Komatsu Europe has unveiled the lastest Dash-10 short tail swing hydraulic excavator in its line up at Bauma.

With an operating weight range of 13,400 – 14,467 kg, the PC138US-10’s short tail swing radius makes it well-suited to confined work areas such as one lane of traffic or urban environments.

The EPA Tier 4 Interim/EU Stage 3B emissions (S3B) machine has a net horsepower of 93.5 hp (69.7 kW), powered by a Komatsu SAA4D95LE-6 engine.

The PC138US-10 features improved hydraulic efficiency, improved operator comfort, and simplified maintenance, yet retains the versatility and performance of the previous model.

Lift capacity and stability are comparable to a conventional excavator, but uses a contoured cab design that allows the cab to swing within the same swing radius as the counterweight.
