KOMATSU PC240LC-11 CRAWLER EXCAVATOR

Technical Description

The Komatsu PC240LC-11 is a mid-size hydraulic excavator engineered for utility applications requiring extended dig depth and reach capabilities. Powered by a Tier 4 Final compliant engine, this machine delivers 177 horsepower at 2,000 rpm, generating 132 kilowatts of output. The excavator achieves a maximum digging depth of 22 feet 4 inches with a ground-level reach of approximately 34.2 feet, providing exceptional working range for ditch cleaning, general construction, and sloping operations. With an operating weight of 56,360 pounds, the PC240LC-11 offers substantial stability without sacrificing mobility. The machine features a variable displacement piston-type main pump delivering 475 liters per minute of hydraulic flow, enabling smooth, high-performance operation across demanding jobsites. Six selectable working modes—Power, Economy, Lifting, Boom, and two Attachment modes—optimize performance for specific applications while reducing fuel consumption through intelligent load-sensing technology. The bucket capacity ranges from 0.76 to 1.85 cubic yards, accommodating various material handling requirements. The PC240LC-11 incorporates advanced safety and comfort features, including a ROPS cab meeting ISO 12117-2 standards with a heated air suspension seat and high-resolution LCD color monitor. The hydraulic system utilizes Hydraulic Mind technology with closed-center configuration and pressure-compensated valves for precise control. A heavy-duty aftertreatment system combining diesel particulate filtration and selective catalytic reduction ensures environmental compliance. The excavator also supports Komtrax telematics for operator management and machine performance monitoring.
