Technical Description

The Komatsu PC160-6 is a compact crawler excavator engineered for versatile construction and excavation applications. Powered by a Komatsu SA4D102E turbocharged diesel engine, this machine delivers 107 net horsepower at 2,100 rpm, providing robust digging performance while maintaining fuel efficiency through its auto-deceleration system. With an operating weight of 35,935 pounds and a track-based undercarriage featuring 41 shoes per side and hydraulic disc brakes, the PC160-6 offers exceptional stability and a maximum drawbar pull of 30,424 pounds for demanding terrain. The excavator's hydraulic system utilizes variable displacement piston pumps with a maximum flow of 73 gallons per minute, delivering fast and powerful digging cycles through Komatsu's HydrauMind control technology. Bucket capacity ranges from 0.4 to 1.3 cubic yards, with the standard configuration at 0.9 cubic yards, allowing adaptation to diverse material handling requirements. Six interchangeable boom and arm configurations enable maximum reach options from 26.9 to 29.8 feet along the ground, with digging depths extending from 16.7 to 20.7 feet depending on the selected setup. Measuring 28.2 feet in length and 8.2 feet in width with a 9.3-foot cab height, the PC160-6 maintains a compact footprint for restricted job sites while delivering excellent ground pressure of 7.4 psi. The machine features electronic closed-centre load sensing and multiple working modes—Power Max for maximum production, Swift Slow Down for precision control, and specialized modes for breaker operations and lifting tasks. Advanced monitoring includes a VHMS controller tracking engine diagnostics, fuel levels, and operational parameters, ensuring reliability and minimizing downtime on jobsites.
