You can select Power or Economy modes using a one-touch operation on the monitor panel depending on workloads.
Low Operation Noise
Enables a low noise operation using the low-noise engine and methods to cut noise at source.
Dynamic noise Low Fuel Consumption
The newly-developed Komatsu SAA6D107E-1 [ecot3] engine enables NOx emissions to be significantly reduced with the accurate multi-staged fuel injection by the engine controller. [. . . ] Highly durable antislip plates maintain superior traction performance for the long term.
Rear View Monitoring System (optional)
The operator can view the rear of the machine with a color monitor screen.
Low Vibration with Cab Damper Mounting
PC270-8 uses viscous damper mounting for cab that incorporates longer stroke and the addition of a spring. The new cab damper mounting combined with high rigidity deck aids vibration reduction at operator seat.
Anti-slip Plates
Monitor for rear view camera
Thermal and Fan Guards
Thermal and fan guards are placed around hightemperature parts of the engine and fan drive.
Rubber Spring Silicon Oil
Pressurized Cab
Optional air conditioner, air filter and a higher internal air pressure (+6. 0 mm Aq +0. 2"Aq) prevent external dust from entering the cab.
Pump/engine Room Partition
Pump/engine room partition prevents oil from spraying onto the engine if a hydraulic hose should burst.
