Improved lateral stability is achieved by increasing the
counterweight (
330kg
730lb) and improving the balance of
the machine body.

Large Lifting Capacity
PC450-7’s improved lateral stability increases lifting capacity.
Variable Track Gauge (optional)
●
Lateral stability is significantly improved when
operating with the gauge extended.
●
Lateral stability is increased by 30% (compared with
the fixed gauge of the current model).
●
Complies with transportation regulations by retracting
the gauge.

High production and low fuel consumption are
achieved through the following two operation
modes:
Active mode, with maximum engine output to handle large
production, while keeping fuel consumption low; and Eco
mode for light duty applications, which enables operation
at a speed comparable to Active mode with even lower fuel
consumption. The two modes, Active mode for handling
“large production” and Eco mode for “low fuel consumption”
have been significantly improved.
ACTIVE MODE
This mode handles large production by providing powerful
and speedy operation, and achieves economical efficiency by
substantial reduction of fuel consumption.
ECONOMY MODE
Operation speed equal to that of the Active mode can be
achieved when handling light duty operation while also
keeping fuel consumption low.
Electronically Controlled High Power Engine Installed
A 246kW (330HP) Komatsu SAA6D125E engine, is the
largest in its class.
High power and low fuel consumption are achieved by
optimizing fuel injection via electronic control.
Maximum Digging Force among the 40-ton Class
With the addition of a one-touch power max. function
(operation time of 8.5 seconds), the digging force has been
further increased.
Maximum arm crowd force (ISO):
217 kN (22.1t)
233 kN (23.8t)
Maximum bucket digging force (ISO):
253 kN (25.8t)
278 kN (28.3t)

Stability
Smooth Loading Operation
Two return hoses improve hydraulic
performance. In the arm out
function, a portion of the oil is
efficiently returned to the tank .
Boom floats upward, reducing
lifting of machine front. This
facilitates gathering blasted
rock and scraping down
operations.
Boom pushing force is
increased, ditch digging and
box digging operation on hard
ground are improved.
