Buy a komatsu

Komatsu have recently released their exceptional PW98MR-11 tight-tail excavator which bridged the gap between compact and construction-sized machines. Designed for a wide variety of construction, utility and landscaping projects, the PW98MR-11 sums up superbly why you need to buy a Komatsu!

Alex Visentin, Komatsu Europe Product Manager for Compact Wheeled Excavators, stated that the PW98MR-11 design is the perfect match between size and performance efficiency that Komatsu designers were aiming for. 

TOTAL VERSATILITY

The Komatsu PW98MR-11 has three steering modes which are enabled by its four-wheeled steering. Manufacturers boast a 10% increase in versatility with this model compared to its predecessor, the Komatsu PW98MR-10.

It can deliver optimal power and digging speed even in confined spaces due to its short-tail design. The PW98MR-11 is ideal for projects in which traditional machines cannot work, including alleyways, road words and sewers. 

This machine has been designed with versatility in mind. Not only are there plenty of different optional Komatsu attachments which grant further versatility, but the travel direction, undercarriage attachment and manual axle lock can be controlled by switches on the joysticks or the dashboard. Operators can even switch the machine’s function from boom operation to undercarriage control without removing their hand from the right joystick – which controls the machine.

POWERFUL & ECO-FRIENDLY

The EU stage V engine is environmentally friendly without the need of a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system.

It is also integrated with a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) which makes the PW98MR-11 exceptionally low in it’s fuel consumption. Depending on the load, operators can choose between six working modes. These are designed to match engine speed, pump delivery and system pressure. 

Wheeled excavators are built to move quickly on and between sites. The Komatsu PW98MR-11 features an improved drivetrain which increased its travel and uphill driving speeds. 

Along with its brilliant compact size, this machine featured an unmatched lifting performance. Its combination of power, convenience and complete control make it the perfect first choice for heavy-duty lifting tasks.

Likewise, its swing boom design allows operators to dig parallel to buildings or barriers. While the protected two-piece boom cylinder grants safer truck loading operation. The standard 100% differential lock on both axles provides direct traction – making it great for when working on slippery or uneven terrain.

WORK IN COMFORT

It’s not just the machine’s fantastic specs that make this a perfect addition to any construction fleet. It’s also super comfy when operating! The cab is spacious, and fitted with a heated, high-back seat which comes with fully adjustable armrests. 

Controls are fitted on the joystick as standard to ensure safe and precise operations. All operators are able to connect their Bluetooth devices to the machine’s high resolution 7-inch LCD colour display. This is also where you can make your attachment changes!

SAFETY & MAINTENANCE

We know how important it is to ensure all plant is fit and safe before every use. Keeping on top of a machine’s maintenance is an easy way to ensure the safety of those using the machine. Performing regular safety checks is also the first, and easiest, way of spotting any hazards.

Komatsu have ensured operators can easily access all service points within the PW98MR-11, including large doors and the engine hood. All of the machine’s required service intervals are longer, which keeps machine downtime to a minimum. 

The radiator, aftercooler and oil cooler have all been designed using aluminum. This will improve their efficiency. These are also installed in parallel so they can be cleaned easily and quickly. 

In addition to this, the internal LCD monitor will display any abnormalities detected within the machine, as well as providing useful information regarding part replacement times. Fitted inside, there’s also an emergency engine stop switch and a seat belt caution indicator, both of which add to the overall safety of the machine.
