Komatsu has introduced a new range of demolition excavators to the North American market. The PC490HRD-11, PC290LC-11, PC360LC-11, and PC490LC-11 have successfully operated in the European market for over 20 years and are now available to the North American demolition industry.
The PC490HRD-11 demolition excavator features the K100 boom change system, enabling operators to begin working within minutes of arriving at a job site and minimizing the time for boom changes as the job progresses. The machine can reach up to 104 feet and includes a full demolition guarding package, excellent visibility from a 45-degree tilting cab, and an informative human/machine interface panel.
The PC290LC-11, PC360LC-11, and PC490LC-11 straight boom excavators boost reach, providing 22 percent to 26 percent more reach than standard excavators, with easy customization allowing users to program up to 15 tools. The machines are built to tackle tough demolition jobs with robust protection elements like heavy-duty revolving frame and under guards, bucket cylinder guard, boom light protection guards, and reinforced attachment linkage.
Komatsu’s additional product line of Lehnhoff quick couplers and Montabert demolition attachments can be paired with these demolition excavators.
“Komatsu understands that the demolition industry is a fast growing and evolving segment that demands new product innovation,” said Bruce Boebel, director of products and services at Komatsu. “We are excited to be able to now provide this family of demolition excavator solutions in support of the industry, offering the ability to quickly customize for different working environments and provide versatility and efficiency at the job site.”
