Two 2010 hp diesel engines or, if you’d rather use electricity, two 1450 kW electric motors provide power for Komatsu's massive hydraulic PC8000-6 shovel.
In the shovel configuration, all hydraulic cylinders are mounted under the shovel attachment for protection from falling material.
Whether in shovel or backhoe configuration, the PC8000-6 is a high production truck loading system that will out cycle rope shovels and load trucks from 240 ton and higher.
