PC138US-10: A New Addition to the Komatsu Dash-10 Excavator Series

13 November 2013

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

The EPA Tier 4 Interim / EU Stage 3B emissions (S3B) certified machine is the newest addition to Komatsu’s Dash-10 excavator line up.
Designed with the customer in mind, the PC138US-10 has a net horsepower of 93.5 hp (69.7 kW), powered by a Komatsu SAA4D95LE-6 engine. Built upon its proven Stage IIIA engine platform, Komatsu has leveraged its leadership in technology and innovation to design a more environmentally-friendly engine that maintains the proven performance of the previous series while reducing daily costs and fuel consumption.
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.
The PC138US-10 is supported by Komatsu CARE, a complimentary maintenance program for Komatsu customers that comes as standard with every new Komatsu S3B construction machine. For the first three years or
2.000 hours it covers factory-scheduled maintenance, performed by Komatsu-trained technicians with Komatsu Genuine parts.

The latest KOMTRAX™ technology on the PC138US-10 sends machine operating information to a secure website utilizing wireless technology. Data such as operating hours, fuel consumption, location, cautions and maintenance alerts are relayed to the web application for analysis. The KOMTRAX™ fleet monitoring system increases machine availability, reduces the risk of machine theft, allows for remote diagnosis by the distributor, and provides a wealth of other information to drive business efficiency and productivity.
Special features of the new PC138US-10 include:
• EPA Tier 4 Interim / EU Stage 3B Emissions Certified Engine
• Versatile Performance
• Enhanced Operator Environment
• Convenient Maintenance and Serviceability
