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.
Reduces fuel consumption while maintaining work performance. At the same time, it improves efficiency with Komatsu's proprietary advanced features, including automatic interference avoidance, depth measurement, and vertical auto-stop. Introducing a floor tilt-up mechanism allows accurate and speedy maintenance work inside the machine.
Equipped with a 3.5-inch multifunction LCD monitor to display a lot of information clearly, as well as KOMTRAX, which allows collecting significantly more comprehensive data. Compliant with the 3rd Emission Standards stipulated by the MLIT.
Hydraulic excavator
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.
