KOMATSU CONTINUES TO SET NEW STANDARDS FOR FUEL EFFICIENCY AND PRODUCTIVITY WITH THE NEW PC950-11.
-
Komatsu is changing the game in large-scale earthmoving with its new PC950-11 hydraulic excavator, now rolling out across Australia and New Zealand. Built for the toughest mining and quarrying conditions, the machine combines raw power with smarter efficiency and enhanced safety, giving operators an edge in even the most demanding environments.
At a time when operators are under pressure to cut emissions, manage fuel costs and improve productivity, Komatsu’s latest release offers a compelling combination: up to 48 per cent greater productivity while consuming up to 40 per cent less fuel than its predecessor, the PC850-8E0.
Komatsu Australia national business manager for construction excavators Mark Boyes said the PC950-11 has been built from the ground up to meet operator feedback.
“Our development teams took this customer feedback on board and delivered more power, increased dig forces, greater drawbar pull, superior durability, easy safe access and surround visibility systems, all while maintaining ultra-low fuel consumption,” he said.
“It’s designed to handle Australia and New Zealand's toughest conditions, while helping our customers run more efficient, sustainable operations, whether that be on mine sites or in quarry operations.”
