Description
The Komatsu PW180-11 is a wheeled excavator from Komatsu in the 18–20-tonne class, built for contractors who need more capacity and stability than the smaller models in the series.
PW stands for Power Wheeled. 180 refers to the model's position in the 18-tonne segment. 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. With an operating weight approaching 20 tonnes depending on configuration, the PW180-11 represents a clear step up in capacity compared to the Komatsu PW160-11 and Komatsu PW168-11, while retaining all the advantages of a wheeled excavator for road travel between jobsites.
Komatsu PW180-11 specs, weight and dimensions:
The PW180-11 is powered by a 123 kW (165 HP) Stage V engine and has an operating weight of 17,600–20,600 kg depending on configuration and undercarriage. For full dimensions and technical specifications, see the datasheet or the manufacturer's page for the PW180-11.
The Komatsu PW180 is built to handle larger water and sewage projects, foundation work, road construction and general material handling where stability and lifting performance matter. The engine and hydraulic system deliver both power and precision, allowing the machine to handle larger buckets and heavier attachments without losing control.
The HydrauMind closed-centre load-sensing hydraulic system adjusts output to match the load in real time, providing smooth control and efficient power transfer. The spacious cab is well insulated and equipped with effective heating and air conditioning for comfortable operation year round. KomVision provides all-round visibility on confined and busy jobsites, and KOMTRAX telematics combined with the Komatsu CARE maintenance programme keep operating costs and downtime low.
