Hitachi EX8000 Excavator in Australia ( Hitachi EX8000-6 ) 

What are the two things hanging off the cylinders? Some kind of indicator but I'm not sure what.

Just look at that cabin!! That's an office on its own! LOL, many people life smaller then that! Great place to chill out after work, put TV, mini bar and some snacks inn there! Hell, i would rent that! Or buy that, just for that cab! lol

that is truly an amazing machine, in the video the scale of it is HUGE, I can't imagine what it must be like to stand next to it, or better yet be at the controls

From the perspective of a haul truck operator, my perspective, this is the easiest shovel to get a load from. Backing under it is simple. As big as it is, when you're around it everyday you realize that it's rather small compared to the others

I was at Mt Keith as a fitter with BHP when the 2 EX8000's got parked up. I always wondered where they ended up. There was alot of equipment sent to the graveyard as a result of the GFC in 2008/09, more than alot of mine sites actually have working and unfortunately this machine and its newer brother EX1435 were included. I got alot of experience when I was at Mt Keith, But I'll never miss the food!!

I love HITACHI excavators! They are the best on the market in my oppinion! That big bucket almost looks like prehistoric!

The EX8000 in backhoe double benching and loading the EH5000-3 is extremely productive. Talk to the guys at Stanwell and see if you can get some footage. Hopefully with a "full uninterupped truck loading cycle". For educational purposes only :)

Very impressive.. Thanks, Gordon

l dont understand why did this video got 2 "dislikes".... Perhaps the dudes didnt understand english... This video is awesome! And its content is what the title says...

@eh3500acII Actually, they're for positioning of the truck, not bucket. They show the truck drivers where to spot themselves under the bucket.

good video with great sound most dont have this level of sound

@komatsuguru They're simple visual aids for best bucket positioning and loading the truck with a minimum of spillage.

Impressive machine. Well presented, thanks.

@DreamsMemories Hi, as far as I know two Cummins 16-cylinder engines, 1940 HP each.
