Features

• Tradition and Innovation
  The new compact mini-excavator is the product of the competence and the technology that KOMATSU has been acquiring for over the past eighty years. The project has been developed with a constant attention to the needs of customers from all over the world; the result is a user-friendly machine, which offers top class performance.
  
• Performance
  The new short tail PC18MR-2 supplies optimal power and digging speed in confined spaces: yards, road work, wherever traditional machines cannot work. Sturdiness and excellent stability ensure safety and confidence in any condition.
  
• Komatsu CLSS
  The CLSS (Closed Load Sensing System) hydraulic circuit guarantees power, speed and perfect control to all movements, including the combined ones. The main feature of this system is the connection between the variable displacement pump and the closed-centre circuit with load sensing, which allows operators to perform all movements with maximum efficiency, regardless of the load or the rpm. These characteristics are highlighted by the hydraulic servo-controls, which are by far the easiest to use and require minimum efforts to perform extremely precise manoeuvres.
  
• Versatility
  Many available configurations allow the operator to choose the right machine for the specific job: short or long arm, canopy or cab, rubber or steel shoes, extra counterweight. Moreover, the 1 / 2 way auxiliary hydraulic circuit consents to use multiple working tools, like the hammer, the clamshell bucket, the auger, etc.
  
• Comfort
  Despite its compact size, the PC18MR-2 offers a comfort which has no equals. Thanks to the wide operator space, excellent accessibility to the seat both for canopy and cab version, large floor free from obstacles, adjustable seat and ergonomic position of all the controls, the comfort of this new miniexcavator can be compared to the one of higher category.
  
• Maintenance
  All periodic inspection points are easily accessible through the bonnets. In addition, extra-ordinary maintenance can be performed by simply tilting the canopy upwards: under the floor, the operator can find all major hydraulic components, like the main valve or the swing motor. ORFS hydraulic face seal connectors and DT electric connectors improve the reliability of the machine and make repairs easier and faster. Special technical solutions have allowed to extend up to 500 hours the intervals for most ordinary maintenance operations, such as pin greasing or engine oil replacement. Also, to avoid possible leakage, all tanks are equipped with a draining hose: this confirms once again the attention KOMATSU pays to the environment.
