PW148-10 Komatsu Excavator Specs & Dimensions - (2014 - 2018)

6 working modes

Power, Lifting, Breaker, Economy, Attachment Power and Attachment Economy modes are all available, ensuring that the PW148-10 delivers the required power you need with minimal fuel consumption. The Economy mode can be adjusted for an ideal balance between power and economy to match the work at hand. The oil flow delivered to hydraulic attachments is adjustable directly on the class-leading widescreen monitor panel.

New Komatsu engine technology

The powerful and fuel-efficient Komatsu SAA4D107E-2 engine in the PW148-10 delivers 90,0 kW / 121 HP and is EU Stage IIIB certified. To maximise power, fuel efficiency and emission compliance, it is turbo charged and features direct fuel injection, air-to-air after cooling and cooled EGR.

Adjustable Eco-gauge and idle caution

The new Eco-gauge can be set to target a fuel consumption value, encouraging the operator to work as efficiently as possible. 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.

Easily customised

With a choice of different styles of boom, arm and undercarriage attachments, you can configure the PW148-10 to match specific demands for transport, working envelope or duty. The excavator can be equipped with a parallel-moving dozer blade that stabilizes the machine without damaging the street surface. Extra hydraulic arrangements for every boom and arm make the PW148-10 a strong contributor to your business.

Easy operation

The Komatsu PW148-10 introduces a new operational concept that puts full control of the machine right at the operator’s fingertips. A rear-view camera, undercarriage attachments and the manual axle lock can all be actuated by buttons on top of the operational levers. Without removing the hand from the right joystick, the operator can switch its function from boom operation to undercarriage control for complete and precise control over the parallel dozer blade.

Additional hydraulic circuit

To allow the use of many attachments, such as buckets, breakers or clamshell buckets, an additional hydraulic circuit controlled by a sliding joystick button is standard on the PW148-10. To further increase versatility and flexibility, a second optional auxiliary line and an optional hydraulic quick-coupler actuation are also available.

Proportional controls

The ergonomic joysticks with proportional controls were specially redesigned and developed for working with a wheeled excavator. They have horizontal sliders for the first and second (optional) attachment lines and offer safe and precise operation of attachments such as ditch cleaning buckets, sorting grapples, clamshell buckets, tilt rotators and of many other hydraulic attachments that require very fine control.

Flexible and versatile

The PW148-10 is factory prepared for the use of any standard tilt rotator. In combination with the optional hydraulic quick-coupler actuation, it achieves a maximum of versatility in any application.

Electric refuelling pump

Standard equipment on all PW148-10 includes an automatic shut-off fuelling pump that allows easy refuelling from a barrel.

Newly designed SpaceCab™

The all-new cab provides an ergonomic and quiet work environment, with an outstanding view of the jobsite. ROPS certified, it was specifically designed by Komatsu for hydraulic excavators, with a reinforced pipe-structured framework set up on viscous damper mounts for low vibration levels. Unique features include switches that light up for safe and easy night operation, and a standard telescopic steering wheel, comfortably adjustable in height and reach.

Improved operator convenience

With increased in-cab storage space, an auxiliary input (MP3 jack) and 12 V and 24 V power supply, the cab offers maximum convenience. The automatic air conditioner allows the operator to easily and precisely set the cab’s atmosphere.

Safe SpaceCab™

Specifically designed for Komatsu excavators, the SpaceCab™ has a tubular steel frame. It provides very high shock absorbency, impact resistance and durability. The seat belt keeps the operator in the safety zone of the cab in the event of a roll-over. On request, the Komatsu PW148-10 can also be fitted with an ISO 10262 Level 2 Falling Object Protective System (FOPS).

Walk-Around

The experts at Komatsu designed the PW148-10 with a drastically reduced tail swing to meet the demands of safe and productive work on all jobsites with limited space. Compact, powerful and versatile, this hydraulic wheeled excavator is the perfect machine in urbanised areas or for road construction. Performance and quality: that’s what you expect from Komatsu equipment, and the PW148-10 delivers.

Compact design

The PW148-10 is perfect for confined work sites, with a compact design and a tail swing radius of only 1,85 m. In urbanised areas, but also on road or sewer construction sites where space is limited, the PW148-10 is a high output performer and offers more safety and less worries for the operator.

Komatsu integrated hydraulic system

The PW148-10 is a highly responsive and productive machine with all major hydraulic parts designed and manufactured by Komatsu. The electronic Closed-centre Load Sensing hydraulic System (CLSS) offers complete control during individual or combined movements - without sacrificing performance or productivity.

Centralised greasing system

The PW148-10 features a centralised system that facilitates the regular greasing of the complete revolving frame, boom system and of the centre joint. An optional fully automatic greasing system can handle the regular and proper greasing of the complete machine – prolonging the lifetime and increasing the resale value of the excavator.

Short tail swing radius

Measuring only 1,85 m, the tail of the PW148-10 is more compact than on conventional models, with less need for the operator to worry about movement from the rear of the machine.

Safe operation in confined areas

The compact tail design minimises the risks of rear impact and lets the operator concentrate fully on the job. The machine can work safely in narrow spaces or in obstructed areas.

Excellent travel performance

Wheeled excavators are built to move quickly on and between jobsites. To increase its mobility, the PW148-10 features a completely reworked driveline for faster travel and uphill driving speeds. For extra comfort, cruise control and a driveline power-up function are also standard equipment.

Easy radiator access

Thanks to a side-by-side cooler arrangement, the aftercooler and hydraulic oil radiator can be cleaned easily and repaired individually in case of damage.

Rear-view camera

A standard fitted camera gives an exceptionally clear view of the rear work zone on the widescreen monitor panel. The low profile camera is adjustable and integrated into the counterweight’s shape. On request, another camera can be added to the right side of the machine.

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. The engine hood is hinged to the rear, with anti-slip plates positioned around the engine bay to ensure safe and easy access from all sides. Exceptionally sturdy handrails further contribute to a high safety level.

Simple and convenient service

The large doors and engine hood give convenient access to all daily service points. Filters are centralised and required service intervals are longer to keep machine downtime to a minimum.
