Its sheer size and power make it a formidable presence on any worksite, capable of quite literally moving mountains.

At the heart of this machine lies the Komatsu SAA6D170E-7 engine, a powerhouse that delivers 565 kW of raw power at 1800 rpm. 

With an engine size of 23.15 litres and six cylinders, this excavator is designed to perform under the most extreme conditions. 

The Variable Displacement Piston Pumps (VDPP) ensure that power is delivered efficiently, with a relief valve pressure of 314 bar and a flow rate of 2×494 + 1×600 litres per minute. 

This means that the PC1250-11R can handle heavy loads with precision and reliability, ensuring that every movement is calculated and every action is deliberate.

Its cutting height of 15,350mm and reach at ground level of 9,100mm make it ideal for deep excavation and high-reach tasks. 

The load reach of 9,000mm and dump height of 4,303mm ensure that material can be placed exactly where it’s needed, while the bucket breakout force of 43,032 kgf and arm breakout force of 33,345 kgf guarantee that even the toughest materials can be broken through.

The PC1250-11R is designed to handle the unique challenges of the Australian outback, with a ground clearance of 990mm and a track length on the ground of 6,425mm. 

The track pad width of 700mm ensures stability on uneven terrain, while the speed of 2.3 to 3.3 km/h and gradeability of 70% mean that this machine can navigate steep inclines and rough terrain with confidence.
