VOLUMAX+
The Jaws Volumax+ has finally arrived. Designed & engineered as a light weight yet long life product, we believe this is the body of the future.

With its smooth design and revolutionary hoisting system, the Volumax+ ticks all the boxes.
Volumax+ Bodies are custom designed to maximize target payload.

The Volumax+ range is available for all models of off-highway rigid frame trucks.
Jaws Volumax+ meets the specifications to conform to any nominated host truck, allowing you to maintain full OEM warranty, whilst improving productivity.

Jaws Volumax+ use a true field capacity, rather than the industry accepted SAE 2:1 calculation to offer a truck body that achieves target payload.

Jaws Volumax+ use a freeboard factor of 10%, so that payload can be achieved with sufficient freeboard to reduce spillage issues on haul roads, which saves on tire damage and haul road maintenance.

We take into consideration:

• True loose densities of the lightest to heaviest materials
• Capability / limitations of the loading machine
• Impact involved in loading
• Material Abrasion

Jaws offer Volumax Bodies for the below applications:

• Overburden
• Coal
• Dual Purpose
• Hard Rock

The Volumax+ advantage:

• Lightweight
• Long life span
• Maximised Payload
• Improve Productivity
• Reduced maintenance
• Match capabilities with the loading machine
• Reduced hang-up
• Reduced tire damage
• Reduced haul road maintenance
• Improved operator comfort

The EH5000AC-3 is Hitachi’s largest rigid-frame hauler ever. It combines our time-proven hauler technology with our brand new, high-efficiency Advanced IGBT AC-Drive system. It’s one of the most technologically advanced mining trucks on the market, and it helps raise profits by lowering fuel and maintenance costs. It doesn’t just get work done – it gets more work done.

Product Highlights

• New Advanced Hitachi AC-drive system outperforms previous and competitive systems through its slip and slide control systems, pitch control system and skid control system.
• The Cummins QSKTTA60-CE diesel engine generates 2,850hp (2,125kW) at 1,900 rpm and meets EPA Tier 2 Emission Requirements.
• An all-hydraulic actuated braking system provides precise braking control and quick system responses.
• A new Hitachi system monitor provides display information and diagnostics of all onboard systems and controls.

The EH4000AC-3 combines our time-proven truck technology with our newest and most efficient Advanced IGBT AC-Drive system. Unlike all other competitors, the entire AC-drive system is designed, built and supported by the same company – Hitachi. As a result, it outperforms previous and competitive systems through its simplicity, improved efficiency, and enhanced dependability.

The EH4000AC-3 is one of the most technologically advanced mining trucks in the world, delivering more efficiency, reliability and durability.

Product Highlights

• New Hitachi AC-drive system delivers better performance, higher uptime and helps significantly reduce maintenance and fuel costs.
• The Cummins QSK60C diesel engine generates 1864 kW (2,500 hp) at 1,900 rpm and meets EPA Tier 2 emission requirements.
• Quick stopping power. A service brake-blending feature activates the hydraulic service brake to quickly bring the hauler to a complete stop.
• Cab helps increase operator productivity with more comfort/ease-of-use features, including a 3-point rubber ISO-mount that minimizes vibrations.
