PRODUCTIVITY & ECOLOGY FEATURES

HYDRAULIC EXCAVATOR

Komatsu Technology

Komatsu develops and produces all major

components, such as engines, electronics

and hydraulic components, in house.

With this “Komatsu Technology,” and adding

customer feedback, Komatsu is achieving

great advancements in technology.

To achieve both high levels of productivity and

economical performance, Komatsu has

developed the main components with a total

control system.

The result is a new generation of high

performance and environment friendly

excavators.

Large Digging Force

Thanks to the high engine output and an excellent hydraulic
system, this machine demonstrates powerful digging force.

Maximum arm crowd force (ISO):

412 kN 42.0 ton

Maximum bucket digging force (ISO):

479 kN 48.8 ton

Large Drawbar Pull and Steering Force

Since the machine has a large drawbar pull and a high
steering force, it demonstrates excellent mobility even when
it is being used on inclined sites.

Two-mode Setting for Boom

Smooth mode provides easy operation for gathering blasted

rock and scraping operations. When maximum digging force is
needed, switch to power mode for more effective excavating.

Boom raise

Smooth
mode

Shockless Boom Control

The PC1250-8 boom circuit features a shockless valve
(double-check slow return valve) to automatically reduces
the amount of vibration present when operating the boom.
Operator fatigue is reduced (which can improve safety and
productivity), and spillage caused by vibration is minimized.

Working Mode Selection

Power and Economy Mode

The PC1250-8 excavator is equipped with two working

modes. Each mode is designed to match engine speed,

pump flow, and system pressure to the current application,

giving the operator flexibility to match equipment performance

to the job at hand.

Working Mode Application Advantage

(E0,E1,E2,E3)

Power

Mode ● Fast cycle time

Mode ● Good fuel economy

Heavy Lift Mode

Gives the operator 10% more lifting force on the boom when
needed for handling rock or heavy lifting applications.

Swing Priority Setting

The swing priority setting allows the operator to use the same
easy motion for 180˚ loading as 90˚ loading operations. By
altering the oil flow, this setting allows you to
select either boom or swing
as the priority for
increased production.

● Maximum production/power

● Good cycle time

Environment-friendly Clean Engine Mounted

The PC1250-8, which is equipped with the Komatsu
SAA6D170E-5 engine, meets the Tier 3 emission certified in
North America (EPA) and EU stage 3A.
The SAA6D170E-5 engine adopts the world’s first cooled
EGR system with electronically controlled bypass-assist type
venturi. NOx emission is reduced 40%, while maintaining
high power and low fuel consumption.

This is an image photo: may
differ from the actual engine.

Electronically Controlled Variable Speed Fan
Contributes to Low Fuel Consumption and Low
Noise

The electronic control system sets
the rotational speed of the cooling
fan according to the coolant,
hydraulic oil, and ambient
temperature; effectively uses the
engine output to prevent wasteful fuel
consumption; and reduces noise
during low-speed fan rotation.

Lower and Economical Fuel
Consumption Using
Economy Mode

Enables operator to set the Eco
mode to up to four levels
according to working conditions
so that production requirement is
achieved at lowest possible fuel consumption.

Reduction of Ambient Noise

Reduced noise by adoption of an electronically controlled
variable speed fan drive, large hybrid fan, low-noise muffler
and cover with glasswool. Komatsu will launch PC1250 with
lower-noise specifications to the EU market.
