Optimizing Your Open-Pit Extraction Strategy

In mining, every second of cycle time counts. Hitachi-Landcros mining excavators are built with a single goal: maximizing your output. We analyze your geological conditions and target production to recommend the ideal EX-Series configuration, ensuring a perfect synergy between breakout force and fuel efficiency.

The EX-7 series features electronic cylinder pumps and an optimized hydraulic system (HIOS-VI) that reduces fuel consumption by up to 10% without sacrificing breakout force, directly lowering your operational Opex.

Our ultra-class shovels are built with a rigid box-section design and S690QL high-strength steel, specifically engineered to withstand the abrasive conditions of surface mining. This ensures a service life exceeding 100,000 hours, outperforming competitors in the most demanding open-pit environments.

Safety is paramount. Hitachi-Landcros excavators feature the Aerial Angle™ 360° vision system, pressurized cabs for dust protection, and escape chutes for emergency egress, meeting all international MSHA/ISO safety standards.

We optimize the "Pass-Match" between our shovels and haulers. For example, an EX2600 is perfectly balanced to fill a 100-ton rigid truck in 4 to 5 passes, ensuring maximum fleet synchronization.

Integrated Mining Intelligence for surface mining

Hitachi-Landcros technology transforms data into production because A surface mining operation is a complex ecosystem where every machine must be perfectly synchronized. We provide real-time monitoring and certified support to guarantee the highest availability on the market.
