Komatsu PC195 Medium excavators tech specs

Overview

The Komatsu PC195 (PC195LC-8) (2010–2026) is a 19.5-ton medium excavator aimed at contractors who need useful digging depth, strong hydraulic output, and manageable transport requirements. Its 97 kilowatt turbocharged Komatsu SAA4D107E-1 engine, 0.93 cubic meter bucket, 7.33 m digging depth, and 7.235 m reach make it suitable for foundations, trenching, utility installation, loading, road construction, and general site development.

Expert rating: 5 stars

Performance & Efficiency

The 97 kilowatt Komatsu SAA4D107E-1 turbocharged engine supports a hydraulic pump flow of 439 liters per minute at a relief pressure of 373 bar. Its 123 kN bucket digging force and 79.4 kN arm crowding force provide practical breakout performance for trenching, foundations, and compacted soil. The 178 kN drawbar pull and 35-degree gradeability support movement across uneven ground, while the 12 rpm swing speed helps maintain responsive excavation and loading cycles.

In Comparison

Kobelco SK200: A closely matched alternative in operating weight and general application, with a smaller bucket but similar suitability for routine construction work.
Kobelco SK380: A substantially heavier and higher-output excavator with greater bucket capacity and digging force, but it requires more transport capacity, working space, and fuel.
Komatsu PC195: Provides a manageable 19.5-ton platform with deep digging capability, 439-liter-per-minute hydraulic flow, and wide 800 mm tracks for general contracting work.

Final Verdict

Rated 5 stars, the Komatsu PC195 is a capable medium excavator within the AED 200,000–420,000 range. Its deep digging capability, strong hydraulic system, responsive swing speed, and manageable operating weight make it a practical choice for foundations, utilities, trenching, loading, and medium-scale site development.
