Komatsu is the leader in adapting hydraulic excavators for use in specialized applications. Our full line of purpose-built material handlers are designed entirely from customer input and field data pulled from material handling operations. Working side-by-side with you and our distributor network has allowed us to offer the most technologically advanced product line-up in the world: The strength and stability of these machines is unmatched in the industry. Example: the PC300HD upper structure is married to the PC400 lower structure. This offers more powerful track motors, larger components and a heavier undercarriage for more stability. Combine this with the load sensing and pressure compensated valves of Komatsu s exclusive HydrauMind hydraulic system and you get a strong, easy to operate machine matched perfectly to your application. CRUSHED STONE, BROKEN RECORDS Komatsu s HydrauMind hydraulics have helped customers like Bart Mulzer of Mulzer Crushed Stone move sand, gravel and limestone faster than ever before. HydrauMind load-sensing and pressure compensated valves allow automatic adjustment of machine power to specific work applications, making operation easy and accurate. The PC400LC MH is an extremely quick and powerful machine, says Mulzer. The machine is moving anywhere from 4,000 to 5,000 tons in a 10-hour shift, and we get a full bucket every time.
Komatsu s fleet of material handlers features the same spacious, ergonomically designed cabs that are found in its Dash 7 line of hydraulic excavators. These cabs are unrivaled in providing optimal comfort, functionality, safety and visibility to the operator while also providing 14 percent more space within the cab. Multi-position, Pressure Proportional Controls (PPC) allow the operator to comfortably maintain precise control of machine functions at all times. Suregrip-brand controllers offer fingertip control for all working modes. And attachments can now be changed with just a flip of a switch. NEW CAB OFFERS PRACTICAL COMFORT Additional enhancements have been made to the cab to better serve material handling applications. Manual tilt cab risers offer the visibility operators need to effectively load and unload everything from barges to trucks to railcars.a new front window guard protects operators from debris without limiting visibility. A hydraulic control package is included for opening, closing and rotating grapples and includes controls and switches inside the cab. The generator controller and magnet instrumentation are included in the cab riser for magnet operations, while the load power gauge and operating switches are mounted within the cab. A PARTNER ONBOARD Komatsu s Equipment Management Monitoring System (EMMS) is a self-diagnostic onboard monitor that allows the operator a selection of working modes to better tailor machine output to the job at hand. It also monitors the status of machine fluids, temperatures, standard replacement intervals and any abnormalities that may arise during normal operation. If an abnormality is found, it is displayed on the monitor s LCD screen to immediately warn the operator. It also features a Trouble Data Memory Function that stores abnormalities in the monitor for effective trouble shooting.
Komatsu has partnered with Young Corporation to outfit Komatsu material handlers with a wide variety of attachments and boom configurations. Young has spent over 100 years building durable, high performance attachments for the construction industry. With Young as its partner, Komatsu provides material handling attachment packages that achieve the most effective combination of reach, lift capacity and speed. Young s two- and three-piece fronts are built to withstand the stress of swinging large loads. Two-piece fronts feature GRAPPLE BUCKET ORANGE PEEL MAGNET GRAPPLE fewer moving parts to maintain, are lighter and cost less. Three-piece fronts offer more versatility by supporting a larger working range, and provide the strength to lift and swing heavier loads in close. And all hydraulic cylinders for the arm are positioned underneath the boom a design that further increases lifting power. LIKE A UTILITY KNIFE ONLY BETTER Komatsu has an attachment built to fit your needs. Choose from a selection of grapples, shears, orange peels, magnets, clam buckets and more to fully complement your Komatsu material handler. Popular models include four- and five-tine scrap grapples, clam buckets for sand and aggregates, and fourand five-tine orange peels perfect for scrap, refuse and demolition jobs. TONS OF ADVANTAGES Marine Terminals of Arkansas has optimized its scrap unloading operation on the Mississippi River with the addition of a PC1250LC-7MH. With a cable crane it took the company almost 48 hours to unload a single barge. Today with one hydraulic material handler they unload a barge in 2-3 hours and average 600 tons of scrap per hour. Rick Ellis of Marine Terminals puts it simply: We re happy with the lifting capacity and swing stability. It s operator friendly and it s a productionoriented machine. The strength of the machine and the strength of the hydraulics are secondto-none.
