Hitachi has introduced the EH3500AC-3 T4F rigid dump truck, designed for powerful hauling in challenging conditions.
With a nominal payload capacity of 181 tonnes and a gross operating weight of 322,000kg, the EH3500AC-3 is built to meet the demands of high-production mining operations.
Details of all the specifications for this truck are available to subscribers to PS Plant Specs Online subscribers.
Compatible with Hitachi’s EX2600-7, EX3600-7, and EX5600-7 ultra-large excavators, the maker says this heavy-duty truck is engineered to excel in tough environments.
The EH3500AC-3 is powered by either the standard Cummins QSKTA50-CE engine, delivering 1,491kW, or the optional MTU 12V4000 C21 engine, with 1,510 kW. (Subscribe to PS Plant Specs Online to compare specifications for both.)
Hitachi’s Advanced AC Drive System enables smooth and quick starts, uphill travel, and precise maneuvering.
Designed to maintain control over tough terrain, the truck’s pitch control system reduces bouncing and rebounding over uneven ground, and the side skid control system minimises slippage on loose surfaces by adjusting wheel motor torque during turns.
Enhanced with advanced traction control, the EH3500AC-3 reduces tire slippage during acceleration and prevents tyre lock-up during braking.
This level of control enhances safety and keeps haul cycle times consistent, contributing to higher productivity.
The EH3500AC-3 features a spacious cab designed for operator comfort and safety.
The cab accommodates two full-size seats and includes a multilingual LCD display, which offers real-time information on travel speed, engine RPM, and hauling performance.
This easily accessible data improves operational awareness and simplifies maintenance by alerting potential issues.
The EH3500AC-3 requires only two pedals—one for acceleration and one for braking.
Levers and switches for body operation and direction change are conveniently positioned on the center console within close reach of the operator, making the truck easy to control even on long shifts.
