Ease of Operation
Superior Suspension
The Hitachi ACCU-TRAC suspension
system delivers excellent maneuverability,
even at higher speeds. The trailing arm
layout offers greater ease of servicing
while improving truck performance
compared to suspended king-pin
designs. The pivot mounting of the trailing
arm design allows only axial input to the
strut and allows wheel movement to the
vertical plane only.
Features:
• Lateral forces that act on the front
wheels are minimized, resulting in
reduced tire scuffing.
• Dynamic friction (side-wall force) within
the strut is low due to the features of
the ACCU-TRAC design, allowing the
use of a lighter strut engineered to a
smaller diameter and longer stroke.
• The necessary frame bulk (horse-
collar structure) needed to mount a
suspended king-pin is non-existent.
• The elimination of the “horse-collar”
member provides greater engine
access.
• The NEOCON strut used with the
ACCU-TRAC suspension, improves
operator and component isolation,
provides better hauler stability and
predictable operational control.
• Locating the king-pin close to the wheel
assembly and at a slight angle results in
low “Dry Park Steering” effort.
• Development of the compressible
media, NEOCON- E
TM
fluid (proprietary,
silicone based, environmentally
friendly) for use in the suspension
strut with helium gas, results in an
improved energy absorption (isolation)
system and an improved energy
release (stability) system that responds
favorably whether traveling empty or
with payload in a wide range of ambient
temperatures.
Auto-Lubrication System
A pump fed system automatically
applies grease to lube points via
plumbing. The lubricant is automatically
delivered in time controlled and
metered quantities to all connected
lube points in the system.

Spindle
Each controlled by a hydraulic steering cylinder,
rotates around the king-pin and the outer end of the
trailing arm to position the wheels for steering. The
spindles are attached by one simple tie-rod.
King-Pin
Retains the spindle to the trailing arm. Spindle
rotates around the king-pin, which is locked in posi-
tion. The Neocon-E strut attaches to the top. A bolt
on clevis allows ease of servicing.
Trailing Arm
Main suspension member to which other suspension
components are attached. The trailing arms hinge
on a cross shaft that is clamped to the front of the
frame.
Neocon Strut
The energy absorption and release component of
the ACCU-TRAC suspension system. Pinned to ball
bushings at the frame and at the top of the king-pin
to prevent bending movements from transferring to
the strut. Receives only axial input.

New HI-TECH ROPS/FOPS CAB
This is the latest mining truck cab developed
by Hitachi. A new Hitachi LCD has been
engineered onto the dashboard of the
EH5000ACII to eliminate separate lights and
gauges. The LCD is positioned slightly to the
right of center, allowing for a lower dashboard.
This concept prevents the steering wheel
from obstructing the operators' view of the
LCD and results in better operator visibility
of the ground area immediately ahead of the
truck.
An analog display has been mounted to the
overhead console to display the view of up
to 4 cameras simultaneously. Three cameras
mounted to the rear, right side and front of the
truck are available as standard for improving
visibility.
The ACCU-TRAC suspension design
allows the front struts to be removed
and installed without removing the
trailing arms, brakes or tires. This
relates to fewer tools and less labor
required to perform this service, which
aims to reduce the amount of hauler
downtime,
increasing
productivity.
