Description
The PW160-11 is a wheeled excavator from Komatsu with an operating weight of 17,200 to 19,300 kg, built for contractors who need more stability and lifting capacity than the PW158-11 provides.
PW stands for Power Wheeled. 160 refers to the weight class. As a wheeled excavator it can travel independently on public roads without the need for a low-bed trailer, making it efficient for projects with multiple work locations in urban and suburban areas.
Where the PW158-11 is often chosen for utility work and lighter trenching, the PW160-11 is better suited when the project demands greater lifting capacity, more stability and increased reach. It is well suited to larger water and sewage projects, foundation work and more extensive road construction. At the same time it retains all the advantages of a wheeled excavator: fast movement between jobsites and efficient operation on asphalt and firm surfaces.
The 110 kW Stage V engine delivers solid power with low fuel consumption. The HydrauMind closed-centre load-sensing hydraulic system automatically adjusts output to match the load, providing precise control, smooth movement and stable lifting performance. KomVision is fitted as standard for all-round visibility on confined jobsites and along busy roads, and KOMTRAX telematics combined with the Komatsu CARE maintenance programme support low operating costs and high machine availability.
You can find the full range of Komatsu excavators at Hesselberg. Operating the PW160-11 requires a machine operator's licence, typically class M2. Hesselberg offers heavy equipment operator courses for certification and skills development.
