Komatsu Europe has unveiled the PW168-11 and PW198-11 wheeled excavators. The pair expand the range of the successful short-tail wheeled excavators in the 16-20-tonne operating weight class.

Compact and easy to transport, powerful, comfortable, versatile, reliable and durable, the PW168-11 and PW198-11 respond to the most frequently expressed customer requests.

You can quickly transport your new Komatsu wheeled excavators to the next construction site without needing a special low-bed trailer and work with them in narrow, limited space. With a low transportation height of just 3.1m, transport on standard low-bed trailers with a loading height of up to 4m is possible. The short rear overhang of 1.85m (PW168-11) or 1.9m (PW198-11) is ideal for narrow construction sites.

Equipped with four-cylinder Komatsu diesel engines (110kW or 129kW), the new short-tail wheeled excavators dig, lift and pull away almost anything on your job site. These engines meet the current EU Stage V emissions standards and are factory-supplied with environmentally friendly HVO Diesel fuel as standard. The unique machine design with an optimised boom and rear engine enables enormous lifting performance to move heavy loads easily.

To meet these challenges, the US company Vacuworx has developed the HL Series Hydraulic Barrier Lifters. Vacuworx describes the lifters as “a smarter way to handle concrete barriers”.
