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.

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.

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.
