PC160LC-8 Komatsu excavator specs & Dimensions (2010 - 2014)

Continuous Machine Monitoring System

When the starting switch is turned ON, check-before-starting items and caution items appear on the LCD. If abnormalities are found, a warning lamp blinks and a warning buzzer sounds. The continuous machine condition checks help prevent the development of serious problems and allow the operator to concentrate on the work at hand.

Abnormalities Display with Code

When an abnormality occurs during operation, a user code is displayed. When an important user code is displayed, a caution lamp blinks and a warning buzzer sounds to alert the operator to take action.

Walk-Around

Ecology and Economy Features Low Emission Engine A powerful turbocharged and air-to-air aftercooled Komatsu SAA4D107E-1 engine provides 86 kW 115 HP (net). This engine is EPA Tier 3 and EU Stage 3A emissions certified, without sacrificing power or machine productivity. Low Operational Noise The dynamic noise is reduced providing low noise operation Selectable Working Modes Match performance to the application and minimize fuel consumption with E mode Extended Idling Caution Eco-gauge Assists energy saving operation Low Fuel Consumption Additional Features Innovative cab design Slip-resistant plates to improve foot grip Large side-view and sidewise mirrors Rear view monitoring system Operator Protective Guard (OPG) top guard Level 2 capable Large TFT LCD Monitor Easy-to-see and use large 7” multi-function color monitor Can be displayed in 12 languages Easy hydraulic flow adjustment

Working Mode Selection

The PC160LC-8 excavator is equipped with five working modes (P, E, L, B, and ATT). Each mode is designed to match engine speed, pump flow, and system pressure with the current application. This provides the flexibility to match equipment performance to the job at hand.

Idling Caution

To help prevent unnecessary fuel consumption, an idling caution is displayed on the monitor if the engine idles for 5 minutes or more.

Eco-gauge that Assists Energy-saving Operation

The Eco-gauge, that can be recognized at a glance on the right of the multi-monitor, allows the operator to maintain work in the green zone and reduce fuel consumption, for environment-friendly energy-saving operation.

Low Fuel Consumption

The Komatsu SAA4D107E-1 engine enables NOx emissions to be significantly reduced with the accurate multi-staged fuel injection by the engine controller. It improves total engine durability using the high-pressure fuel injection system developed specifically for construction machinery. This excavator significantly reduces hourly fuel consumption using highly-efficient matching techniques of the engine and hydraulic unit and also provides features that promote energy-saving operation such as the E mode and Eco-gauge.

Rear-view Monitoring System

On the large LCD color monitor, the operator can access and view one standard video camera that will display areas directly behind the machine.

Maintenance Features

Maintenance Features Long replacement interval of engine oil, engine oil filter, hydraulic oil and hydraulic filter Fuel pre-filter with water separator as standard equipment Side-by-side cooling concept enables servicing of individual cooling modules Easy access to engine oil filter, fuel filter and fuel drain valve Fuel filter is remotely mounted to improve accessibility Self-diagnostic monitor.

Reliable Components

All of the major machine components such as engine, hydraulic pumps, hydraulic motors, and control valves are exclusively designed and manufactured by Komatsu.

High-Pressure In-line Filters

The PC160LC-8 has high pressure in-line filters installed at the pump discharge ports. This provides an additional level of hydraulic system protection.

Low Noise Cab

The newly-designed cab is highly rigid and has excellent sound absorption ability. Improvement of noise source reduction and use of low noise engine, hydraulic equipment, and air conditioner allow this machine to generate a low level of noise similar to that of a modern automobile.

Low Vibration with Cab Damper Mounting

The PC160LC-8 uses viscous damper mounting for the cab that incorporates a longer stroke and the addition of a spring. The new cab damper mounting combined with high rigidity deck aids vibration reduction at the operator seat.

Pressurized Cab

Automatic air conditioner, air filter, and a higher internal air pressure help prevent dust from entering the cab.

Easy Maintenance

Since the radiator, aftercooler and oil cooler are arranged side-by-side, it is easy to clean, remove and install them. The radiator, aftercooler, and oil cooler are made of aluminum, have high cooling efficiency and are easily recycled.

Gas Assisted Engine Hood Damper Cylinders

The engine hood can be easily opened and closed with the help of the gas assisted engine hood damper cylinders.

Air Conditioner Filters

Both the fresh air filter and the recirculation air filter are removed and installed without the use of tools, facilitating easy filter maintenance.

Self-Diagnostic Monitor

The PC160LC-8 features the most advanced diagnostics system in the industry. The Komatsu-exclusive system identifies maintenance items, reduces diagnostic times, indicates oil and filter replacement hours, and displays error codes.

Oil Maintenance Function

When the machine exceeds the oil or filter replacement time, the oil maintenance monitor will display lights to inform the operator.

Lock Lever

When the lock lever is placed in the lock position, all hydraulic controls (travel, swing, boom, arm, and bucket) are inoperable.

Wide Newly-designed Cab

Newly-designed wide spacious cab includes a seat with reclining backrest. The seat height and longitudinal inclination are easily adjusted using a pull-up lever. You can set the appropriate operational posture of the armrest together with the console. Reclining the seat further enables you to place it into the fully flat state with the headrest attached.

Automatic Air Conditioner

Enables you to easily and precisely set cab temperature with the instruments on the large LCD screen. The bi-level control function keeps the inside of the cab comfortable from top to bottom throughout the year. Defroster function keeps cab glass clear.

Large Multi-Lingual LCD Monitor

A large user-friendly color monitor enables accurate and smooth work. Improved screen visibility is achieved by use of a TFT liquid crystal display that can easily be read at various angles and lighting conditions. All switches are simple and easy to operate. Industry-first function keys facilitate multi-function operations. Displays data in 12 languages to globally support operators around the world.
