Komatsu’s MR-5 range builds on the MR-3 product line, with Stage V engine technology and other refinements.

There is now a seat belt indicator, a secondary shut down switch and protected PPC levers to improve safety, both for the operator and for bystanders.

“Fingertip proportional controls and a hydraulic quick coupler line to deliver flexibility, and ensure quality, reliability and performance day in and day out,” the publicity material says. “A large ergonomically-designed operating environment, with a wide seat, provides a comfortable and safe working place for any operator, no matter the job.”

Simone Reddi, Komatsu Europe’s product manager for mini excavators, says: “The MR-5 range concentrates the quality and performance of the larger Komatsu construction range into a compact package, and with a unique design concept the Komatsu MR-5 excavators are sure to stand out on jobsites across Europe.

“The PC24MR-5 is positioned to combine with the PC26MR-5 to form a strong two-model attack strategy in this all-important segment that requires high performance and easy transport” .
