PC190-8 LC Komatsu excavator specs & Dimensions (2010 - 2016)

Low noise design

Komatsu Dash 8 crawler excavators feature the lowest in-class external noise levels and are especially well-suited for work in confined spaces or urban areas. Reduced fan speed, a large capacity radiator, and the optimal usage of sound insulation and of sound absorbing materials help to make noise levels inside Dash 8 excavators comparable to those inside an executive car.

Optimal job site safety

Safety features on the Komatsu PC190-8 comply with the latest industry standards and work together as a system to minimise risks to personnel in and around the machine. An audible travel alarm further promotes job site safety. Very durable anti-slip plates – with additional high friction covering – maintain long term traction performance.

Low consumption ecot3 engine

The Komatsu SAA4D107E-1 engine provides high torque, a better performance at low speed and low fuel consumption. This ecot3 engine features a new combustion chamber design with optimised ignition and combustion timing. The operating pressure of the new common rail system was increased for improved injection and fuel efficiency. The air-to-air charge cooler reduces the temperature of the compressed air supplied by the turbo charger to the cylinders, and further improves fuel consumption.

Meets EU Stage IIIA

The new Komatsu ecot3 engine technology reduces NOx and particle emissions, fuel consumption and noise level. The Komatsu SAA4D107E-1 engine is certified for EPA Tier III and EU Stage IIIA emission regulations. To further reduce the machine’s emissions, a Diesel Particulate Filter is also available.

Eco-gauge and idle caution

The unique ECO-gauge helps the operator reduce emissions and fuel consumption for environmentally friendly and energy saving operations. To further avoid wasting fuel when the machine is not actually working, a standard-fit idle caution is displayed if the engine idles for 5 minutes or more.

Water separator

This is standard equipment which removes any water that has become mixed with the fuel, preventing fuel system damage.

5 working modes

Power, Lifting, Breaker, Attachment, and Economy. The PC190-8 features 5 selectable working modes that optimise performance and fuel usage. The Economy mode can be adjusted for an ideal balance between power and economy to match your work. The oil flow delivered to hydraulic attachments is adjustable directly on the class-leading wide screen monitor panel.

Built-in versatility

To allow the use of many attachments, such as buckets, breakers or demolition tools, a power supply for a hydraulic quick coupler with adjustable pressure settings, and an additional hydraulic circuit controlled by a foot pedal and a sliding joystick push button are standard on the PC190-8. A second optional auxiliary line is also available for attachments that require extra hydraulic actuation.

Safe and easy maintenance

Thermal guards are placed around high temperature parts of the engine. The fan belt and pulleys are well protected and in case of damage, fire risk is reduced by a pump/engine partition that prevents hydraulic oil from spraying onto the engine.

Side-by-side cooling

Since the radiator, aftercooler and oil cooler are arranged in parallel, it is easy to clean, remove and install them.

Long-life oil filters

The hydraulic oil filter uses high-performance filtering material for long element replacement intervals, which significantly reduces maintenance costs.

Washable floor

The floor is easy to keep clean. The gently inclined surface has a flanged floormat and drainage holes to facilitate runoff.

A wide choice of options

With a choice of different styles of boom, arm and undercarriage, you can configure the PC190-8 to match specific demands for transport, working envelope or duty. Extra hydraulic arrangements are available for every boom and arm configuration, making sure that the machine always contributes strongly to your business.

Wide spacious cab

The wide and spacious cab includes a newly designed heated air suspension seat with a high backrest. The seat height and longitudinal inclination are easily adjusted with a pull-up lever. You can also set the operational posture of the armrest and the position of the console or recline the seat all the way and place it into a fully flat state with the headrest attached.

Pressurised cab

An automatic air conditioner, an air filter and a positive internal air pressure (60 Pa) combine to prevent external dust from entering the cab.

Safe SpaceCab™

Specifically designed for Komatsu excavators, the Dash 8 cab has a tubular steel frame. It provides very high shock absorbency, impact resistance and durability. The seat belt is designed to keep the operator in the safety zone of the cab in the event of a roll-over. At your request, the Komatsu PC190-8 can also be fitted with an ISO 10262 Level 2 Falling Object Protective System (FOPS).

Rear view camera

A standard fitment camera gives an exceptionally clear view of the rear work zone on the wide-screen monitor panel. Large mirrors on both sides ensure that machine visibility meets the latest ISO standards.

Reduced wastage

To avoid spillage of excess grease – and prolong the life of your machine – the PC190-8 can be equipped with an automatic greasing system that provides precisely the correct amount of grease when and where it’s required.
