Komatsu PC220LCi-12

This crawler excavator is built for guided excavation work

This crawler excavator is designed for earthmoving where precision, control and documented output matter in daily work. The machine combines conventional digging capacity with integrated 3D machine control and semi automatic support. That setup is relevant for contractors working with grading, trenching, drainage, utility work and structured excavation.

The operating weight is 24,500 kg. Machine length is 9,705 mm, width is 3,280 mm and construction height is 3,165 mm. These dimensions place the machine in a class suited to medium and larger site work. The mono boom supports general excavation tasks where direct breakout force and stable movement are important.

The machine control system supports repeatable digging accuracy

The integrated 3DMC machine control system gives the operator a direct basis for following design levels during excavation. Semi automatic digging support helps maintain grade and reduce manual correction during repeated passes. A 3D virtual wall function for height and digging stop adds a defined control point during work near limits.

For contractors managing production targets, this type of system supports more consistent results across operators and changing site conditions. It is relevant where cut and fill control affects cycle time, rework and hand finishing. The extended payload meter also adds useful information for load handling and site follow up.

The hydraulic setup supports attachment use and varied site tasks

The hydraulic configuration includes high flow, low flow and hydraulics for a quick coupler. This gives a practical base for changing between buckets and other hydraulic tools as work shifts during the day. Pressure keeping valves on both boom and stick support controlled movement during lifting and digging tasks.

Float function on the boom adds another useful feature for grading and surface related work. Together, these functions make the excavator relevant for contractors who need one machine to handle excavation, trimming, loading and attachment based operations without changing platform.

The operator station is arranged for long working days

The cab includes adjustable armrests, a Komatsu L8 joystick and integrated track control in the joystick layout. Climate control supports stable working conditions through the day. The deluxe air seat includes heating, ventilation and longitudinal damping.

An 8 inch touch monitor provides access to machine functions and operating information. A DAB+ radio with Bluetooth is included. The cab also has a roof sun visor and a large parallel windscreen wiper. These details matter when the machine works through long shifts with changing visibility and weather.

Visibility and machine data support site control

The KomVision camera system provides a 360 degree view around the machine. LED work lights are fitted on the roof, boom, boom foot, upper structure and counterweight. A rotating LED beacon and back up alarm add further site awareness during travel and repositioning.

Komtrax monitoring supports fleet follow up and machine data access. The engine is a Komatsu SAA4D107E 5 Stage V unit with DPF and SCR with AdBlue. Automatic idle and adjustable auto stop support fuel management during idle periods. A diesel filling pump with auto stop is also included, which helps daily refuelling on site.

For buyers assessing a crawler excavator for controlled excavation, this machine offers a clear combination of digging capacity, machine guidance, hydraulic flexibility and operator support. The stated weight, dimensions and onboard systems provide a factual basis for matching the machine to planned site requirements.
