Description
The PC228USLC-11 is a crawler excavator from Komatsu with an operating weight of 24,350 to 27,925 kg, combining capacity with good manoeuvrability on space-constrained jobsites.
PC stands for Power Crawler. 228 refers to the weight class. US stands for Ultra Short, meaning the tail swing radius is near zero, and LC means Long Carriage, describing a longer undercarriage for increased stability. This combination gives a good balance between capacity and control on jobsites where space behind the machine is still limited.
Compared to the PC138US, the PC228USLC delivers significantly greater lifting capacity, longer reach and better stability for heavier work. It is well suited to larger excavation pits, deep foundation work and more extensive earthmoving, while remaining far more flexible in confined areas than machines in the 30, 50 or 70-tonne class. KomVision is fitted as standard, providing the operator with a real-time bird's-eye view of the machine's immediate surroundings.
You can find the full range of Komatsu excavators at Hesselberg. Operating the PC228USLC-11 requires a machine operator's licence, typically class M2. Hesselberg offers heavy equipment operator courses for certification and skills development.
