Komatsu introduces new PC220LC-12 and PC220LCi-12 excavators

Komatsu has launched two new excavators – the PC220LC-12 and PC220LCi-12. Both 21-24 tonne-class hydraulic excavators are ideal for residential and commercial contractors, either performing basic land clearing and general earthwork or more advanced GPS design-driven site development. The PC220LCi-12 includes the same features plus IMC 3.0, Komatsu’s latest intelligent machine control technology, incorporating automation enhancements designed to improve operator productivity throughout each shift. Compared to the PC210LC-11, both excavators feature a cab that is 28% larger with 30% more legroom and 50% improved visibility, up to a 20% increase in fuel efficiency due to a new electro-hydraulic system and high-output engine, up to a 20% reduction in maintenance costs due to longer replacement intervals for hydraulic oil and oil filters and longer cleaning intervals for the particulate filter and up to 7% in lifting capacity and up to 8% in bucket digging force.
