Tata Hitachi Shovel – large Indian excavators from the Tata-Hitachi joint venture: the EX300 LCH to the EX2500-5, 164 to 971 kW from Cummins and Isuzu engines, up to 45 litres displacement

Tata Hitachi is an Indian joint venture between Tata Motors and Hitachi Construction Machinery that builds excavators and shovels for the Indian and Asian markets. The Shovel range spans from the mid-size EX300 LCH through the ZAXIS450H to the mining excavators EX1900-5 and EX2500-5, which work with backhoe or face-shovel attachments in open-cast mining and ore extraction. The smaller models use Isuzu six-cylinders and the Cummins 6CTA8.3, the large mining excavators the Cummins QSK45, a 45-litre twelve-cylinder built for continuous open-cast duty.

The register lists here 4 versions with 164.1 to 971.1 kW from engines of 15,682 to 45,001 cm³ displacement.

While the EX300 LCH works as a versatile excavator in earthworks and civil engineering, the EX1900-5 and EX2500-5 rank among the large mining shovels that fill trucks of 100 tonnes payload and more in a handful of loading passes; Tata Hitachi is market leader for excavators in India and supplies neighbouring South Asian markets from there too.

When buying used, on the smaller models the condition of undercarriage, bucket and hydraulic cylinders and the operating-hours history count, and on the large mining excavators additionally the condition of the boom and arm bearings, the condition of the digging bucket and the service history of the big engine, since repairs in this class cause long downtimes; spare parts run through the Tata Hitachi and Hitachi network.

What to check before buying

  • Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
  • Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
  • Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
  • Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
