Hitachi ZX800 in mining

Many different machines are deployed in the mining sector. Mining areas are often difficult to access because they are at remote locations in dusty and rough environments. Machines that are often deployed in these types of areas are bulldozers, wheel loaders and (hydraulic) excavators. All types of machines, however, are used when extracting material. Often, mine excavators are first deployed that dig out the earth. Next, machines such as draglines, power loaders and bucket-wheel excavators do their work. These machines can often excavate hundreds of cubic metres of material an hour and this ensures the mining activities can be completed quickly.

The best excavators for mining such as hydraulic mining excavators use a bucket to excavate the material and pull back to the machine. They also have a standalone cab for the operator. This is linked through a large rotary union on the track frame so that it can turn 360 degrees. The Hitachi ZX800 can be found at construction sites, demolition sites and quarries.
