Komatsu PC360‑8M0 Hydraulic Excavator – Product Introduction

The Komatsu PC360‑8M0 is a 36‑ton heavy‑duty hydraulic excavator built for high productivity, durability, fuel efficiency, and reliability in mining, quarrying, large infrastructure, and heavy earthmoving projects. It is the upgraded successor to the PC360‑7, inheriting its proven performance while delivering higher efficiency, lower fuel consumption, and longer service life.

Key Advantages Over Previous Model (PC360‑7)

• +7kW higher power (187kW vs 180kW) for stronger digging and faster cycles
• +550kg operating weight (33,550kg vs 33,000kg) for better stability
• Up to -10% lower fuel consumption via optimized engine‑hydraulic matching
• Reinforced structural components (boom, stick, bucket) for 15,000+ hour design life
• Improved filtration system (large visual water‑oil separator) for better engine protection
• Enhanced operator comfort (lower noise, better vibration damping)
• Multiple work modes for precise matching to different job conditions

Key Features & Technology Updates

• Komatsu SAA6D114E‑3 engine (187kW / 254PS @ 1,950rpm) – Tier 3 / China III compliant, electronic common‑rail injection
• CLSS closed‑center load‑sensing hydraulic system with pressure compensation for smooth, precise operation
• DOMCS dynamic optimization control for perfect engine‑pump matching and minimal energy loss
• Heavy‑duty reinforced boom/stick/bucket with forged supports for harsh mining/quarry use
• ROPS/FOPS certified cab with low noise (≤72dB), new shock absorbers, and full auto AC
• Ground‑level service access and centralized grease points for easy maintenance
