthened brakes, suspension, and other aspects of the undercarriage to achieve smooth, stable driving and superior deceleration performance - even under the new higher payload. In addition, EH4000AC-5 provides a comfortable operator space and operating environment, which enables the achievement of an optimum desired level of maneuvering performance. Furthermore, the change to a fully electric specification, equipped with batteries and trolley dynamic charging systems that receive power from overhead lines installed at mines, is also compatible with the EH4000AC-5 similar to the EH4000AC-3 series models. After completing field tests at mining sites, the company aims to start sales of the new rigid dump truck in 2025. For a link, click on this box in our online issue. No online issue?
