コマツ（小松製作所） PC 200-8

The Komatsu PC200-8 series stands as an industry benchmark in the 20-tonne class excavator segment, renowned for its exceptional reliability, fuel efficiency, and operational versatility that have made it a top choice for contractors, rental companies, and construction firms worldwide. As a true workhorse in the global construction landscape, it excels in a diverse range of applications from general earthmoving and foundation digging to road construction, municipal projects, and light mining operations, combining robust Japanese engineering with intelligent technology to deliver consistent performance while minimizing total cost of ownership. At the core of the PC200-8 lies the powerful Komatsu SAA6D107E-1 six-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine, delivering a reliable 110 kW (148 HP) at 2,000 rpm with a displacement of 6.69 liters. This advanced powerplant features a high-pressure common rail fuel injection system that precisely controls combustion for optimal efficiency and reduced emissions, while generating strong low-end torque for consistent performance under heavy loads. The engine is paired with multiple work modes including Power (P) mode for maximum productivity, four levels of Economy (E0-E3) modes for fuel savings, plus specialized Breaker (B), Lifting (L), and Attachment (ATT) modes to match specific job requirements. Complementing the engine is Komatsu's proprietary CLSS (Closed-Center Load-Sensing System) hydraulic system, which provides precise, responsive operation with minimal energy waste. This advanced system generates a maximum bucket breakout force of 152 kN (15.5 tonnes) and arm digging force of 118 kN (12.0 tonnes), enabling efficient excavation of hard soil, rock, and other challenging materials. With a standard bucket capacity of 0.9 m³ (optional 0.50-1.20 m³) and maximum digging depth of 6,620 mm, it handles medium-depth excavation tasks with ease, while the 12.4 rpm swing speed ensures quick cycle times between digging and loading operations. Built for long-term durability, the PC200-8 features reinforced boom and arm structures with high-tensile steel, heavy-duty undercarriage components, and wear-resistant materials in critical stress areas, ensuring reliable operation in harsh working environments. The PC200LC-8 variant offers an extended undercarriage with 9 track rollers per side (compared to 7 on standard models) for enhanced stability and reduced ground pressure, making it ideal for soft terrain and heavy lifting applications. Intelligent features include Komatsu's advanced Equipment Management Monitoring System with a 7-inch multi-color LCD monitor that provides real-time data on engine performance, fuel consumption, and maintenance alerts, while the Komtrax remote monitoring system enables fleet managers to track machine location, hours, and health status remotely. Operator comfort is prioritized with an ergonomic ROPS/FOPS certified cab featuring low-noise design (75 dB), adjustable suspension seat, and intuitive controls that minimize fatigue during long work shifts. Automatic idle and programmable auto-shutdown functions further reduce fuel consumption during idle periods, while the spacious cabin with excellent 360° visibility enhances safety and productivity. The PC200-8 also supports a wide range of attachments including hydraulic breakers, grapples, augers, and thumbs, expanding its versatility across multiple job site requirements. With its proven track record of reliability, fuel efficiency, and performance, the Komatsu PC200-8 series has established itself as a legendary machine in the global construction equipment market, offering exceptional value for contractors seeking a durable and productive excavator for their mid-sized projects. Its popularity in the used equipment market is a testament to its longevity, with well-maintained units often delivering 10,000+ hours of reliable service.
