  • Comfortable, quiet cab
  • Engineered for high-debris environments

Features and benefits

Exceptional range of motion

Exceptional range of motion

Move large trees around easily thanks to a powerful swing system and a large swing circle. Achieve exceptional reach, as well — up to 29 feet (8,951 mm). Superior maneuverability helps you drive productivity.

Excellent ground clearance

Excellent ground clearance

Maneuvers reliably in tough forestry environments thanks to a high and wide undercarriage designed with larger class-size components.

Comfortable, quiet cab

Comfortable, quiet cab

Reduce fatigue and support productivity by giving your operators a quiet, comfortable work environment. Cabs are climate-controlled and equipped with Bluetooth technology. The cushioned air-suspension seat can be heated or cooled.

Protects against falling limbs

Protects against falling limbs

An extra-rugged exterior protects your investment by guarding against falling limbs, with glass and metal are thick enough withstand demanding environments. Thicker service undercover guards, thicker rear compartment doors, right corner guard with tree deflector and much more.

Stands up to debris

Stands up to debris

Minimize worries when working in high-debris conditions with a machine engineered to handle the situation. A robust wide-fin radiator design is protected by fine screens and a variable pitch reversing fan delivers improved airflow.

Purpose-built

Purpose-built

Engineered for processing with Komatsu-designed setups to help you maximize productivity.

Quick power for productivity

Quick power for productivity

Adjust quickly to a sudden change in load weight without losing productivity. The Auto Power Max feature automatically senses the change and reacts with an 8.5-second burst of additional horsepower to help pull the trees through during the delimbing process of the wood.

Efficient and powerful

Efficient and powerful

Achieve exceptional performance with low fuel consumption thanks to a powerful PC290LL-11 Size Class engine from factory. Proprietary Komatsu technology delivers exceptional performance with high fuel efficiency.

Fewer refueling trips

Fewer refueling trips

Spend more time on the job and less time refueling with additional fuel storage. The tank is located in the rear of the carrier and built into the counterweight, delivering double the fuel capacity compared to the prior model. * * Comparison is to the PC210LL-10 (813 L)
