Komatsu will showcase its next-generation equipment, digital technologies and service solutions at ConExpo.
Komatsu’s exhibit, located in booth W41945 (West Hall), will feature what the OEM says is one of the company’s strongest lineups of new equipment in years, including several machines that will be unveiled to the North American market for the first time.
Komatsu’s new PC220LCi-12 excavator and PC365LC-11 multifunction plus excavator, both designed for enhanced operator comfort, will showcase the company’s commitment to integrating advanced technology with practical machine design to help support more efficient and productive jobsite operations. An additional new excavator will also be unveiled.
Models including the WA485-11 and WA475-11 will demonstrate how the proprietary Komatsu Hydraulic Mechanical Transmission, enhanced cab design and embedded technology can help boost cycle times, reduce fuel consumption and promote operator awareness.
Two next-generation dozers will be showcased with new advanced steering systems and operator-focused cabs. New technology within these dozers is designed to help operators of varying experience levels achieve consistent results while supporting efficiency and productivity on the jobsite.
Komatsu will highlight the HD605-10 with enhanced performance and Smart Quarry integrations, along with Smart Quarry Autonomous, a solution that enables autonomous operation, available for both new quarry trucks and as retrofits to existing trucks. An all-new articulated truck at the higher end of the industry payload range with innovative traction control engineering will also be unveiled.
Komatsu will highlight how its integrated approach supports owners and fleet managers at every stage – from selecting the right equipment to training, managing fleets, analysing performance and planning future work. The company’s goal is to make hard work easier, provide actionable insights, and help companies sustainably and profitably reach their goals. This includes the evolution of autonomous operation, software-defined vehicles, and AI technologies throughout the product line as initiated with recent partnerships and developments that will drive innovation throughout the entire product line.
“Owners and fleet managers want equipment and technology that work together to create value across the entire enterprise, not independently as one-off solutions,” says Rod Bull, CEO, Komatsu North America. “Connected performance is our commitment to deliver machines, data and services that help make better decisions, improve daily productivity and build long-term value in their operations.”
Komatsu will also feature expanded capabilities within My Komatsu, the company’s central enterprise platform. Visitors can explore personalised digital experiences and learn how the platform connects fleet information, planning tools and support resources in one interface that can continuously grow to leverage AI and data analysis, shorten business decision cycles and improve fleet performance. Smart Construction digital solutions will be demonstrated through hands-on displays and live demos showing how the suite of software and hardware tools can help track and plan work, dig precisely to plan and streamline communications – including new products such as Smart Construction Dashboard mobile.
