Komatsu has introduced the PC220LC-12 excavator, a machine built for operators who demand more comfort, efficiency, and performance. Compared with the earlier PC210LC-11, this upgraded model gives operators a cab that is nearly 30 percent larger, offering more legroom and 50 percent better visibility. For anyone working long hours in tough job sites, that difference is easy to feel.
The PC220LC-12 weighs in at more than 53,000 pounds, with a maximum digging depth of almost 21 feet. Its 173-horsepower diesel engine is paired with a new electro-hydraulic system, delivering up to 20 percent greater fuel efficiency. Reduced maintenance costs are also a key highlight, with longer service intervals for hydraulic oil, filters, and particulate cleaning. For contractors, that means more uptime and lower operating expenses.
For tech-focused fleets, the PC220LCi-12 version adds Komatsu’s Intelligent Machine Control (IMC 3.0). This system provides 3D boundary control, allowing operators to set limits for depth, height, and working zones. The excavator automatically stops before crossing restricted areas, improving precision and safety.
Operator convenience is also a strong point. A new ID system can store up to 50 user profiles, instantly adjusting machine settings for each operator. Safety has been upgraded as well, thanks to the KomVision 360-degree camera with advanced alerts for people and obstacles around the machine.
Machines like the PC220LC-12 show how excavators continue to evolve, combining comfort, power, and smart technology. But even with these upgrades, undercarriage strength remains the foundation of performance. No matter how advanced the hydraulics or controls are, the excavator depends on a durable track system to handle heavy digging and rough terrain.
This is where FL-Part comes in. We specialize in providing complete undercarriage solutions for Komatsu and other leading brands. From track chains and rollers to idlers and sprockets, our products are built for long service life and reliable performance in demanding environments. Choosing the right undercarriage parts not only extends machine life but also ensures operators can make full use of the advanced features built into excavators like the PC220LC-12.
As more contractors invest in new-generation machines, reliable parts support becomes even more critical. At FL-Part, we are committed to supplying cost-effective, high-quality undercarriage solutions that help keep projects on schedule and equipment working at peak performance.
