Komatsu New Year Newcomer From McHale Plant Sales

An important New Year newcomer from Komatsu distributor, McHale Plant Sales will be the latest Dash-11 generation PC130-11E0 mid-size excavator, being built specifically for the Irish and UK markets, and now available to order.

Arriving in April, the powerful and nimble 13-tonne conventional tail swing excavator – designed for ease of transport, fuel efficiency, and durability – is ideally suited to utility projects, small construction jobs, agricultural contractors and rental fleets and comes on the market as a partner unit to the already successful PC138US-11E0.

New for the PC130-11E0 is a long-life Komatsu Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF); HCU-A and HCU-C auxiliary hydraulic circuit options – allowing for the use of various attachments on the machine's arm and boom – and 700mm triple grouser or 500mm road liner track options.

Commenting ahead of its arrival – McHale Plant Sales' director, Denis McGrath said: "Robust, reliable and versatile, the new PC130-11E0 will likely appeal to owner-operators or rental businesses working on projects that require maneuverability and transportability between job sites."

Sturdy in build, smooth to operate, and powered by a Stage V compliant engine, the PC130-11E0 arrives with operator comfort in mind, featuring a large cab with plenty of amenities that include automatic air conditioning, a 7-inch high-resolution LCD monitor, KomVision camera system, Komtrax satellite monitoring and DAB radio.
