Komatsu America has launched two hydraulic excavators which it says feature increased power, improved production and a single ‘Power +’ operating mode that does not compromise fuel consumption.
The PC1250SP-11 and PC1250LC-11 Tier 4 final emissions certified hydraulic excavators provide improved operator comfort levels, the company adds.
Kurt Moncini, Sr. product manager, tracked equipment, Komatsu America, says: “The PC1250 offers exceptional customer value across a broad range of applications, including sewer and water, general construction, mass excavation, as well as mining, quarry, sand and gravel.”
Both models have SAA6D170E-7 engines with two Komatsu Diesel Particulate Filters that do not require Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) or a Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR) system.
According to Komatsu, the PC1250LC-11 operating weights vary between 269,300 lbs. (122 409 kg) and 275,240 lbs. (125 109 kg). The PC1250SP-11 operating weights vary between 259,960 lbs. (118 164 kg) and 265,900 lbs. (120 864 kg).
New features of the PC1250SP-11/PC1250LC-11 include:
