Komatsu has launched its new Dash 12 excavators, setting a new standard for operator comfort and advanced working environments. The PC220LC-12 focuses on efficiency and productivity, while the PC220LCi-12 adds Komatsu’s IMC 3.0 intelligent machine control, combining automation and precision for every shift.
These 21-ton to 24-ton hydraulic excavators are perfect for residential and commercial contractors performing general earthwork, land clearing, or GPS-driven site development. The upgraded cab provides a 28% larger workspace, 30% more legroom, and 50% better visibility compared to the previous PC210LC-11 model. Operators benefit from ergonomic controls, an air-suspension seat, and personalized settings for up to 50 profiles through the new operator ID system.
Performance is also improved. A high-output engine and new electro-hydraulic system deliver up to 20% better fuel efficiency. Lifting capacity rises by 7%, and bucket digging force improves by 8%. Maintenance costs drop by 20%, thanks to extended intervals for hydraulic oil, oil filters, and particulate filter cleaning.
The PC220LCi-12 takes productivity further with factory-integrated 3D boundary control. Operators can set height, depth, front, back, and side limits, with the machine automatically stopping when approaching restricted zones. This feature enhances precision across complex sites, allowing multiple restriction zones to be stored for different work areas.
Safety and convenience are also priorities. Both models include KomVision 360 cameras, rollover avoidance alerts, people and object detection alerts, and other advanced safety systems. These features reduce fatigue, enhance awareness, and help operators perform efficiently with confidence.
