A Trusted Model for Contractors and Used Equipment Buyers

Although the Komatsu PC200LC-8 is now discontinued, it remains a valuable option for contractors and buyers researching used machines. Known for its power, speed, and reliability, this excavator has been a favorite in the industry for years. Its efficient design, coupled with advanced technology, ensures it continues to be a relevant choice for those seeking productivity and fuel efficiency.

Fuel-Efficient and High-Performing

One of the standout features of the PC200LC-8 is its fuel efficiency. It combines low fuel consumption with reduced emissions, making it an eco-friendly option for contractors. The excavator also incorporates advanced information technology, enhancing operator comfort and boosting productivity. Features like the quick-return circuit improve cycle times, helping you maintain high production while lowering costs.

Productivity Features for Faster Work

The PC200LC-8 is equipped with five working modes—Power, Economy, Breaker, Lifting, and Attachment—allowing operators to easily adjust machine settings to suit different tasks. These modes, along with other key functions, are controlled through a user-friendly seven-inch monitor. The system provides instant feedback, allowing operators to optimize performance and maximize fuel savings.

Advanced Monitoring for Efficiency

The PC200LC-8’s monitor also includes the “Ecology Gauge,” which provides real-time feedback on machine load and fuel consumption. The gauge helps operators maintain efficiency by alerting them when the machine is idling too long, a common cause of fuel waste. With these insights, operators can further reduce fuel consumption and lower operating costs.

Komtrax Telematics for Smarter Operations

The PC200LC-8 comes equipped with Komtrax, Komatsu’s telematics system, which provides detailed machine data such as location, operating hours, service alerts, and abnormality codes. This valuable information helps reduce downtime and lower overall operating costs. Additionally, the Equipment Management Monitoring System stores troubleshooting data and notifies you when it’s time for maintenance, ensuring the machine runs efficiently.
