New PC1250-11 Excavator from Komatsu

Komatsu Europe International N.V. has launched of the new PC1250-11, a large hydraulic excavator with improved production levels and safety features.

“The PC1250-11 has operating weights ranging from 115,9 tonnes to 118,3 tonnes. A Komatsu SAA6D170E-7 engine provides 578 kW / 775 HP @ 1.800 rpm,” the company said in its announcement.

Exempt from current EU emission regulations, but EU Stage V ready, it features two Komatsu Diesel Particulate Filters (KDPF), with no need for a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system.

“Komatsu has redefined industry standards with this new excavator,” said Jo Monsieur, Product Manager at Komatsu Europe. “It not only combines great performance with excellent comfort, but also ensures that work can be performed safely, thanks to an impressive array of standard safety features”.

Work modes include the Power and Economy modes, and the PC1250-11 also benefits from the new “Power plus” (P+) mode, which allows the operator to make full use of the increased engine power to achieve up to 8% higher production than with a PC1250-8 in P mode.

According to Komatsu, the Heavy lift and Swing Priority functions are still available, as on the previous model.
