Additional lamps enhance night-time visibility, and the cabin mesh guard acts as an extra shield, protecting the operator from potential hazards. And with controls easily within reach, operating the PC81 feels almost second nature. The Komatsu PC81 comes equipped with the cutting-edge HydrauMind hydraulic system, a testament to Komatsu’s forward-thinking approach. This system, backed by nearly 200 patents, offers unparalleled control and precision. Whether you’re digging, lifting, or manoeuvring, the HydrauMind system adjusts seamlessly, ensuring optimal speed and power. The result? A machine that feels like an extension of the operator, making even the most complex tasks seem effortless. The product introduction aligns with Komatu’s two-line strategy to address different customer segments and applications.
