Komatsu PC490LC-11 specs, weight and dimensions:
The PC490LC-11 is powered by a 270 kW (362 HP) Stage V engine and has an operating weight of 46,500–48,900 kg depending on configuration and undercarriage. Maximum bucket capacity is 3.50 m³, and the machine is also available in a Heavy Duty configuration for the most demanding applications. For full dimensions and technical specifications, see the datasheet or the manufacturer's page for the PC490LC-11.
Compared to the Komatsu PC360LC-11, the Komatsu PC490LC-11 delivers significantly greater lifting capacity, larger bucket capacity and more power for extensive excavation and foundation work. It is well suited to large building projects, infrastructure work and demanding material handling where output per hour is critical. At the same time it remains a more flexible option than the Komatsu PC700LC-11 when a 70-tonne machine exceeds project requirements.
The HydrauMind closed-centre load-sensing hydraulic system delivers precise control and efficient power transfer under heavy load. KOMTRAX telematics and the Komatsu CARE maintenance programme support efficient fleet management and low operating costs.
