Additional Notes

  • The Hitachi EH1100-3 rigid dump truck carries a hydraulic steering system capacity of 112 liters, the smallest figure among the EH series configurations listed here.
  • The EH1700-3 steps up to a 170-liter hydraulic steering system capacity, reflecting the larger physical scale of the machine relative to the EH1100-3.
  • The EH4500-2 with a Cummins engine and the EH4500-2 with a Detroit Diesel engine both share an identical hydraulic steering system capacity of 291 liters, indicating that engine choice does not affect the steering hydraulic circuit volume on that platform.
  • The EH5000 with Detroit Diesel engine also carries a 291-liter hydraulic steering system capacity, matching the EH4500-2 figure despite being a distinct model designation.
  • All five configurations are rated under normal use conditions, meaning the stated capacities apply to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty cycles.
  • The hydraulic system noted across all rows serves the steering function, meaning the listed capacity figures represent the total fluid volume for a combined hydraulic and power steering circuit rather than a standalone steering reservoir.
  • The EH4500-2 was produced from 2008-2013, while the EH5000 with Detroit Diesel covers an earlier window of 2000-2009, making the EH5000 the only configuration in the dataset with a start year predating 2008.
  • The EH1100-3 and EH1700-3 both carry a 2008 start year, placing them in the same generation of introduction as the EH4500-2 within the EH series lineup.
