Experience the Scale of Mining at QME 2026! 

While we couldn't bring the mighty Hitachi EX8000-7BH mining excavator to Mackay, we're bringing something almost as impressive; its enormous 48m³ bucket!

The EX8000-7BH is the largest hydraulic mining excavator in the Hitachi fleet, engineered to deliver exceptional productivity, reliability and efficiency in large scale mining operations. Featuring powerful digging performance, advanced hydraulic systems, and a spacious operator environment designed for comfort and safety, the EX8000-7BH is built to move more material with every pass.

Visit the Hitachi stand at QME and stand beside the massive 48m³ bucket for a unique photo opportunity. It's the perfect way to appreciate the incredible scale of the machine that helps power mining operations across Australia.

📍 Visit Hitachi at QME 2026 | Stand OS338 | 21–23 July | Mackay Showgrounds
❄️ Saving the Aussie ski season. One bucket at a time.

Our machines don't stop when winter arrives.

Peter, from Peter Vagne Excavation is putting his Hitachi ZX225USLC-7 to work in the Perisher Valley, loading freshly made snow to keep the slopes topped up for skiers throughout the day.

A unique job for a machine that's built to perform in every season.

Thanks for the photo, Pete!

Australia's highest-hour EX5600-7 has reached another significant milestone as it chases goals established by our legendary forebearer -6 models that achieved over 100,000 hrs, many of which are still operating around the world.

After more than 38,000 operating hours, the machine has undergone its first swing bearing replacement. The major component change completed safely and successfully by two dedicated crews.

The project was delivered with zero safety incidents, reflecting the planning, expertise and commitment of everyone involved throughout the change-out.

This milestone also marks 10 years since HCA’s designed and developed Elevation System first entered operation, highlighting the long-term durability and performance that continue to support mining operations across Australia.

38,000 hours.

A testament to the people, planning and equipment behind one of Australia's hardest-working EX5600-7 excavators.
