komatsu pipelayers

 

Pipelayers Features

Faster, effortless winch control

- Komatsu pipelayers require only three levers for winch control, one each for the transmission, hook and boom.

- Choice of hook speeds for raising and lowering facilitates stringing, cradling and lowering in.

Big lifting capacity

- Komatsu pipelayers have the largest lifting capacity in their respective classes.

- Adjustment of the counterweights is made hydraulically and conveniently by a lever beside
the operator's seat for machine balance.

Safe operation

- Komatsu pipelayers offer safety features to keep operators working confidently.

- All machines are standardly equipped with an automatic boom maximum stopper device.

- There is a free-fall setting on the hook control lever for use during an emergency.

- Komatsu pipelayers have a closed-type winch brake that prevents slips during operation in wet weather.

- Because the hook wires are located away from the operator, danger in the event of a wire cut is minimized.

Proven, stable undercarriage

- Main components of these three machines are basically the same as those of the Komatsu
D355A, D155A and D85A bulldozers. They have a proven record for reliable and durable
performance, plus easy maintenance.

- A wide track gauge, large length of track on ground and counterweights give these pipelayers more stability to operate on steep slopes.
