Our operator, Torrance Ruck has 15 years of experience running 30 to 100-ton excavators at a fast-paced mining site.

He uses a 30-ton Komatsu 300 excavator which is a versatile and powerful machine suitable for a wide range of excavation tasks.

​

It might be considered the perfect size for certain projects:

​

• Versatility:

Large enough to handle heavy-duty excavation work. At the same time, it is also maneuverable enough to work in confined spaces, making it suitable for urban construction sites.

• Power:

With its size and weight, the Komatsu 300 excavator has a powerful engine and hydraulic system which allows it to handle tough digging conditions and move large volumes of earth efficiently.

• Reach and Depth:

Our Komatsu 300 has a long reach and digging depth compared to smaller machines, making it suitable for deeper excavations and reaching over obstacles.

• Efficiency/Cost:

For many medium to large-scale construction projects, a 30 ton excavator strikes a balance between size and efficiency. It can handle substantial workloads without being overly cumbersome or expensive to operate.

 

When comparing operational costs, the Komatsu 300 excavator is more cost-effective to run than larger excavators, all while maintaining the capability to efficiently handle a wide range of tasks typically associated with larger machinery.
