The PC1250LC-11 operating weights vary between 269,300 lbs. (122,409 kg) and 275,240 lbs. (125,109 kg).
Komatsu America Corp. has introduced the PC1250SP-11 and PC1250LC-11 Tier IV final emissions certified hydraulic excavators. These new EPA Tier IV Final (T4F) certified models have SAA6D170E-7 engines with two Komatsu diesel particulate filters (KDPF) that do not require diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) or a selective catalyst reduction (SCR) system.
The new PC1250SP-11 and PC1250LC-11 feature increased power, improved production and a new single "Power +" operating mode that does not compromise fuel consumption. Additionally, both excavators provide improved operator comfort levels, while upholding the strong reputation the previous models earned in the North American market place.
"The PC1250 offers exceptional customer value across a broad range of applications, including sewer and water, general construction, mass excavation, as well as mining, quarry, sand and gravel," said Kurt Moncini, senior product manager, tracked equipment, Komatsu America.
