The Museum of CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT

2010 OPEN

As use of ICT for construction equipment became more common, things like crewless dump trucks, IT execution, and KOMTRAX were further developed. Hybrid equipment that decreased both fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emission was introduced and marked a new generation of construction machines.

Komatsu iMC mid size excavator PC200i/PC210LCi-10

Equipped with the world's first “Intelligent Machine Control” technology developed by Komatsu, which controls the work machine (boom and arm) operation without scratching the design surfaces, all the while checking the position of the bucket blade edge through information obtained from the GNSS (GPS + GLONASS) antenna and reference stations. Following the ICT bulldozer that was introduced in 2013, this is the second product of the “ICT Machinery” developed by Komatsu to handle the automated construction.

Upon the blade edge of the bucket reaching the design surface, the machinery will automatically stop. In addition, because the blade edge moves along the design surface using the assist function, the operator can perform the excavation work without having to worry about excessive digging. Compared to conventional construction work there is a substantial reduction in the process such as tightening and inspection, which therefore contributes to the improved efficiency in construction work, as well as reducing the number of workers that supplement the surrounding work of the machinery and improving the safety of the work sites.

Weight: 19600kg

Bucket capacity: 0.8m3

Hydraulic excavator OPEN

Since its first emergence in 1951, it took only 50 years for the hydraulic shovel to establish its primary position on construction sites worldwide. Its size ranges from mini to super size depending on the scale of construction, and during the half century, it kept evolving by achieving a minimum rear-swing radius and adapting styles that would work with characteristics of each site. Mirroring the movement of a human hand, a hydraulic shovel will continue to evolve during the 21st century.
