Construction companies across the world have a new player to get down and dirty with. Komatsu has introduced a couple new excavators capable of moving a lot of dirt while providing fuel efficient, eco-friendly power.
The new PC1250SP-11 and PC1250LC-11 excavators are powered by 758-horsepower Komatsu SAA6D170E-7 engines with two diesel particulate filters to meet Tier 4 Final emissions regulations. The dash 11s are equipped with new engines that provide 13 percent more power than engines on previous models.
In an effort for reduce fuel consumption, the engine also has an auto idle and auto idle shutdown to prevent operators from just sitting doing nothing with the machine for an extended period of time.

Other features include a larger more comfortable cab, 7-inch LCD color monitor, split display, a four camera system allowing multiple views of the work area.
When it comes to maintenance, filters are grouped together in the front for easy access. Fuel priming is electric. There is a reversible hydraulic fan to clean out debris from the coolers. New hydraulic filter sensors monitor restruction and trigger warning indicator in the monitor.
An added feature if desired is a hydraulic-powered ladder that provides easier access to the cab and the walkway.
