JCB 345 LC HD
Pros
- Reinforced boom and arm with cast pivot ends — built for tough and quarry work.
- Strong JCB Dieselmax 7.2 L engine gives good power and torque for heavy earthmoving.
- 500 L/min flow supports demanding digging and attachments smoothly.
Komatsu PC1250-8R
Pros
- Komatsu SAA6D170E‑5 produces 514 kW (688 HP) @ ~1800 rpm for strong digging/hoisting performance.
- Long boom + optional arm lengths give deep reach (~9–11.6 m) and wide working envelope (~15–17 m) for loading and heavy excavation tasks.
- Supports 3.4 m³ minimum up to ~7 m³ (shovel configurations) bucket capacities for big cycle productivity.
