Technical Description

The Komatsu PC270LC-8 is a versatile hydraulic excavator engineered for demanding earthmoving and construction applications. Powered by a Komatsu SAA6D107E-1 turbocharged, water-cooled engine, it delivers 187 net horsepower at 2,050 rpm, providing robust power for sustained heavy-duty operations. With an operating weight of 67,393 pounds (approximately 29,020 kg), the machine offers substantial stability and breakout force while maintaining excellent maneuverability on job sites. The PC270LC-8 features a maximum digging depth of 22.75 feet and maximum reach along the ground of 22.75 feet, enabling operators to access challenging excavation areas efficiently. The excavator is equipped with a variable displacement piston-type main pump delivering 450 liters per minute, powering the boom, arm, bucket, swing, and travel circuits with four distinct working modes for optimized performance across diverse tasks. The undercarriage incorporates an X-frame center section with box-section track frame construction, coupled with hydrostatic drive motors that achieve a maximum travel speed of 5.5 km/h. The service brake employs hydraulic lock technology, while the parking brake utilizes a mechanical disc system for reliable holding on slopes up to 70 percent gradeability. Standard features include a 400-liter fuel tank, comprehensive cab damper mounting for vibration reduction, and the integrated Komtrax remote monitoring system. The machine delivers a bucket digging force of 176 kilonewtons and arm crowd force of 165 kilonewtons, making it well-suited for civil construction, rental operations, and general earthmoving projects requiring precision and reliability.
