Ryan Whisner Headshot

The Komatsu PC900C-11 is a versatile excavator designed for tough jobs that require high performance.

Based on the PC800LC-8, the new model offers major design enhancements compared to its predecessor.

The company says the new machine takes productivity to a new level. Larger and stronger major structures, booms and arms, and a redesigned revolving frame are engineered to increase longevity.

Komatsu says the PC900LC-11 has increased bucket and lifting capacity, more swing torque, digging forces, and improved engine and hydraulic power compared to the previous model.

The 842-horsepower excavator is said to deliver up to a 40% increase in productivity, 25% more arm crowd force, and 12% more swing torque, making it ideal for heavy construction, demolition, material handling, deep sewer, water, large mass excavation and mining/quarry applications.

A new removable counterweight system helps move the large machine easier, along with a boom configuration to reduce transport height.
