PC228USLC-2 Hydraulic Excavators
Working in congested or confined areas can be a challenge. Komatsu’s PC228USLC-2Series Hydraulic Excavators have a short tailswing profile, designed specifically for work in confined areas.
By reducing tail swing, the PC228USLC-2 can work in areas where
conventional profile excavators would pose a safety risk. Perfect for
work on roadways, bridge work, urban areas, or anywhere space
is limited, the PC228USLC-2 provides you with performance and
productivity you expect from Komatsu equipment.
Comfortable cab● Komatsu’s low noise
design cab uses viscous cab mounting for reduced noise.
● Sliding convex doorfacilitates easy entrance in confined areas and reduces the danger of being damaged onroadways because the door does not protrude when open.
Wide working rangesMaximum digging height of the PC228USLC-2 is larger than that of thePC200LC-6. Raising the boom on thePC228USLC-2 to a wider angle enhancesoverall working performance. Job sitesthat require a long upper reach, such asdemolition and slope cutting also benefitfrom the increased digging and dumpingranges of the PC228USLC-2.
High mobilityLarge drawbar pull and steering force display its ability when operating on a slope.

Small road occupied widthKomatsu’s PC228USLC-2 Series occupies a road width of 4.1 m 13'5" or less. Thisallows the machine to work on either side of the lane without having to close both sides of the road.
Safe operationThe PC228USLC-2’s round form reduces theoperator’s need to constantly check behind himfor movement, as he would with a conventionalprofile machine.
High stabilityThe PC228USLC-2 offers exceptional lifting capacity and high stability with a large counterweight that requires no additional clearance.

Excellent ProductivityEngine
The PC228USLC-2 gets its exceptional power and work capacity from the
Komatsu S6D102E-1 engine. Output is 99 kW 128 HP, giving you increased
hydraulic power while improving fuel efficiency. The engine meets emissions
regulations, including CARB, EPA, EC, and noise levels have been reduced
for greater operator comfort.
Wider Working Ranges
Raising the boom on the PC228USLC-2 to a wider angle enhances
overall working performance.
Large Digging Force
The PC228USLC-2 has a large bucket digging force and arm
crowd force, facilitating digging hard rock-bed. Digging force
rating ISO and at Power Maximum function:

Operator’s CabMulti-Position Controls
The multi-position, pressure
proportional control levers allow
the operator to work in comfort
while maintaining precise control.
A double-slide mechanism allows
the seat and controllers to move
together or independently, allowing
the operator to position the con-
trollers for maximum productivity
and comfort.
Cab Mount
The cab rests on viscous damping
mounts to reduce vibration and noise
from the machine body. Operator
fatigue is reduced.
Noise
Komatsu’s low noise design
uses viscous cab mounts for
reduced noise.
Sliding Convex Door
The sliding convex door facilitates
easy entrance in confined areas
and reduces the danger of being
damaged on roadways because the
door does not protrude when open.
Washable Floor
The PC228USLC-2’s floor is easy to keep clean.
The gently inclined surface has a flanged floormat
and drainage holes to facilitate runoff.
The PC228USLC-2 cab interior is spacious and provides a comfortable working environment…

Easy MaintenanceKomatsu designed the PC228USLC-2 to have easy service access. By doing
so, routine maintenance and servicing are less likely to be skipped, which
can mean a reduction in costly downtime later on. Here are some of the
many service features found on the PC228USLC-2.
Optimum Maintenance Layout
When the engine hood is opened, it is possible to access
engine-related maintenance items such as oil filter, oil dipstick,
coolant reserve tank, fuel filter, and air cleaner.
New Hybrid Filter Element
The new hybrid filter in the hydraulic circuit extends the
element replacement interval to 500 hours and the hydraulic
oil replacement interval to 5,000 hours.
● High-performance glass-type filter is employed for 25% of the total filter area.
● Pore gradient-type paper media is used.
● The filter area is larger and has a longer life than conventional paper filtersbecause it collects dust three-dimensionally.
Large Tool Box
Large tool box provides plenty
of space. Grease pump storage
space is also provided.
