Round Profile of Both Front and Rear Portion of the Upper Structure
for Safer Operation

Komatsu hydraulic excavators with small tail swing radius design adopt the round

profile for both left and right corners of the front portion of the upper structure as

well as its rear portion that features less protrusion from the track at swing. The

round profile design contributes to the prevention of contact accident at swing and

allows the machine to work in tight quarters or job sites where there are

some obstacles.

Roadwork

When performing a roadwork, protru-

sion of the machine to the unoccupied

lane is kept minimum since the rear

portion of the upper structure protrudes

slightly from the track at swing. This

allows a dump truck to be positioned

closer to the track of the machine. The

operator is able to load materials effi-

ciently onto the front of the dump body

at ease since ample dumping reach is

assured for the loading. Large working

space is not required for the machine.

Logging and forest roadwork

Since the protrusion of the rear portion

of the upper structure is kept minimum,

there is less possibility of the counter-

weight hitting against a tree or a slope,

allowing the operator to operate the

machine at ease. Furthermore, large

digging height facilitates a slope finish-

ing work large drawbar pull assures

smooth and powerful traveling even on

rough terrain.

Demolition

The machine needs less working

space and can perform efficient demo-

lition work since it has large and ample

digging height.

Sliding Convex Door

The sliding convex door facilitates

easy entrance in confined areas while

reducing the danger of being dam-

aged on roadways because the door

does not protrude when open. The cab

also features a sliding window on the

door.

Easy Pull-up Type Front Window

The front window with lightweight sash

frame can be pulled up easily. The win-

dow pulled

up can be

locked up at

the cab top

with a sin-

gle-touch.

Roomy Cab that Meets ISO
Operator Space Standard

The cab meets ISO operator space

standard and

provides a large

operator with

ample operation

space. The cab

has wide door

way for easy

getting on/off.

Large Capacity Air Conditioner

A 6,900 kcal air conditioner is utilized.

The bi-level control function keeps the

operator's head and feet cool and

warm respectively. This improved air

flow function keeps the inside of the

cab comfortable throughout the year.

Defroster function keeps cab glass

clear.

Safety Features

Sturdy Cab Protects the
Operator from Falling Objects

Fully press mold cab meets the ISO

head guard standard of OPG top guard

level 1. The cab is produced by means

of press integral molding and has a

strengthened frame structure with

improved total rigidity, featuring excel-

lent durability and impact resistance.

Combined with the adoption of inertia-

reel seat belt, the cab protects the

operator from falling objects.

environment…

Large Comfortable
Cab

Multi-Position Controls

The multi-position, PPC (pressure

proportional control) levers allow the

operator to work in comfort

while maintaining precise control.

A double-slide mechanism allows the

seat and controllers to move together

or independently, allowing the operator

to position the seat and controllers for

maximum productivity and comfort.

Low Cab Noise

Cab is highly rigid and has excellent

sound absorption ability. Thorough

improvement of noise source reduction

and use of low noise engine, hydraulic

equipment, and air conditioner allows

this machine to generate a low level of

noise.

Comfortable Ride with
Multi-layer Viscous Cab Mounts

Multi-layer viscous mounts are adopted

for cab mount system. The cab mount

system absorbs shocks

and aids vibration

reduction to provide

comfortable ride.

Pressurized Cab

Optional air conditioner, air filter and a

higher internal air pressure (+3.0 mm

Aq +0.1"Aq) prevent external dust

from entering the cab.

Rubber

Inertia-reel Seat Belt

Easy-to-use inertia-reel seat belt is

employed. The belt support the opera-

tor in case of an emergency.

Tempered and Tinted Glass

Tempered and tinted glass that meets

occupational safety and health regula-

tions is used for cab windows. The

glass features high strength and blocks

ultraviolet rays.

Emergency Escape Hammer

The cab is equipped with a emergency

escape hammer to be used for break-

ing the rear window glass in case of an

emergency.

Start-to-travel Alarm

An alarm is installed as a standard

equipment to give other workers a

warning that the machine will start to

travel.

Pump/engine Room Partition

Pump/engine room partition prevents

oil from spraying on the engine if a

hydraulic hose should burst.

Anti-slip Plates

Highly durable anti-slip plates maintain

superior traction performance for the

long term.

Lock Lever

Locks the hydraulic system to prevent

unintentional movement. Neutral start

function allows

machine to be

started only in

lock position.

displays error codes.

Continuous Machine Monitoring
System

When turning starting switch ON,
Check-before-starting item and
caution items appear on the liquid
crystal panel. If abnormalities are
found, a warning lamp blinks and a
warning buzzer sounds. The continu­ous machine condition checks help
prevent the development of serious
problems and allows the operator to
concentrate on the controls.

Abnormally Display with Code

When an error occurs during
operation, a user code is displayed.
When an important user code is
displayed, a caution lamp blinks and
a warning buzzer sounds to prevent
the development of serious problems.
