At the recently concluded Las Vegas Construction Machinery Expo in the United States, Komatsu showcased its newly upgraded PC900LC-11 excavator based on PC800LC-8.

The new counterweight disassembly system and the reduction of boom transportation height will facilitate the rapid transition of equipment. In addition, the new maintenance channel area provides easy access to filters, oil level checks, and sampling ports. The main structure, boom, and boom have all been redesigned, greatly extending their service life.

Compared to PC800LC-8, PC900LC-11 provides greater bucket and lifting capacity, as well as higher performance:

·Increase productivity by 40%;

·Increase the lifting force of the boom by 25%;

·Increase the turning torque by 12%.

According to official promotional materials, this Komatsu PC900LC-11 hydraulic excavator with 842 horsepower is mainly suitable for heavy working conditions, demolition operations, stone excavation, large-scale mining and other conditions. In order to improve the operator's environmental perception ability, the PC900LC-11 is equipped with tools such as the KomVision camera system as standard. KomVision is a 360 degree monitoring system that uses six cameras to view the surrounding environment in real-time. Additionally, intelligent building 3D guidance and payload monitoring devices are optional.

At the CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2023 exhibition, the PC900LC-11 hydraulic excavator equipped with Komatsu intelligent construction system mainly provides construction operation guidance for operators on site. At the same time, equipment managers can design 2D and 3D construction scenarios for it, and its payload data helps to achieve accurate operation, load control, and improved handling of equipment. This technological upgrade to help excavators improve productivity and profitability can be provided by local Komatsu dealers.
