Komatsu America Corp. announced the introduction of the PC228USLC-8 hydraulic excavator. Komatsu's latest tight tail series builds on the proven reputation of its previous model with hydraulic system enhancements, improved operator control and comfort, increased lift capacity and stability, and lower fuel consumption. The PC228USLC-8, with an operating weight of 53,195 to 54,405 pounds, is powered by a Komatsu SAA6D107E-1 engine.
