Komatsu has upgraded its PC130LC-11 small excavator with a long undercarriage. The 97.2-horsepower (72.5-kilowatt) digger burns up to 12% less fuel than its PC130-8 predecessor, the manufacturer says. At the same time, the PC130LC-11 has up to 20% greater lift capacity owing to its extended carriage length.

"The upgraded PC130LC-11 excavator can easily handle a wide variety of utility work or small construction jobs," says Komatsu Director, Tracked Products, Andrew Earing. "It provides a versatile workhorse for you as your business expands and grows."

The PC130LC-11 is a conventional-tailswing excavator built for durability, reliability, and productivity, Komatsu says. The machine’s high-pressure hydraulic system contributes to its strong arm and bucket digging forces. Steel castings in the excavator’s boom foot, boom nose, and arm tip extend the machine’s longevity by dissipating working loads away from critical areas.

The operator can further curb the PC130LC-11’s fuel consumption by setting its automatic idle shutdown feature to stop its 4-cylinder Komatsu diesel motor after a certain amount of idle time. The manufacturer’s KDOC diesel oxidation catalyst uses passive regeneration more than 98% of the time to minimize particulates in the Tier 4 Final engine’s exhaust. The excavator has a 3.4-mph (5.5-km/h) top travel speed.
