Komatsu PC 225 LC
Pros
- The ~165 HP engine provides solid torque and power for deep-digging and medium to heavy excavation works such as foundation, quarrying, trenching, and loading.
- Komatsu excavators are known globally for robust build quality, longevity, and reliability in tough jobsite conditions.
- Modern cabins (air-conditioned, ergonomic controls) reduce operator fatigue and improve productivity on long shifts.
CAT 345 GC
Pros
- Designed as the GC (“General Construction”) variant with efficiency focus vs heavier models like 345C or 349.
- Good reach and depth for large trenching, earthmoving and general excavation work.
- 630 L/min flow supports heavy implement movement and attachments smoothly.
