Komatsu has introduced its latest D65EXi/PXi-18 bulldozer, an EU Stage IV emissions-certified machine designed to enhance productivity and precision on job sites. Featuring Komatsu’s Intelligent Machine Control (IMC) technology, this dozer goes beyond conventional machine control, offering fully automatic blade adjustments to optimize both rough and finish grading.
Enhanced Productivity with Intelligent Automation
The D65EXi/PXi-18 is engineered for efficiency, allowing operators to switch to automatic mode for high-precision grading. Unlike traditional systems that require manual intervention, this model’s fully automatic blade control takes charge of both rough dozing and fine grading. By continuously monitoring blade load and adjusting elevation, the dozer minimizes track slip and maximizes fuel efficiency.
Equipped with Komatsu’s SAA6D114E-6 engine, the bulldozer delivers a net output of 162kW, while its operating weight ranges from 20.5 to 24.9 tonnes, depending on the model configuration. Customers can choose between:
- D65EXi-18, which includes Komatsu’s patented SIGMADOZER blade for improved material handling and fuel efficiency.
- D65PXi-18, a low ground pressure variant featuring a straight tilt or INPAT blade, ensuring superior flotation on soft or uneven terrains.
Advanced Machine Control and Remote Monitoring
Komatsu has integrated a factory-installed machine control system, eliminating the need for external setups. This system includes:
✔ Cab-mounted GNSS antenna for real-time positioning.
✔ Enhanced Inertial Measuring Unit (IMU+) for precise motion detection.
✔ Stroke-sensing hydraulic cylinders for improved grading accuracy.
With these innovations, operators no longer have to manually set up GNSS antennas or manage cables, reducing wear and setup time while enhancing overall productivity.
Additionally, the D65EXi/PXi-18 is equipped with KOMTRAX remote monitoring technology, allowing fleet managers to track machine performance, fuel consumption, and operational efficiency from anywhere using a web portal or smartphone via KOMTRAX Mobile.
Built for Performance in Demanding Environments
Designed to tackle demanding construction, roadwork, and earthmoving projects, the Komatsu D65EXi/PXi-18 ensures precise grading, optimized fuel use, and reduced operator workload. By leveraging intelligent automation, contractors can achieve faster project completion with lower operational costs.
For businesses looking to upgrade their fleet with a high-performance, fully automated bulldozer, the D65EXi/PXi-18 offers the perfect balance of power, efficiency, and technology.
