RODUCTIVITY &
Komatsu Technology
Komatsu develops and produces all major
components, such as engines, electronics
and hydraulic components, in house.
With this "Komatsu Technology," and adding
customer feedback, Komatsu is achieving
great advancements in technology.
To achieve both high levels of productivity and
economical performance, Komatsu has
developed the main components with a total
control system. The result is a new generation
of high performance and environment friendly
excavators.
High Power Komatsu SAA6D170E Engine
Powerful turbocharged and air-to-air aftercooled Komatsu
SAA6D170E-5 engine provides 502 kW 672 HP.
This Komatsu SAA6D170E engine actualizes high-power to
low fuel consumption with the optimum fuel injection by
electronic heavy duty HPCR (High Pressure Common Rail)
fuel injection system.

Electronically Controlled Variable Speed Fan
Contributes to Low Fuel Consumption and Low
Noise
The electronic control system sets
the rotational speed of the cooling
fan according to the coolant and
hydraulic oil temperature; effectively
uses the engine output to prevent
wasteful fuel consumption; and
reduces noise during low-speed fan
rotation.
Lower and Economical Fuel Consumption Using
Economy Mode
Enables operator to set the Eco
mode to up to four levels
according to working conditions
so that production requirement is
achieved at lowest possible fuel
consumption.
Reduction of Ambient Noise
Reduced noise by adoption of an electronically controlled
variable speed fan drive, large hybrid fan, low-noise muffler.
HYDRAULIC EXCAVATOR
Large Digging Force
Thanks to the high engine output and an excellent hydraulic
system, this machine demonstrates powerful digging force.
Maximum arm crowd force (ISO):
412 kN 42.0 ton
Maximum bucket digging force (ISO):
479 kN 48.8 ton
Large Drawbar Pull and Steering Force
Since the machine has a large drawbar pull and a high
steering force, it demonstrates excellent mobility even when
it is being used on inclined sites.
Two-mode Setting for Boom
Smooth mode provides easy operation for gathering blasted
rock and scraping operations. When maximum digging force is
needed, switch to power mode for more effective excavating.

Shockless Boom Control
The PC1250-8R boom circuit features a shockless valve
(double-check slow return valve) to automatically reduces
the amount of vibration present when operating the boom.
Operator fatigue is reduced (which can improve safety and
productivity), and spillage caused by vibration is minimized.

Working Mode Selection

Power and Economy Mode
The PC1250-8R excavator is equipped with two working
modes. Each mode is designed to match engine speed,
pump flow, and system pressure to the current application,
giving the operator flexibility to match equipment performance
to the job at hand.

Heavy Lift Mode
Gives the operator 10% more lifting force on the boom when
needed for handling rock or heavy lifting applications.
Swing Priority Setting
The swing priority setting allows the operator to use the same
easy motion for 180˚ loading as 90˚ loading operations. By
altering the oil flow, this setting allows you to
select either boom or swing
as the priority for
increased production.
