Features and benefits

Safeguard your operators and work site

Safeguard your operators and work site

Operator and work site safety are a priority. Komatsu hydraulic excavators have an LED screen to give your operator a 360-degree view, each meet ISO 10262, 6394, 10263-4 safety stand-ards, and all include anti-slip gratings, easy ingress/egress and an innovative emergency es-cape system.

Customized to your operation

Customized to your operation

While Komatsu shovels and backhoes meet the density benchmark of 1.8 t/m³, you have the option to customize your machine to the bucket size and wear package you need, and choose your heating/cooling systems, travel gear protections, special track pad variations and more.

Sustainable, powerful engines

Sustainable, powerful engines

Tier 4 engines deliver plenty of power with outstanding sustainability. An exhaust after-treatment system reduces particulate matter, sulfur oxides and dangerous NOx, and easy servicing of emissions components.

The choice for your biggest jobs

The choice for your biggest jobs

Whether in shovel or backhoe configuration, the PC8000 is designed to deliver the highest pro-duction from trucks 240 tons and higher. With up to a 42m3 bucket available, it has the potential to give your mining operation a significant productivity boost.
