Detailed Introduction to Komatsu PC240LC-8 Excavator

The Komatsu PC240LC-8 is a 24-ton class mid-size crawler excavator developed by global leading construction equipment manufacturer Komatsu Limited, as the core model of its high-reliability, fuel-saving 8-series excavator lineup. The "LC" suffix refers to its extended wide crawler chassis, which guarantees excellent stability under heavy-load working conditions. It balances strong performance, low operating cost and user-friendliness, and is one of the most popular models in its weight class for global construction projects.

1. Basic Specifications

Parameter	Specific Value
Operating weight	24,100 – 24,800 kg
Standard bucket capacity	0.8 – 1.2 m³
Transport length	9,900 mm
Transport width	2,990 mm
Transport height	3,190 mm
Fuel tank capacity	400 L
Hydraulic oil tank capacity	135 L

2. Power & Emission System

It is equipped with a self-developed Komatsu SAA6D107E-1 power unit:

6-cylinder, 4-stroke, water-cooled, turbocharged and intercooled diesel engine, meets EU Stage IIIA and US EPA Tier 3 emission standards
Rated net power: 134 kW (180 HP) at 2,000 rpm, maximum torque of 680 N·m at 1,500 rpm
Adopts electronic high-pressure common rail fuel injection technology and cooled EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) system to reduce fuel consumption and emission
Supports 3 working modes (Power/ Economy/ Lifting) to match different operation demands, plus automatic idle reduction function, cutting comprehensive fuel consumption by 10% compared to the previous PC240-7 model. Actual comprehensive working fuel consumption is only 18-22 L/h, 5-10% lower than peer competitors.

3. Hydraulic System

It adopts Komatsu's proprietary Closed-center Load Sensing System (CLSS), which supplies oil on demand to minimize energy waste:

Dual variable piston pumps with maximum total flow of 432 L/min, system working pressure of 34.3 MPa
Advanced valve control technology ensures smooth compound movements (simultaneous digging, swinging and lifting operations) without lag or jitter
Swing system maximum torque: 5,650 N·m, swing speed: 11.3 rpm
Travel speed: 3.1 km/h (low gear) / 5.5 km/h (high gear), maximum traction of 227 kN, climbing ability of 35° (70%)

4. Working Performance & Structural Durability

Standard configuration: 5.85 m boom, 2.95 m stick, main operation parameters:Maximum digging depth: 6,920 mm; Maximum digging radius: 10,120 mm; Maximum digging height: 9,780 mm; Maximum dumping height: 6,890 mm
Boom, stick and X-type integrated chassis are welded with high-strength low-alloy steel, after 10,000-hour anti-fatigue test, suitable for harsh heavy-load working conditions
Sealed and lubricated track rollers, idlers and carrier rollers extend chassis service life by more than 30% under abrasive working conditions
Compatible with multiple attachments: hydraulic breaker, grapple, ripper, hydraulic shear, etc., to adapt to demolition, material handling, rock breaking and other diversified scenarios.

5. Operator Cab & Comfort

The cab is ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure) and FOPS (Falling Object Protective Structure) certified to ensure operator safety:

Pneumatic suspension adjustable seat with lumbar support, reduces vibration by 40% compared to ordinary seats
Low-effort pilot control joysticks, reduce long-time operation fatigue
Fully automatic climate control system with multi-directional air outlets, internal noise controlled below 75 dB(A)
High-definition LCD monitor displays real-time working parameters, fault alarms and fuel consumption statistics, supports multi-language switching
Large-area panoramic glass window, small blind area, equipped with wipers with wide coverage and optional rear view camera.

6. Maintenance & Operation Cost

All daily maintenance points (air filter, fuel filter, oil filter, hydraulic oil drain port) are designed for ground-level access, no need to climb the upper structure for routine maintenance
Hydraulic oil replacement interval reaches 5,000 hours, engine oil replacement interval is 500 hours, long-life filter reduces maintenance frequency
Equipped with Komatsu's exclusive KOMTRAX remote monitoring system, supports real-time equipment positioning, working hour statistics, fault warning and maintenance reminder, helping fleet managers reduce downtime by 20% on average.
Low failure rate and high market recognition give it a 15-20% higher residual value than similar products after 3 years of use.

7. Typical Application Scenarios

The PC240LC-8 is widely used in earthwork construction, municipal road building, medium-sized mine stripping, landscaping, housing demolition and port material handling projects. Its moderate size and flexible maneuverability make it suitable for both narrow urban construction sites and open heavy-load working sites.
