Find out why you should buy a Komatsu, and the latest machine added to their stock.
ABOUT KOMATSU
Komatsu has been a main manufacturer in the construction industry since 1921. The company was first established in Japan by Meitaro Takeuchi. They were well known in the early years for producing machines suitable for forestry and mining. However since then, they are now leading manufacturers of plant equipment.
Komatsu is a brand that has focused on precision, accuracy and detail when it comes to designing machinery. This is the main reason why construction companies love Komatsu diggers. When you buy a Komatsu machine, operators will be using equipment that is practical, durable and of course high quality. Nothing gets the job done better than a Komatsu digger. Especially with the new machine model released by Komatsu earlier this month.
So what’s different?
ARE YOU LOOKING FOR HIGH PRODUCTIVITY WHEN IT COMES TO MACHINERY?
There is a new upcoming digger model that will be available on the construction market shortly. The Komatsu PC360 LCi-11 and PC360 NLCi-11, are the latest machines released from Komatsu.
With operating weights ranging from 35,770 kg to 36,50 kg and a maximum recommended bucket capacity of 2.66m3, we estimate that this machine is going to be very popular with construction workers. High productivity earthmoving and precision grading is also promised when using these diggers, according to Komatsu.
So let’s take a look at why they will be fantastic machines to add to your plant fleet…
What’s new?
These 36 tonne excavators will be of a similar design to the original Komatsu PC360 digger, however it has come with new and exciting upgrades.
The new Komatsu PC360 will come as standard with a brand new IMU sensor for tilt buckets. This specific feature will allow buckets to be mounted and calibrated easier than before. It will also increase attachment and machine utilisation to increase productivity on site.
A new IMU monitor has also been installed for the operator’s use. Controls should be easy to operate in a digger cab, and Komatsu has done just this. The screen will navigate through menus similar to any smart phone. It will also be slimmer, lighter and packed with more memory capability.
Auto tilt control is a new feature for the Komatsu PC360, and it’s certain to boost productivity, when used on site. It has been designed to allow the bucket to automatically tilt to the correct position, depending on the terrain. Operators will not be required to manually step in and change the course of direction.
Bucket angle hold is another contemporary feature that has been designed to assist with grading. Again, the operator will not need to adjust the angle with the digger lever, once an angle has been set the digger will maintain this position.
Sounds exciting right? Are you now looking to buy a Komatsu PC360?
