Safety

Factory-Integrated Collision Avoidance to Enhance Jobsite Safety

Take job site safety to the next level with enhanced built-in safety technology designed to protect not only your operators, but anyone working around the machine and nearby equipment and property.

With 360° visibility, human- and object-aware detection, and auto-stopping, this excavator is designed to prevent incidents and enhance overall jobsite safety.

Collision Detection and Avoidance

The PC220LC-12 and PC220LCi-12 can detect both humans and objects, providing alerts when someone or something gets too close to the working machine. If a human or object is detected within the avoidance zone, the machine will automatically stop all travel and swing operations.

These industry-leading safety features come standard from factory on both the PC220LC-12 and PC220LCi-12 excavators.

Technology

Achieve Next Level Results with IMC 3.0 Technology

Komatsu’s next-generation Intelligent Machine Control (IMC 3.0) technology brings factory-integrated automation to everyday work, helping crews hit grade faster, reduce rework and move more material per shift.

Four ways IMC 3.0 technology can benefit your jobsite

Four ways IMC 3.0 technology can benefit your jobsite

1. Higher Accuracy, Less Rework

Semi-automatic functions (such as Auto-Stop Control) ensure the bucket/blade stops precisely at the 3D design surface, eliminating costly over-digging and material waste.

2. Boosted Productivity and Efficiency

Features such as Auto Swing (for truck loading) automate repetitive movements, increasing cycle speeds and making every pass more productive.

3. Reduced Operator Skill Gap

The integrated automation helps operators of all experience levels achieve final grade quickly and accurately, speeding up training and consistently maximizing efficiency across the entire crew.

4. Enhanced Jobsite Safety

The 3D Boundary Control feature creates virtual "walls" to restrict machine movement (height, depth, and side limits), preventing collisions with utilities, power lines, or other hazardous areas.

Want to dig deeper into how IMC 3.0 technology can boost overall productivity?

IMC 3.0 offers several new automated functions that reduce rework, increase uptime and improve operator performance, regardless of experience.

Cab

Re-Imagined Excavator Cab Built for Operator Performance

Productivity starts in the cab. The newly redesigned PC220LC-12 and PC220LCi-12 cab is built to keep operators more comfortable and focused, helping to reduce fatigue and increase overall productivity throughout the longest shifts.

Key improvements include:

Key improvements include:

  • 28% larger cab for a more spacious working environment, reducing fatigue over long shifts and supporting sustained productivity.
  • 30% more legroom to improve operator comfort, minimizing strain and helping maintain consistent performance throughout the day.
  • 50% improved visibility supports safer, more confident operation.
  • Console pull-back mechanism for easier entry and exit, improving overall operator experience.

*compared to the PC210LC-11

With more room to move, clearer sightlines and an operator-focused design, the cab on the new line of Komatsu excavators keeps operators comfortable and productive, supporting higher uptime and consistent output across every shift.

The result: improved productivity, better operator retention, and a strong return on equipment investment.
