PW170-6 Komatsu Excavator Specs & Dimensions - (2000 - 2004)

Active Logo Features

The new “Active” logo with the green “+” confirms that the machine has all of the popular Komatsu “Active” attributes, plus a generous new offering of on-board operator comforts for a better, more productive work environment.

Working Mode Selection

Five working modes are designed to deliver optimal overall machine performance for heavy-duty, general, finishing, lifting and breaker operations. When selected, the mode governs the most efficient combination of engine speed, pump speed and system pressure for the task. The G/O mode has proven to be exceptional as a general running mode, delivering substantial savings in fuel, based on a measure of tonnes excavated/litre of fuel.

Wheeled Excavators

Wheeled excavators need to be flexible, easy to use, and capable of travelling quickly and safely. From the sophisticated hydraulics of HydrauMind to the performance of the transmission, the PW170ES-6 meets these requirements as one of the most advanced wheeled-excavators available today.

Outriggers

Independently controlled outriggers are optionally available on both the front and rear of the machine. The cylinder protections are standard on the outriggers.

Work Equipment and Attachments

The PW170ES-6 can be specified with an enormous range of work-equipment and undercarriage attachments to meet the needs of almost any application.

Dozer Blade

A radial blade is available with standard cylinder protectors for both the front and rear of the machine. A parallel blade is also available as an option but only for the rear of the machine.

Control Features

As well as operating the standard work equipment movements, the RH wrist control lever is also used to operate the undercarriage attachments. When used in conjunction with the selection switch on the control panel, full independent control of outriggers and dozer blade is immediately available. This feature, together with the automatic axle lock, enables the machine to be moved, stabilised and operated extremely quickly.

Operator Control

From the consistent weighting of the steering to the predictable and precise operation of the travel and brake pedals, the operator will always feel in complete control during travelling.

Safe and easy cab access

Entering the cab could not have been made easier; wide steps are perfectly positioned in relation to the large handrails on both sides of the cab door. The tilting steering column and lifting wrist control console further aid access, and once seated the wheel can be firmly locked into any position.

Ergonomic controls

All controls, from the light action wrist control levers to the adjustable monitor panel, have been designed with operator ergonomics in mind. Minor controls are easily visible and operated on the inclined control panel.

Self-diagnostics

The monitor panel incorporates a sophisticated diagnostic system. If a serious fault develops, the operator is warned immediately, whereas more minor problems are stored in the memory to be checked by service staff later. The memory can be extremely useful for service staff to diagnose intermittent problems. Diagnosis is further assisted by using the facility to display the operating condition of the machine, for example, engine speed and pump pressures.

Safe and precise lifting

The machine is equipped with boom safety valves and overload caution as standard. This, combined with the control of HydrauMind and the power of the lifting mode, gives incredibly safe and precise lifting performance.

Accessible service locations

The operator and service staff can safely climb onto the machine using the large handrails and access all service locations easily through the wide opening doors and hoods. Service details include centralised greasing points and full guarding of the turbo-charger, fan and ancillary drive belts.
