Monitor Function
Controller monitors engine oil level,
coolant temperature, battery charge
and air clogging, etc. If controller
finds any abnormality, it is displayed on the LCD with code.
Hydraulics
Unique two-pump system ensures smooth compound
movement of the work equipment. HydrauMind controls
both pumps for efficient engine power use. This system
also reduces hydraulic loss during operation.

The arm and boom are strengthened to correspond to increasing
bucket and arm digging forces. The arm and boom cross sectional
strength are also increased 25% and 8% respectively. The boom and
arm have large cross-sectional dimensions as well as continuous groove
welding, improving digging and side-contact strength.
● Sturdy Frame Structure
The revolving frame, center frame and undercarriage are designed
by using the most advanced three-dimensional CAD and FEM analysis
technology.
● Reliable Components
All of the major machine components, such as engine, hydraulic pumps,
hydraulic motors and control valves, etc., are exclusively designed and
manufactured by Komatsu.
● Highly Reliable Electronic Devices
Exclusively designed electronic devices have passed severe testing.
● Controller ● Sensors
● Connectors ● Heat resistant wiring
● Metal guard rings protect all the hydraulic cylinders and improve reliability.
