Excavator engineered for waste and recycling
Designed for use in waste/recycling applications, construction, utility/public works, and aggregates, Komatsu’s new PC160LC-7 hydraulic excavator is engineered to reduce operating costs through extended service intervals and increased production. The PC160LC-7 is equipped with a Tier III engine and the latest Komtrax technology, which sends machine operating information to a secure website utilizing wireless technology. Data such as operating hours, location, cautions and maintenance alerts are relayed to the web application for analysis. The Komtrax fleet monitoring system increases machine availability, reduces the risk of machine theft, allows for remote diagnosis by the distributor, and provides a wealth of other information to drive business efficiently and productively.
Special features of the PC160LC-7 include: a turbocharged SAA4D107E-1 engine with a flywheel horsepower of 115 hp; EPA Tier 3 and EU Stage 3A emissions compliance (including a reduction of Nox emissions by 30 percent over the previous model) without sacrificing power or machine productivity; a large drawbar pull of 35,160 pounds which provides excellent steering and enhanced slope-climbing performance; an LCD Multi-function Monitor; and four working modes designed to match engine speed, pump speed and system pressure with the current application. The PC160LC-7 cab is designed to be highly rigid with excellent sound absorption, providing an exceptionally comfortable operating environment. The pressurized cab and air filter allow for the air conditioner to run while keeping external dust and dirt out, and a multi-viscous cab mount system (incorporating a spring) reduces the amount of vibration affecting the operator. Noise levels are reduced through the tightly sealed cab design and, thanks to the larger cab,the operating seat is capable of full, fl at reclining. The seat and controllers operate on a double-slide mechanism that allows them to be adjusted together or independently of each other, assisting in maximum operator productivity and comfort. Units also include easy maintenance, including Komatsu’s exclusive EMMS (Equipment Management Monitoring System). EMMS continually monitors all critical excavator systems, alerting and guiding the operator should a problem occur.
