Hitachi GET range: engaging
233 Hitachi Construction Machinery (Europe) will be highlighting at INTERMAT 2015 its recently introduced range of ground engaging tools (GET) for customers in Europe, Africa and Russia.

The range has been developed exclusively for Hitachi mining excavators – from the 120-tonne EX1200-6 to the 360-tonne EX3600-6 – to complement each machine’s digging capabilities.

Designed to increase productivity, enhance safety on the job site and reduce maintenance costs, the Genuine Hitachi-branded tools are said to be manufactured and tested to the same high standards as all Hitachi construction equipment, and are already proven in the Australian market.

Specifically engineered for hard rock mining applications, the new Hitachi Genuine GET products are said to improve penetration and enhance the overall digging power of the excavator. The streamlined profile increases bucket filling and dumping rates to increase productivity and efficiency.

The tools are manufactured from a high grade of superior steel that enables them to become self-sharpening and increases hardness throughout the casting thickness.

All products within the new Hitachi Genuine GET range benefit from the innovative side lock system. This hammerless locking system results in greater safety on the job site. It also reduces the time required for change outs/replacements, minimising downtime and maintenance costs. New wear caps and straddle adapters with extra wear protection also require less maintenance.

Wayne Partridge, responsible for mining product support at HCME, said: “Hitachi Genuine GET have been designed and manufactured to a specification that balances weight, operational wear life and the equipment’s power efficiency. These features provide a combination that, over each operation cycle, minimises the power required by the machine as a ratio of the total workload and cost per tonne, improving overall productivity.”
