The PC210LCi-11 weighs between 51,397 and 53,3882 pounds and is designed for precise digging as called for on such tasks as footings, retention ponds and utility work, the company says. The mid-sized excavator runs on a 165-horsepower Komatsu engine and has bucket capacities of .66 to 1.57 cubic yards.

The factory-integrated iMC 2.0 system prevents over-digging and keeps operators on grade. Komatsu bills it as a way 鈥渢o quickly lessen the skill gap between new and experienced operators.鈥� The company says it also increases productivity. The 3D GNSS machine guidance and sensor technology automatically controls the bucket鈥檚 angle to the design surface. This allows operators to perform finish grading by only controlling the excavator鈥檚 arm, while the boom automatically adjusts bucket height.

An auto-tilt bucket control automatically aligns the bucket parallel to the slope, which means the operator doesn鈥檛 have to align the excavator with the target surface. The system is controlled by a 12-inch touchscreen display. The sensors and stroke-sensing hydraulic cylinders provide real-time position display.
