Built to empower operators

The PC220LC-12 is designed to empower operators to achieve high productivity on your jobsite while controlling costs. With a strong focus on enhancing the cab, it was engineered with the goal of creating the most comfortable, advanced, customizable and efficient working environment in a Komatsu excavator.

  • Up to an 18% increase in workload productivity in the new P plus mode
  • Up to an 8% increase in digging force and up to a 7% increase in overall lifting capacity
  • The cab is 28% larger with 30% more legroom and 50% improved visibility*
  • Large, intuitive and customizable high-definition cab monitor
  • New multi-function, comfortable operator seat with heating and air suspension
  • Up to a 20% reduction in fuel and diesel exhaust fluid costs*

Note: *All percentage claims are based on a comparison to the previous PC210LC-11 model. Cost reductions are achieved through a new electronically controlled hydraulic system and a high-output engine.
