What does LC mean after the Komatsu excavator model?
LC indicates that the model uses widened lengthened crawler, in order to increase the contact area with the ground, generally used in the construction of soft ground conditions.What does the brand of each brand of the excavator mean? To these models as an example, introduced 320D, ZX200-3G, PC200-8, DH215LC-7, I believe that after explanation, you will understand what these letters and numbers mean. Caterpillar 320D 320, in front of 3 represents "excavator", Caterpillar each different products are represented by different numbers, this is Caterpillar and * * engineering machinery manufacturers in different places, such as "1" is a flat machine, "7" is articulated truck, "8" is the bulldozer, "9" loader. Similarly, the letter in front of the brand excavator represents the excavator code number of the manufacturer, Komatsu PC as excavator, WA as loader, and D as bulldozer. Hitachi excavator codenamed "ZX", Doosan excavator codenamed "DH", "SK", Kobelco * * Brand excavator type before letter is also the meaning of excavator. With the letters in front of you, then the numbers should be down. "320D". What does "20" mean? 20 represents the tonnage of the excavator. The tonnage of the excavator is 20 tons. In PC200-8, 200 means "20 ton", DH215LC-7 means 215 for 21.5 tons, and so on. 320D is followed by the letter "D" which is the series of products, Caterpillar now the latest series should be E series products.
The letter "L" has many "excavator" models with the word "L", which refers to the "longer type crawler". The purpose is to increase the contact area between the track and the ground, which is generally used for the construction of soft working conditions on the ground L. The letter LC LC is a more common symbols in all brands have excavator, excavator LC styles, such as PC200LC-8, DX300LC-7, Komatsu Doosan Yuchai YC230LC-8, Kobelco SK350LC-8 and so on. The "LC" here means that the model uses widened longer track, the purpose of the same is to increase the contact area with the ground, generally used in the construction of soft ground conditions. The letter H in construction machinery Hitachi excavator type, often can see similar to the "ZX360H-3" type of identification, the "H" said heavy, generally used in the mining condition. In the Hitachi construction machinery products, H uses a rotary platform and increase the strength of the lower part of body to walk, and some standard rock bucket work device. The letter K letter "K" also appeared in the Hitachi construction machinery excavator product models, such as "ZX210K-3" and "ZX330K-3", "K" here said the demolition of type K excavator equipped with helmet and front protection device to prevent falling debris falling into the cab, and a lower running protection device to prevent the metal into the track.
PC200-8 -8 is the eighth generation of products, but some domestic manufacturers because it is not a long time, may directly from -7, -8 started, so this number may not express the meaning of a lot of sense for many domestic manufacturers. These are basically the basic components of an excavator model, representing the number or letters of excavators + excavators, tonnage + excavators, series / excavators, and generations. Some foreign manufacturers in order to meet the China specific conditions, or some manufacturers specializing in the production of specific conditions of the products in the model have said, such as DH215LC-7, where LC is the meaning of long track, generally used for the construction of soft ground conditions. 320DGC "GC" means "ordinary construction", including earthworks, mining of sand and gravel dam (the density ratio is not too high), highway construction, railway construction. And like tough quarries, it's not appropriate. Carter 324ME "ME" is a large capacity configuration, including short arms and enlarged. Add digital symbols (such as -7, -9 etc.) and Japanese and Korean brands of domestic excavator models can often see - plus digital identification, this article said several generations of models of this product, such as Komatsu PC200-8 -8 said it is the eighth generation models Komatsu, -7 said Doosan DH300LC-7 in it is the seventh generation Doosan models. Of course, many domestic manufacturers of excavator production history is only 10 years, will own excavator named "-7" or "-8" is pure "follow the trend"".
