Komatsu PC290LC Medium Excavator

The Komatsu PC290LC sits comfortably in the 29-32 tonne class, and is the perfect choice for any contractor looking for a reliable excavator to get the job done in civil construction, trenching and general earth moving. Its design, built around a conventional tail-swing layout, provides a sturdy base that’s perfect for larger scale projects where you need power and precision.

Under the hood, a trusty six-cylinder diesel engine from Komatsu kicks out 147 kW (196 hp) of raw power, giving you the torque and responsiveness you need while still meeting modern emission standards. You also get sensibly refined control through a closed-centre load-sensing hydraulic system that looks after the boom, arm and bucket functions so you can keep on digging without breaking a sweat.

Weighing in at a comfortable 32,000-32,700 kg, the PC290LC offers a maximum digging depth of 7.1 metres and a reach of around 10.4 metres – perfect for accessing tight spots and hauling heavy loads. Plus, you can choose from a range of bucket sizes from 0.58 to 1.63 m³ to suit the task at hand.

Inside the operators cab, you’ll find plenty of room to stretch out in the spacious, quiet environment – complete with all the ergonomic features you need, like joystick controls, an air suspension seat, and visibility that lets you keep an eye on the job at hand to boot.

Maintenance is easy too, which means you can keep the Komatsu PC290LC up and running without breaking the bank. It’s a solid choice for hire fleets and contractors working on demanding sites across civil works, trenching, utilities and earthmoving applications.

All in all, the Komatsu PC290LC offers a rock-solid balance of full-sized excavator strength, precision hydraulics and durable build quality – making it a no-brainer choice for anyone working on medium to large scale projects.
