New Komatsu PC88MR-11 rolls in
Recently introduced excavator realizes major gains in productivity, says KomatsuKomatsu says its new PC88MR-11 excavator delivers productivity improvements of up to seven per cent.
According to Carl Grundy, Komatsu Australia’s National Sales Manager – Utility, the new midi excavator will do more for Aussie and Kiwi businesses, both in terms of work and their bottom line.
Tight-access specialist
Recently introduced to both the Australian and New Zealand markets, the PC88MR-11 has been designed for tight-access applications, including excavation, rock work and utilities projects.
“We’ve made upgrades from the previous model and seen some great improvements in productivity, comfort and serviceability,” says Grundy. “In particular, we’ve made some improvements to the hydraulic flow that means greater productivity and fuel efficiency for operators. The blade profile has also been redesigned, which makes backfilling and grading easier with this model.
“This model delivers 12 per cent greater attachment circuit hydraulic flow than the previous model with improvements to the auxiliary hydraulic system, which lets operators get the most out of their attachments for the different types of jobs.”
The short tail swing and swing boom make the PC88MR-11 ideal for tight spaces in residential areas and its compact size means it can be easily transported on equipment trailers from site to site.
“We’ve also looked at the serviceability of the machine and how we can make that easier for customers,” says Grundy. “This model has three service access doors, including new doors at the rear of the machine, improving access for maintenance or repair.
“The cab is also designed with the operator in mind, ensuring it’s a quiet and comfortable work environment and all the controls are easy to reach.”
Komtrax monitoring as standard
The model comes standard with the Komtrax wireless monitoring system. “Komtrax gives owners and operators an easy way to track their machines, monitor their performance and stay up to date about the status of their equipment, saving time and maximising profits.
“The machine is backed by the service and support of our wide-reaching Komatsu branch network, meaning no matter where your jobsite is, our team is available to help with any issues.
“The previous model of the PC88MR was very popular, and we’re looking forward to rolling this newest model out to our customers.”
