PW98MR-6 midi excavator delivers maximum productivity
19/09/2006

Applying the design concept which has proven so successful in crawler midi excavators, Komatsu has launched the first tight tail wheeled midi excavator on the European market: the PW98MR-6. Its 2-piece boom is a completely new design, and is operated by a single cylinder. Extremely manoeuvrable, the excavator is ideal for tight spaces, bringing the benefits of outstanding productivity and superb operator comfort to any site.

This PW98MR-6’s unique tight tail design, the first of its kind on the market, allows it to work in the most restricted areas in total safety, with no danger of rear collisions. Its state-of-the-art CLSS hydraulic system ensures optimal performance and control, even in combined operations, making this machine superbly productive and easy to operate. Four-wheel steering and three steering modes guarantee exceptional manoeuvrability. The hydrostatic transmission enables a top speed of 30 km/h, allowing quick transferring and avoiding the need for carrier trucks.

Komatsu has paid particular attention to operator requirements. So the PW98MR-6 comes with a very spacious, low-noise cab with every possible comfort, from a sliding door and suspended seat to air conditioning and an optional radio. In addition, customers can choose between one of three arm lengths, and select single or twin tires, blade and outriggers and additional counterweights, ensuring the machine meets their requirements exactly.

For easy maintenance, the bonnets provide quick access to all parts requiring regular inspection, even in confined spaces.
