News EXCAVATOR More torque and an extended wheel base will help operators of Cat’s new M320 wheeled excavator get work done faster, the company says ELECTRIC One might power a one-tonne excavator in the same way as a drill, with an interchangeable battery, if Komatsu and Honda’s plans come to fruition smooth mover Caterpillar has packed nine per cent more torque into its new M320 wheeled excavator, which will be available to the Australian market in late 2021. In addition to boosting the torque, Cat has tweaked the machine’s design to reduce the time needed for daily maintenance and upgraded the hydraulic system to boost its efficiency with attachments. Cat has also extended the wheelbase to increase operating stability and improved the overall machine ride, helping the machine reach speeds of up to 35km/h. The M320, which replaces the old M320F model, is powered by Cat’s C4.4 engine – a 174-horsepower (129.4kW) unit that meets EU Stage V emissions standards. The engine unit includes features such as the one-touch low-idle with automatic engine speed control, auto engine idle shutdown, and on-demand electric cooling fans, all of which combine to conserve both diesel and diesel exhaust fluid to lower operational costs. A dedicated swing pump provides consistent power in the M320 while the hydraulic system automatically balances power and efficiency; giving operators the additional control demanded by precise working requirements. A heavy lifting mode is also featured on the wheeled excavator which boosts its lifting capacity for the handling of heavy loads. Cat says the excavator’s new, longer-lasting filters will help owners save up to five per cent in maintenance parts, while a new hydraulic oil filter with anti-drain valves will offer a 50 per cent longer service life than previous designs, with a 3,000-hour replacement interval. Two next-gen cab designs – deluxe and premium – are available for the M320. Both designs are larger and feature easily positioned controls in front of the operator. A new 240mm touchscreen monitor with jog dial means operators can navigate through the M320’s functions efficiently, including its internal climate control system. Fully charged Komatsu and Honda are working together to develop a new range of micro electric excavators powered by Honda’s range of mobile power pack (MPP) batteries. The two companies will also establish a battery-sharing system using the MPP across a range of other construction equipment. Under a joint development agreement, Komatsu and Honda will electrify Komatsu’s PC01 micro excavator by equipping it with Honda MPPs and an electrified power unit (eGX), reducing both noise and exhaust heat and gases, making it more suitable to be used in close proximity to people, trees, agriculture and livestock. Using Honda’s MMP batteries on the PC01 micro excavator means operators will not need to stop work in order to recharge the battery – instead swapping it out for a fully charged replacement. Komatsu says it aims to launch the new model by June 2022, with the company’s Australian chief executive Sean Taylor saying the deal will drive Komatsu forward as a sustainable earthmoving manufacturer. “Komatsu has a long and rich history of driving sustainable innovation, with industry breakthroughs such as the first hybrid excavator, which reduced fuel consumption by over 40 per cent, and the deployment of low emission engines that reduce particulate matter by up to 80 per cent – this concept machine is an exciting extension of this journey,” he says. “Electrification and moving towards a global zero-emissions economy is obviously the big challenge for our generation.” After the PC01 is launched, both parties will conduct a series of Komatsu and Honda are working on a range of micro electric excavators. The new model is aimed to be launched by June 2022 Komatus’s PC01 micro excavator will be equipped with a Honda mobile power pack verification tests to make electric construction equipment more convenient, supplying Honda MPPs to civil engineering and construction sites as well as offering aftersales services including a battery swapping system. Honda and Komatsu plan to expand this electrification technology to other micro and mini excavators, up to the one-tonne class, and will also conduct more studies on MPP-based electrification for a variety of equipment in the civil engineering, construction and earthmoving sectors. 12 <strong>Earthmovers</strong> & <strong>Excavators</strong>
