Since the introduction of Hitachi's first mining excavators in the 1970s, we have built an excellent reputation for high productivity, low maintenance costs, and high reliability. In fact, two out of five hydraulic mining shovels at work in the world today are Hitachi. Whether it is gold, taconite, or other exotic metals; or coal, lignite, oil sands, or overburden removal – Hitachi can handle the job. And as owner of the legendary Euclid rigid-frame haul-truck line, Hitachi has ensured its Hitachi trucks are perfectly matched to its excavators in quality, performance, and customer satisfaction. Hitachi is committed to building long-term, mutually beneficial customer relationships through responsive, flexible product support.
