[. . . ] By reducing tail swing, the
PC138US-8 is perfect for work on road ways, bridges, in urban areas, or anywhere space is limited. The PC138US-8 Series provides the performance and productivity you expect from Komatsu equipment.
· Excellent operation in tight quarters with small tail swing radius design · Round profile provides short protrusion of front and rear portion of the upper structure. See pages 6 and 7.
Ecology and Economy Features Low Emission Engine
A powerful turbocharged and air-to-air aftercooled Komatsu SAA4D95LE-5 provides 68. 4 kW 91. 7 HP. This engine is EPA Tier 3 and EU Stage 3A emissions ready, without sacrificing power or machine productivity.
· Wider Working Ranges : Job sites that require a long upper reach, such as demolition and slope cutting also benefit from the increased digging and dumping ranges of the PC138US-8. [. . . ] To achieve both high levels of productivity and economical performance, Komatsu has developed the main components with a total control system. The result is a new generation of high performance and environment-friendly excavators.

OPERATION FEATURES
Safe Operation with Small Tail Swing Even in Confined Areas
Short Implement Swing Radius: 1980 mm 6'6" boom raising angle of the PC138US-8 is larger than a conventional profile excavator. digging reach 8300 mm 27'3"
Wider Working Ranges
Raising the boom on the PC138US-8 to a wider angle enhances overall working performance. Job sites that require a long upper reach, such as demolition and slope cutting, also benefit from the increased digging and dumping ranges of the PC138US-8.
Round Profile of both Front and Rear Portion of the Upper Structure
Komatsu hydraulic excavators with small tail swing radius design adopt the round profile for both left and right corners of the front portion of the upper structure as well as its rear portion that features less protrusion from the track at swing. The round profile design allows the machine to work in tight quarters.
Short Tail Swing Radius:
3460 mm 11'4"
1480 mm 4'10" The short tail swing radius of the PC138US-8 allows the machine to work in more confined areas than a conventional machine.

Roadwork
When performing roadwork, protrusion of the machine into the unoccupied lane is kept minimal since the rear portion of the upper structure protrudes slightly from the track at swing. This allows a dump truck to be positioned closer to the track of the machine. The operator is able to load materials efficiently onto the front of the dump body at ease since ample dumping reach is assured for the loading. Large working space is not required for the machine.
Logging and forest roadwork
Since the protrusion of the rear portion of the upper structure is kept minimal, there is less possibility of the counterweight hitting against a tree or a slope, allowing the operator to operate the machine at ease. The cab mount system absorbs shocks and aids vibration reduction to provide comfortable ride.
