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.
Volvo EC300D
Pros
- Competitive pricing for its class — strong value proposition compared to some rivals.
- Good travel speed and maneuverability for a 30 t class machine.
- Lower ground bearing pressure implies less soil compaction on softer terrain.
