Komatsu’s short -tail-swing excavator
Komatsu Canada recently introduced the PC228USLC-3 short-tail-swing excavator with Tier 3 engine. The new machine has 148 flywheel hp (110 kW), an operating weight between 49,900 and 51,110 pounds (22 634 and 23 183 kg) and a bucket capacity range of 0.66 to 1.57 cubic yards.
Occupying a 180-degree swing width of 13 feet 1 inch (3 988 mm) with a loaded bucket, as well as a large counterweight than requires no additional clearance, the PC228USLC-3 is ideal for working in confined areas such as roadways, bridges, and urban areas.
The excavator is equipped with the newly developed, powerful, low emission Komatsu SAA6D107E-1 electronically controlled common rail type engine that emissions by 29significantly reduces Noxpercent with an accurate multi-staged fuel injection system. The engine meets EPA Tier 3 emission regulations without sacrificing power or machine productivity.
The PC228USLC-3 is equipped with working modes designed to match engine speed, pump flow and system pressure to specific application requirements, giving the operator flexibility to match equipment performance to the job at hand.
Economy mode now features four settings, allowing the operator to achieve required production with the lowest possible fuel consumption. In the power mode, the machine is set for maximum-horsepower operation. Even if the pressure varies with the pump load, the engine speed is properly controlled and the engine is always used near the rated output point. This mode is suitable for large production and heavy-load work since the engine output is fully utilized.
The lifting mode gives the operator seven percent more lifting force on the boom making it ideal for situations such as lifting heavy pipe, or precise control with heavier loads.
A breaker mode is now provided as an independent function that allows for maximum production and power.
