Weighing over 830 tonnes with a 43-48m3 bucket capacity, which can move 75 tonnes of dirt per bucket load, the flagship excavator comes with an option of a Cummins QSKTA60 or  MTU 12V4000 C33 diesel charged engine, generating 2x 1,450 kW (2x 1,944 HP) at 1,800 rpm. With a front attachment design that prioritizes performance, the EX8000-7 achieves superior productivity and reliable digging power across different mining profiles.

"Hitachi’s largest standard backhoe excavator..."

Hitachi EX800-7

The EX8000-7 excavator is engineered to tackle the most demanding jobs, whilst maintaining superior operator comfort. Taking the operator experience to new heights, featuring electronic joysticks, an intelligent multi-functional display, advanced air suspension seating and improved climate control.



“Delivering exceptional insights & empowering operations…”

Hitachi has a long standing commitment to the advancement of mining through digital innovation and connectivity. The EX8000-7 sees the most significant update being the extensive on-board sensors, diagnostic tools and advanced software delivering exceptional insights and empowering operations, to achieve any excavating task with proficiency and ease.

Another key improvement is the addition of the new electronic cylinder stroke controls that enable the signalling from angel sensors to the main frame, boom and arm. This controls the pump flow rate and cylinder speed, improving operator comfort and lowering impact on cylinders and structure for a more reliable operation.

Introducing the All-New EX8000-7

Designed with safety at the forefront, the EX8000-7 is one of the safest machines on the market featuring;

– An on-board inclinometer
– Improved machine access & ease of maintenance
– A dual isolator switch as standard
– Emergency escape chute
– Engine stop switching
– Optional perimeter monitoring cameras

Cutting edge technology and robust design come together to make EX8000-7 excavators the most durable. Featuring advanced computer modelling, specialised forgings and specially designed track shoes, are just some of the features to maximise longevity and contribute to lower operating costs.

Supporting Paediatric Healthcare in the Hunter Region

We’re thrilled to share that, through our partnership with the Humpty Dumpty Foundation, Hitachi recently made a donation to Muswellbrook Hospital’s Maternity Unit. A few of our team members, including Aaron, Seamus and Tynan, visited the hospital for the handover of a Jaundice Detector and learned about the important impact this piece of equipment will have on the local community.

The Maternity Unit team, guided by Lisa Buckley, explained how vital this new jaundice detector is. While births in the area are now planned at larger hospitals in Maitland and Newcastle, local mothers often have babies born slightly early to avoid travel risks. These babies have a higher chance of developing jaundice, so having a detector on-site ensures quick and effective monitoring right at Muswellbrook.

Lisa expressed deep gratitude for the donation, as equipment funding is a challenge, and the Humpty Dumpty Foundation is a crucial lifeline for these resources. This new equipment will be instrumental not only in the hospital but also for providing care in the community for families who can’t make regular hospital visits.

Together, we’re making a difference in the health and well-being of families in the Upper Hunter Valley.
Hitachi Construction Machinery is proud to lead the way in sustainable mining technology, with the world's first engineless, full-battery rigid frame dump truck currently undergoing real-world testing at a mine site in Zambia. This milestone project significantly reduces emissions and delivers cleaner energy solutions for large-scale mining operations. 🌏🔋

Stay tuned as we continue to push the boundaries of mining machinery!
🎃🚜 The Pumpkin king is onsite and digging deep this Halloween! No tricks, just powerful treats with Hitachi. Happy Halloween! 👻🧡
🚧 Meet the S Series H21 Hitachi ZX170W! 🚧

One of the safest rail machines on the market, it’s built to withstand the most severe working conditions while being reliable, versatile, and efficient. The S Series Rail Guidance System features retractable rail wheel assemblies installed on the excavator, positioning the vehicle on the rail while allowing the tyres to maintain traction and braking. The blade is equipped with a mechanical twist mechanism to meet Australian Standards.

Choose safety and efficiency for your next project! 🔧✨
🎂🍰 How awesome is this cake?! 🍰🎂

Our friends at Red Mulga went all out to celebrate Jonsey's 30th birthday, one of their valued operators, and we couldn’t resist sharing their creativity! Featuring a miniature EX8000, this cake captures the spirit of Hitachi machines in the sweetest way possible.🧡

Happy 30th, Jonsey! And kudos to Red Mulga for the fantastic tribute to a true Hitachi fan.
