Komatsu Excavators PC4000-6
PC4000-6 Mining Shovel
Productivity is the name of the game in the mining business, and the PC4000-6 Mining Shovel excavators is the machine miners turn to when they need to load 150 to 240 ton trucks. The PC4000-6 with 1875 hp can be configured as a shovel or backhoe, depending on the job.
Diesel Drive
The integrated engine oil and filter system combining the oil stabilizing systems, Reserve and Centinel, with Eliminator oil filter extends the oil change interval up to 4000 hours based on oil analysis. The high capacity Mesabi engine radiators are cooled by a hydraulically driven fan for superior cooling efficiency.

Hydraulic System
The power train consists of one main drive. One gearbox drives four identical pumps which draw hydraulic oil from an unpressurized hydraulic tank. Open circuit hydraulics provide maximum cooling and filtering efficiency.The four-circuit system features a load-limiting governor with oil delivery summation to the working circuits and incorporates pressure cut-off control. Hydropilot prioritizes hydraulic flow giving smooth hydraulic response, simple hydraulic system layout, and a reduced number of components. The hydraulic system includes large swing-out vertical air-to-oil hydraulic coolers with temperature regulated hydraulically driven fans.
