The 1050K pipelayer is available in two configurations for 170,000 lbs (PL170) and 220,000 lbs (PL220) of maximum lift capacity. The 350-hp 1050K PL models boast a dual-path hydrostatic transmission that delivers more precise movement and control along the trench. Additionally, electrohydraulic controls enable exceptionally fine metering when placing the pipe.

Upon leaving the factory, the pipelayer-ready crawlers are ready for the customer’s choice of an approved supplier boom. These machines feature a bolt-on/pin-up design that simplifies sideboom installation, improving reliability and reducing setup time. A purpose-built pipelayer cab integrates an electrohydraulic joystick for precise one-handed control of the load line, boom and counterweight. Additionally, a large roof-mounted skylight provides operators with a clear view of the boom. To further simplify setup, the purpose-built cab is factory equipped for easy installation of the sideboom supplier’s load moment indicator (LMI).

Komatsu’s new 354-hp D155AX-8 LGP (low ground pressure) dozer features a wide gauge and long track undercarriage for improved floatation and stability in all pipeline applications. The D155AX-8 LGP operating weight is 100,000 lbs (45360 kg) when equipped with standard 38-in. extreme service shoes, angle blade and towing winch. This operating weight is significantly higher than competitors and increases useable drawbar pull. Its powerful towing winch with standard high-flow rear hydraulics has a bare drum maximum line pull rating of 150,000 lbs (68039 kg) and a full drum maximum line speed 166 ft per minute.

Despite its heavy weight, the D155AX-8 LGP has low ground pressure of 8.3 psi (57 KPa) and excellent stability due to its long track on ground 141 in. (3580 mm) and wide track gauge 94.5 in. (2,400 mm). The large capacity angle blade of 9.6-cu yds (7.3 m3) maximizes productivity and its 19-ft wide cutting edge can be used to finish grade a large area quickly. The D155AX-8 LGP, whether rented, leased or purchased, is covered by the Komatsu CARE program for the first three years or 2,000 hours.
