New Komatsu mini-excavators

Komatsu Europe International N.V. has confirmed its new PC18MR-5, PC22MR-5, PC26MR-5 and PC58MR-5 mini excavators will debut at the 31st edition of Samoter, the international triennial earth-moving and building machinery exhibition, held in Verona, Italy from May 16th to 20th.

The diggers will launch in Europe in the second half of 2020, and all boast EU Stage 5 compliant engines. The all-new MR-5 range replaces the MR-3 product line, and benefits from a full host of new and improved features. A seat belt indicator, secondary shut down switch and protected PPC levers makes these machines safe for the operator and for bystanders. The MR-5 range also benefits from factory-fit options such as fingertip proportional controls and a hydraulic quick coupler line.
