Ergonomically designed cab

You’ll love the cab for the EX3600-6.The ergonomic layout means you’ll do less stretching and reaching. The roomier seat and cab will make you feel comfortable and well supported, with plenty of leg room. And the high height and forward-sloping cab provides a view that boosts productivity. The cab is pressurized to keep out dust while maintaining a comfortable temperature.

Folding stairs with wide steps

The machine’s folding stairs will make access to the machine easier when it comes to servicing, operating and maintenance.

Simplified maintenance

A walkway around the multipurpose counterweight will give you easy access to key rear areas, making inspections and maintenance much easier.

Reliable engine

The machine’s rugged and reliable Cummins engine generates 1,944 hp to tackle even the toughest mine sites. And Hitachi’s patented Auto-Level Mechanism delivers one-lever leveling control and excellent crowding force.

Solid construction

Computer-assisted analysis is used to ensure the frame box can withstand heavy-duty excavation work. The machine’s track frame, which is used exclusively on large Hitachi models, is cast as a solid unit and includes a flange for improved reliability. Our shoes include roller guides for extended service life.
