I“We specialize in utilities and commercial and industrial developments.”
– Ray Bulloch, President, Bulloch Dirt Works Inc
n 2005, Ray Lee Bulloch and his uncle Lee Bulloch started doing small side projects, such as installing power services and dirt work for landowners around Cedar City, Utah. Within a year, they had taken on a promising amount of work, so they decided to form Bulloch Dirt Works Inc.
“We were big enough that we thought we better make it official,” recalled Ray, noting that he bought out Lee who has since passed away — about a year after the two started the business. “We bootstrapped it to get things going. I was working for another company, and
he had his own business that he sold. It was great working alongside Lee, who was my dad’s twin brother. My father died when I was young, and Lee and I had a special bond.”
After buying Lee out, Ray continued to build the company on small residential work. He also took on another partner when his old friend Sean Demille joined the fold about 13 years ago and bought an ownership stake in Bulloch Dirt Works. Today, Ray is the president, and Sean oversees commercial project management as the vice president. Ray’s wife, Jodi, handles the company’s finances, and their sons, Skyler and Stockton, who helped out wherever they could growing up, now work full time for the company as well.
“We were at a point about 10 years ago where we had 136 jobs on our board, and it was pure chaos,” Ray shared. “ We decided we needed to change things up and turn our attention to larger projects, so we started doing more work related to mining and building developments. We became much more of a civil contractor that provides full-service dirt work.”
Ray added that Bulloch Dirt Works is diversified, with multiple divisions that handle hydro excavating, directional boring, trenching, utility work and heavy civil new development construction. With a staff of about 50 employees during peak season, it has multiple jobs going at once, mainly located around southern Utah.
“In our demographic area, we have to be diversified to handle everything from working in town on a high-density project to doing a large 5-mile road on a ranch to building infrastructure to developing water and sewer treatment,” explained Ray. “We specialize in utilities and commercial and industrial developments.”
Recently, Bulloch Dirt Works completed a new truck stop and gas station located at the edge of Cedar City.
“There was a fuel tank farm that we had to dig out and bury,” described Sean. “We over-excavated for the building and built the parking lot, brought in the infrastructure that included water, sewer and storm. In total, we moved about 28,000 yards of dirt and hauled in a roughly equal amount. There were about 2,000 feet of each utility line. We have done a few convenience stores like this, but really, whatever commercial comes up, we look at it, and if we like it, we bid it.”

Rock-solid venture
Further diversification came earlier this year when Bulloch Dirt Works opened its subsidiary, Granite Mountain Rock Products. Named for the mountain where it’s located, about 8 miles west of Cedar City, the gravel pit focuses on aggregate supply for Bulloch Dirt Works and the community at large. It is currently producing more than a dozen products, ranging from fines and sand to 6-inch rock. Granite Mountain Rock Products delivers with its own trucks, or customers can come to the pit and pick the materials up themselves.
“Having a pit has been a goal since I started the business,” stated Ray. “It allows us to even better control our own destiny. There were actually tailings and overburden that were left over from prior mining operations, so there were piles of materials already on-site to make good gravel that we can use for our heavy civil construction projects. With our high rock and high fractured face that was blasted out of ledge rock, it’s become a sought-after type of roadbed material. We will easily move 2,000 to 3,000 tons of road base out of here a day during the busiest time of year. In the wintertime, there will be a lot more chips and stabilization rock.”
Saving with Smart Construction
Stockton supervises the pit and oversees the technology used by Bulloch Dirt Works and Granite Mountain Rock Products. He uses Komatsu’s Smart Construction Drone solution to measure stockpiles at the pit and track jobsite progress on earthmoving projects.
“We can get a real-time picture of how much material we have, and on the construction side,
where we are on a site, we can see what we have moved and what we still have to move,” described Stockton. “It’s been a game changer in bidding jobs, seeing the progress of jobs, and just more or less keeping everybody on the same page with how far the job is and what all we still need to do. Our bidding is tighter, and our jobs run more smoothly. We pair it with our base and rover setup, which increases accuracy.”
Skyler, who worked for a Komatsu dealer as a service technician before rejoining Bulloch Dirt Works, handles service and repairs for Komatsu machines. He uses My Komatsu to track their hours, location, error codes and other critical information.
“Through My Komatsu, we can access manuals and parts books, and if there is an issue like a code, I can have most of the troubleshooting done before I get to the machine,” noted Skyler. “If I need parts, I can order them right through My Komatsu. It’s good for fleet management. Komatsu is also great about contacting us and helping out when needed. I really like that they handle the first scheduled services for up to 2,000 hours through Komatsu Care, because we have a large fleet to take care of, and it takes a load off of us that allows us to concentrate on other things. It’s really convenient that Komatsu contacts us ahead of time so that our downtime is minimized.”
Skyler and other Bulloch Dirt Works technicians use My Komatsu to manage about 20 pieces of Komatsu equipment purchased from Komatsu Company-owned Dealer West (Komatsu West) with the assistance of Territory Manager Trent Baxendale. The fleet includes standard and
“Once we started getting models made and actually using the IMC technology for production, we bought a second dozer and saw our production efficiency go up over 30% compared to the previous year.”

compact excavators, motor graders and dozers, as well as D39PXi-24, D71PXi-24 and D155AXi-8 intelligent machine control (IMC) dozers and PC210LCi-11 and PC290LCi-11 IMC excavators.
“We started using IMC machines with a D61i dozer about 10 years ago, and honestly, I had a hard time justifying the cost at first,” commented Ray. “That was our biggest barrier to diving in all the way. Once we started getting models made and actually using the IMC technology for production, we bought a second dozer and saw our production efficiency go up over 30% compared to the previous year.”
Ray continued, “The IMC machines know where they are in relation to target elevation and will maximize each pass and bucket. There’s no over-excavating or recompaction. We use

By the numbers

• Approximately 13 products available through Granite Mountain Rock Products
• 2,000 to 3,000 tons of material going out of the pit per day during peak season
the D155AXi to hog material in heavy subgrade where you need bigger cuts. The D71PXi is just a perfect all-around dozer because you can use it from stripping to finishing, including pushing sizable loads. Everyone argues over who’s going to operate the D39PXi when it comes to finishing. It’s perfect for small sites like substations. The IMC machines have really helped us grow.”
Sean added, “We started adding the IMC excavators about five years ago, and we use those to dig trenches, footings and moving dirt. They make it easier for operators to stay on grade and not over-dig, which has sped up production. Another big advantage is that we don’t need dedicated grade checkers or lasers. We can load the model in the machine, shoot the elevation at the invert, set our percentage grades and follow the plan.”
The D155AXi-8 has been used for removing overburden and moving material at Granite Mountain Rock Products, along with a Komatsu D375-5 dozer, Komatsu PC800LC-8 excavator and a Komatsu GD655 motor grader. For construction, the company uses everything from Komatsu PC35MR-5 to Komatsu PC490LC-11 excavators.
“You don’t need technology in every application, but we do need a wide range of equipment because our jobs vary so much,” Ray said. “Across the board, what we have found is that Komatsu is durable and gives us longevity. I get more hours out of Komatsu compared to other brands. That’s one reason why I run Komatsu. The biggest reason we have so much Komatsu, though, is the service I get from Trent and Komatsu. I run some other brands, and no other dealer has such broad support. Any time we’ve had an issue, they respond quickly. They have parts on hand, and Trent or someone will deliver them if we need them right away.”
A lot of opportunity
The Bullochs don’t see business slowing down for the foreseeable future. The Cedar City area is growing, and the demand for construction services and aggregate products remains strong.
“There is a lot of opportunity with mining, rail and retail, so it looks like there are chances to grow,” reflected Ray. “Adding the gravel pit puts us in an even better position to take advantage of those opportunities. Having the boys on full time helps too. They are learning the business, so someday they can take charge and take it to wherever they want to.”
Sean added, “It can be tough to do, but we try to grow a little every year. I think we’re at a really good size right now where we can accomplish a lot.” ■

Leveling the ground Las Vegas builds on
For more than four decades, CC Construction has helped prepare the foundations for the region’s booming industrial growth
Customer snapshot
Company: CC Construction of Nevada LLC
Location: Las Vegas, Nevada
Established: 1984
Employees: 40–50
Areas of expertise: Commercial grading, mass excavation, asphalt paving and warehouse site development
Las Vegas’ rapid growth has reshaped the desert skyline over the past four decades, fueled by contractors who prepare the ground for massive commercial developments. Among them is CC Construction of Nevada LLC, a grading and paving contractor that has quietly built a reputation for reliability across southern Nevada’s booming industrial market.
Founded in 1984, the company specializes in commercial grading, mass excavation, and
asphalt paving for warehouses, streets and large parking lots. Today, CC Construction typically handles 20 to 25 projects each year, ranging from about $200,000 to multimillion-dollar developments covering up to 150 acres. The company focuses exclusively on commercial and industrial work in the Las Vegas market.
Owner and Managing Member Kenny Clark said the company was born from necessity after a difficult economic period in the early 1980s forced its founders to start over. The company’s name reflects its roots. Clark’s father, Richard “Dick” Clark, partnered with longtime friend Elden “Ellie” Cahoon to form Clark and Cahoon the “CC” that remains in the company’s name today.
“After the economy crashed around 1983, Dad and Ellie closed their previous business and started again at 50 years old,” Clark shared. “They mortgaged their homes and created CC Construction. They believed that if they worked hard enough, they could build it again. That proved true, and we have been going strong since.”
That hard work and dedication to delivering quality projects on time have gained CC Construction a solid reputation and a long list of repeat customers, according to Director of Operations David Quinn.
“We try to stay ahead of schedule whenever possible.”

David Quinn,
Director
of Operations, CC Construction of Nevada LLC
“We try to stay ahead of schedule whenever possible,” Quinn stated. “If a small problem comes up, we take care of it. Those little things build trust and keep contractors calling us back.”
Large-scale developments
Over time, CC Construction grew from small commercial jobs into large-scale warehouse developments that now dominate the region’s industrial corridor and define much of the company’s daily work. One of CC Construction’s recent projects included t wo massive industrial buildings totaling about
1.3 million square feet, requiring extensive excavation, base preparation and paving across the site.
The project involved moving roughly 250,000 cubic yards of dirt and placing about 100,000 tons of base made from on-site material that CC Construction crushed with its mobile crusher and reused. Crews removed unsuitable soil and rebuilt the foundation in compacted layers before paving.
According to Quinn, equipment plays a major role in keeping large projects like that one moving efficiently.
“We’re moving a lot of material, so having the right machines makes a huge difference,” Quinn said. “The size of the machine depends on the phase of the job. What works for heavy excavation isn’t always the right tool for parking lots, so we have a fleet of machines, and we augment it with rental units as needed.”
Right equipment at the right time
CC Construction operates several pieces of equipment to match its projects and, if necessary, different phases. Its fleet includes Komatsu WA500, WA380 and WA320 wheel loaders, along with Komatsu PC88MR short-tail-swing excavators used for fine grading and detailed work. Crews are also currently renting a Komatsu HM400 articulated truck and occasionally bring in BOMAG compactors when additional compaction support is required.
Quinn and Clark noted that the smaller excavators and wheel loaders are
among the most utilized machines in CC Construction’s arsenal.
“The PC88MR mini excavators are incredibly versatile.”
– David Quinn, Director of Operations, CC Construction of Nevada LLC
“The PC88MR mini excavators are incredibly versatile,” Quinn explained. “They have a blade and a bucket, so we can fine grade, shape slopes or cut valley gutters. We even shave the Type II base with them when we’re preparing for curbs. They have good power for their size, so production is good, even in tight areas where you have to be very careful.”
Clark added, “Komatsu wheel loaders have been a staple for us for a long time, and we have various sizes to fit whatever the job needs. For instance, the larger WA500 and WA380 loaders were used on the industrial warehouse site, which was wide open. At the same time, the WA320 was being used on the site of a new car wash in Las Vegas that was very congested and required a smaller loader that could more easily get around in tight spots.”
Collaborating with Komatsu
The heavy equipment powering those projects is only part of the equation. Behind the scenes, strong dealer support helps keep CC Construction’s machines running and projects on schedule.
The company has worked with Komatsu equipment for more than two decades. It relies

on the service and rental support provided by Komatsu Company-owned Dealer West (Komatsu West), Las Vegas. From loaders to haul trucks and compactors, the collaboration allows CC Construction to source machines that fit each job’s needs quickly.
Quinn said communication and responsiveness are the biggest reasons the relationship works
By the numbers
• 20 to 25 projects each year, ranging from $200,000 to multimillion-dollar developments covering up to 150 acres
• 1.3 million square feet of base prep completed for a recent project
• 250,000 yards of dirt moved and about 100,000 tons of base placed for a recent project
so well. He credits Komatsu personnel, particularly Rental Operations Supervisor Amanda Kozak, for helping CC Construction acquire and maintain Komatsu and BOMAG equipment.
“Komatsu’s service team checks in with us regularly and keeps us updated,” Quinn commented. “If an issue comes up, they’ll send technicians out as quickly as possible. That kind of responsiveness makes a big difference when you rely on machine uptime to be as productive as possible.”
Quinn added that Komatsu West’s flexibility and Kozak’s ingenuity recently helped CC Construction secure a critical HM400 on short notice.
“I needed a haul truck the same day,” Quinn recalled. “Amanda worked with another customer, made a switch and had the machine to us right away. That kind of support keeps our projects moving and productive.”
According to Clark, the relationship goes beyond equipment performance.
“We have a very good rapport with Komatsu.”
– Kenny Clark, Owner and Managing Member, CC Construction of Nevada LLC
“We have a very good rapport with Komatsu,” Clark declared. “Their machines perform well, and the dealership takes care of us. When a machine goes down, they make sure we’re taken care of quickly. With strong support behind us, we can stay focused on the work happening in the field.”
Maintaining its role
For Clark, a focus on dependable partnerships and steady work will continue to guide CC Construction. As Las Vegas continues to expand particularly in the city’s northern industrial corridor the company plans to keep serving longtime clients while maintaining its specialized role in grading and paving.
Rather than pursuing rapid growth, Clark said the company intends to remain a tight-knit operation that delivers consistent results.
“We’ve found our niche,” Clark concluded. “I don’t want to grow into a massive company with hundreds of employees. I want to provide good service and take care of the families who work here.” ■

Driving the next wave of innovation
VP Paul Moore on Komatsu’s CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026 presence: next-generation technology, connected performance and integrated attachment solutions
This is one of a series of articles based on interviews with key leaders at Komatsu discussing the company’s commitment to its customers in the construction and mining industries – and their visions for the future.
Paul Moore, Vice President of Products, Marketing and Service, Komatsu North America
Paul Moore, Vice President of Products, Marketing and Service at Komatsu North America, brings nearly two decades of leadership experience across the company. Since joining in 2006, he has advanced through senior roles in product management, marketing, parts and aftermarket operations, driving global growth and customer success. Previously, Moore spent more than two decades working across equipment service and support in several industries, beginning his career as an apprentice with the Royal Electrical & Mechanical Engineers in the UK. Moore holds an MBA from the University of Hull in England.
o you have any questions about Komatsu’s showcase at CONEXPO-CON/AGG?
DPaul Moore, Vice President of Products, Marketing and Service for Komatsu North America, is here to answer them.
Question: What made Komatsu’s presence at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026 stand out?
Answer: This year’s show was all about customer engagement and a first look at where Komatsu is headed. The response was tremendous. We brought seven machines to the North American market that had not been seen before, generating a lot of excitement.
Two big highlights in our dozer lineup were the next-generation D61 dozers, targeted release for 2027, and a new platform in our large dozer class, the D175, targeted release at the end of the year. These two products show the momentum we are building creating equipment that helps customers enhance performance, productivity and their ownership experience.
Question: Which new machine introductions drew the most attention from customers?
Answer: There was strong interest across multiple product categories, but especially in our excavators. An important machine for the North American market is the new PC158, which is in the 13- to 15-ton size class a key fit for municipal, utility and landscape customers. For the first time, they saw how our intelligent machine control in that size class could benefit them, which is a significant step forward. IMC is not only about gradeability. It’s about promoting safety and productivity, along with features usually seen on larger machines, now available on a more compact platform.
Question: How did Komatsu expand its solutions beyond the machine itself?
Answer: We demonstrated how we are bringing together Komatsu-owned attachment companies to create a more complete solution. For the first time, we integrated the full range of Komatsu-owned attachments from the Montabert, Lehnhoff and Hensley factories around the world.
A great example was our demolition PC490 straight boom with the Lehnhoff Fully Hydraulic Quick Coupler (FHQC) matched with our silent demolition tools. That kind of turnkey solution received a strong response, particularly from those with demolition application needs wanting equipment and attachments that work together seamlessly.
Komatsu showcases its new HM460-6 articulated truck featuring a DBA127 engine
Question: What engine and powertrain developments did Komatsu showcase at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026?
Answer: We introduced our next-generation engine technology and demonstrated how it could impact their day-to-day operations. A year ago, the WA475-11 and WA485-11 wheel loaders featuring the DBA127 engine were launched, opening the door to meaningful advancements in maintenance and efficiency. That platform helps simplify ownership by extending service intervals and helping extend the life of genuine parts. It’s also EGR-less engine technology, which helps address the familiar complexity of emissions systems. The real story here is the ability to further simplify maintenance schedules, drive down total cost of ownership, enhanced productivity and another milestone in driving reduced fuel consumption.
Question: How did that engine platform support multiple Komatsu machines?
Answer: One of the strengths of DBA127 engine technology is that it is carried across several product lines WA475 and WA485 wheel loaders, a twin-turbo configuration in the HM460 articulated truck (which launched at CONEXPO) and the new D175 dozer coming to market this year.
This commonality matters and represents a broader transformation in our equipment platform strategy
advancements in engine technology applied across multiple machine families to support efficiency, serviceability and performance.
Question: Were there any specialized machine packages that resonated with visitors?
Answer: Yes! On the wheel loader side, we were pleased to showcase two unique packages: waste and yard-loader configurations tailored solutions for segments that need extra application-specific attention. Those specialized packages are an important part of our overall approach to better support unique needs, so customers get more value from their equipment.
Question: What message did Komatsu want customers to take away from the show?
Answer: Above all, we wanted customers to know how much we appreciated the time they spent with us and how excited we are about what lies ahead.

At the forefront of GPS grade control
Scott Despain recognized right away that IMC technology was going to change the industry, prompting him to make the move to Komatsu
About 20 years ago, the construction industry was on the cusp of a revolution in GPS grading. At the time, Komatsu Company-owned Dealer West (Komatsu West) Technology Solutions Expert (TSE) Scott Despain was working for a local Topcon dealer in Salt Lake City and saw firsthand how it changed the industry.
“GPS was fairly new at the time and not many people were using it, but you could see the advantages, and I knew it would gain prominence,” recalled Despain. “I was doing simple wiring to add it to existing machinery. When Komatsu introduced intelligent machine control with the Topcon platform, I applied for a position and was hired. It was a new opportunity to be on the forefront of something that was really good.”
Despain noted that the early focus of the intelligent machine control (IMC) technology was the ability to use GPS without the masts and cables associated with add-on systems. While that advantage remains, he emphasized that newer features of IMC, such as proactive dozing control and the ability to limit over-excavation, have added much more value.
“The cost savings of limited to no surveying and staking, along with less fuel usage and manpower,
are substantial compared to traditional methods,” said Despain. “GPS machine control really sells itself now because it’s proven time and time again. With additional Smart Construction solutions such as Dashboard, Remote, Base/Rover and others, efficiency and productivity are further enhanced. I love being able to help customers adopt the technology.”
Making jobsites faster
A native of Salt Lake City, Despain grew up near the Komatsu West branch. Outside of work, he enjoys spending time with his girlfriend and English bulldog, and he likes to wakeboard on the lake during warm weather and snowboard in the winter.
Despain has been helping customers in northern Utah since he joined Komatsu 13 years ago. He especially enjoys working with new operators to demonstrate the benefits of using IMC machines and how the equipment can help make their jobs more productive.
“My favorite part of the industry is the people,” stated Despain. “I get to go to a jobsite and make it faster. I’m putting new tools in operators’ hands that make them more efficient. They really enjoy that. Usually, at the end of the day, I’m their new best friend.” ■
Demo Days
Komatsu showcases more than 40 pieces of equipment and technology solutions at its Cartersville Customer Center
aining actionable insights into how equipment and technology provide value can benefit your operation. The ability to experience a machine from the operator’s seat adds value. Komatsu gave attendees the opportunity to do both during its most recent Demo Days at its Cartersville Customer Center in Georgia.

seeing that they are now coming to learn about our technology and how to incorporate it.”
New machines stand out
Among the standout machines available to operate were Komatsu’s new standard PC220LC-12 excavator and its PC220LCi-12 intelligent machine control (IMC) 3.0 model, which features automation such as auto grade assist, auto stop control, bucket angle hold, compaction control, auto swing, and payload monitoring. The PC220LCi-12 also has 3D boundary control, which helps operators work efficiently across the entire jobsite by remembering multiple restriction zones specific to each work area. It is the first OEM factory-integrated feature of its kind in the construction industry. Auto swing with travel stop functionality is also an industry first for excavators.
The 21- to 24-ton-class PC220LC excavators have been engineered to empower operators and improve jobsite productivity. They feature a 28% larger cab with 30% more legroom versus the previous model, as well as improved visibility, reduced noise and vibration, and a high-quality, heated air-suspension seat.
The new 8-inch HD monitor puts machine data, controls and customization options at the operator’s fingertips.
A new electronically controlled hydraulic system and high-output engine help deliver up to an 8% increase in digging force, up to 7% more lift capacity and up to a 20% reduction in fuel costs compared to the previous Komatsu PC210LC-11 model. The new P plus mode is designed to boost workload productivity by up to 18%.
“The PC220LC was built from the operator out and is the most advanced excavator Komatsu has ever built,” stated Matt Moen, Product Manager, Komatsu. “Our goal was to have the machine and operator working together. The larger cab with more glass and better visibility, along with an upgraded seat, increases comfort. It has electric-over-hydraulic controls, a new touch-panel monitor that enables extensive individual customization for each operator and much more. In the near future, we will add additional automation features such as swing-to-line and travel-along-line.”

relaunched PC365LC-11 (formerly HB365LC-3) hybrid excavator that includes multifunction plus. It combines a new look with the same proven technology that captures energy during swing and stores it in the ultracapacitor. When swinging, all available hydraulic power is sent to the boom, arm and bucket to improve cycle time, reduce fuel consumption and increase production. Komatsu equipped the PC365LC-11 with its Smart Construction 3D Machine Guidance solution, which brings 3D to most conventional excavators. This gives operators in the field and managers in the office access to design and topographic data, helping drive accuracy, control load volumes and promote optimization.
“This is always such a great event for customers, their dealers and for us, and we really enjoy being able to provide educational and operational opportunities.”
– Andrew Earing, Director of Operator and Technical Training, Komatsu
Komatsu also spotlighted its new WA475-11 and WA485-11 wheel loaders, which deliver lower fuel consumption, higher engine power and greater climbing speed compared to previous models. Both have a Komatsu Hydraulic Mechanical Transmission (KHMT) engineered for improved fuel efficiency and
productivity, as well as large, comfortable cabs that help reduce fatigue.
Smart Construction and other demonstrations
Komatsu demonstrated its Smart Construction Drone solution, which provides accurate jobsite topography safely, quickly and easily.
“The ability to fly and map a jobsite and send that data back to the office or field personnel digitally expedites the time it takes to evaluate the condition or the state of the project,” noted Earing. “Being able to track that in near-real time helps you make faster production and efficiency decisions regarding scheduling, resources and more. The data can easily be moved into other solutions, such as Dashboard.”
Demonstrations were also available for Komatsu’s FH120 forklift, RF-5 reclaim feeder and PC490HRD-11 high-reach demolition excavator equipped with the K100 boom change system that allows for hands-free boom changes from the cab of the machine.
“This is always such a great event for customers, their dealers and for us, and we really enjoy being able to provide educational and operational opportunities,” concluded Earing. “This Demo Days was a little rainy and chilly, but that didn’t seem to deter anyone from putting the machines to the test, which we like to see.” ■
Engineered for multifunction applications
Komatsu PC365LC-11’s electric swing system delivers more power, faster cycle times and lower fuel consumption to help boost jobsite productivity
Komatsu is bringing a new level of performance and efficiency to large excavators with the introduction of the PC365LC-11 multifunction plus model to the North American market. Built to deliver more power exactly where it’s needed, this machine leverages its innovative electric swing system with “boom-up” power assist to deliver up to a 15% increase in productivity and up to a 20% reduction in fuel consumption compared to conventional Komatsu excavators in the same size class. The fully electric swing system, advanced hydraulics and refined operator environment help contractors complete jobs faster while significantly reducing fuel consumption and operating costs.
Designed specifically for demanding multifunction applications, the PC365LC-11 features a refreshed exterior design, an enhanced cab and a suite of standard and optional features optimized for North American construction jobsites.
“The PC365LC-11 was engineered for excellence in multifunction applications by leveraging its innovative electric powertrain system to boost jobsite productivity while reducing fuel consumption compared to conventional Komatsu excavator offerings in this size class.”
- Matthew Moen, Product Manager, Komatsu
“The PC365LC-11 was engineered for excellence in multifunction applications by leveraging its innovative electric powertrain system to boost jobsite productivity while reducing fuel consumption compared to conventional Komatsu excavator offerings in this size class,” said Matthew Moen, Product Manager, Komatsu. “To highlight these performance enhancements, we’re emphasizing the concept of ‘multifunction plus’ as the defining feature of this machine.”
Enhanced performance and reduced fuel consumption
The PC365LC-11 is the only excavator in its class equipped with a fully electric swing system with “boom-up” power assist. The PC365LC-11’s electric swing motor enhances multifunction performance by delivering faster swing acceleration, reducing cycle times and increasing productivity. Unlike conventional hydraulic swing motors, the PC365LC-11’s electric swing motor
recovers kinetic energy at the end of each swing and converts it to electricity.
That energy is stored in the Komatsu-designed ultra-capacitor, where it can power the electric swing motor or be directed to the engine-mounted motor-generator. This provides an instantaneous boost of up to 70 additional horsepower to the work equipment by assisting the engine's response from an ultra-low idle speed of 700 RPM. The ultra-low idle state was designed to reduce fuel consumption further lowering total cost of ownership and minimizing downtime. All electrical energy used by the system is generated during normal machine operation, and there is no need for external charging.
By eliminating the need for hydraulic power for swing operations, full hydraulic flow is now optimally routed to the boom, arm and bucket cylinders improving digging cycle times, reducing work equipment lag and creating a smoother operation in multifunction applications.
The electric powertrain also contributes to a quieter jobsite. Eliminating hydraulic flow during the swinging motion reduces mechanical noise and vibration, and the ultra-low 700 RPM idle
speed operates significantly quieter than the conventional 1,000 RPM low idle. The external noise reduction of 4 dB(A) helps improve the working environment for the operator, nearby crews and others near the jobsite.
Even in the most demanding multifunction applications, these advancements make the PC365LC-11 up to 15% more productive and reduce fuel consumption by up to 20% when compared to the conventional PC360LC/LCi-11 a rare combination of higher output and greater efficiency.
Compared to the previous model, the PC365LC-11 brings new features and enhancements across three key areas: operator experience, technology and attachment flexibility:
• Greater operator comfort for long shifts: A new standard** premium heated air-suspension operator seat features a high leather back, improved cushioning and multiple adjustments to enhance operator comfort during long working shifts. New standard proportional joysticks provide smooth, variable-speed control of plus one attachments while offering an ergonomic feel, helping reduce operator fatigue and wrist stress.
• Technology that gets the job done: The KomVision camera system comes as standard** and provides a real-time bird’s-eye view of the machine and its surroundings to help improve situational awareness that supports Komatsu’s mission of zero harm. An optional Smart
Construction 3D Machine Guidance kit can be factory-installed, giving operators and managers access to 3D design and topographic data to improve accuracy, manage load volumes and optimize operations.
• Efficient, fast and versatile attachment operation: The tool control system is standard for machine configurations with a plus one hydraulic attachment piping. This empowers operators to configure and store flow rates and target pressures for multiple attachments. Attachment information is displayed on the in-cab monitor interface, enabling quick switching between tools with accurate, preconfigured hydraulic settings. Optional hydraulic quick coupler piping can be factory-installed, saving both time and local installation costs. This piping provides the necessary hydraulic flow and pressure to operate hydraulic quick couplers, such as the Lehnhoff fully automatic symmetric quick coupler.
For added peace of mind, the machine’s electric powertrain components are covered by a 7-year/15,000-hour transferable warranty. ■

Once parts are added to the cart, users gain immediate access to critical information, including
inventory levels, lead times and branch availability, as well as any current promotions.
“It’s all at their fingertips,” stated Carranza.
Product images give added reassurance and enhanced shopping tools such as freight estimates and order cutoff times help customers plan repairs with confidence, according to Carranza.
Ordering parts is now made simpler than ever:
1. Log in to your My Komatsu account via desktop or the mobile app.
2. Select a registered machine from your fleet or enter a model number.
3. Search for the needed part by keyword, category or visual diagram.
4. Add items to the shopping cart, and review availability and shipping options.
5. Choose fulfillment pickup, jobsite delivery or a combination of both.
6. Submit payment, confirm the order, and enroll in text or email updates.
After checkout, these enhancements continue to deliver value. Customers receive real-time notifications from processing to delivery, eliminating uncertainty.
Carranza emphasized, “There’s no second guessing. You know where your order is in the process. With the Parts 360 enhancements, Komatsu reinforces its commitment to uptime by putting genuine parts, transparent information and flexible fulfillment directly into customers’ hands at no additional cost.”
