When space is limited, having the right excavator can make all the difference. The Komatsu PC138US-11E0 Short Tail Excavator combines the digging and lifting performance of a conventional excavator with a compact short-tail design for the Northern Ireland market, making it particularly well suited to urban construction, roadworks and projects where working space is restricted.
The PC138US-11E0 is designed around a short-tail configuration, with a tail swing radius of approximately 1.48m. Its rounded upper structure allows the machine to work close to obstacles and in restricted areas while reducing the risk of the rear of the machine striking surrounding objects.
This makes it an excellent choice for applications such as:
