Komatsu Introduces New Hydraulic Excavators with Larger Cab, Higher Efficiency

Komatsu has introduced two new 21–24 ton-class hydraulic excavators, the PC220LC-12 and the PC220LCi-12.

Both models feature a cab that is 28% larger than the PC210LC-11, with more legroom and improved visibility. The machines also deliver up to 20% greater fuel efficiency and up to 20% lower maintenance costs, along with performance increases of 7% in lifting capacity and 8% in bucket digging force, according to the company.

The PC220LCi-12 includes Komatsu’s Intelligent Machine Control (IMC) 3.0 technology with factory-integrated 3D boundary control, allowing operators to set automated work restriction zones.

Standard features across both models include a KomVision 360-degree camera, rollover avoidance alerts, ergonomic controls and an operator ID system that stores up to 50 user profiles.
