Fuel efficiency and sustainability are top priorities in the construction industry, and the Komatsu Hybrid HB365LC-3 excavator delivers on both fronts. This advanced machine combines cutting-edge hybrid technology with powerful performance, offering contractors a cost-effective, eco-friendly solution for heavy excavation projects.
Weighing between 81,791 and 85,495 pounds, the HB365LC-3 builds on the success of its predecessor, the HB215LC-2 hybrid, which debuted at ConExpo in 2014. Designed to enhance productivity, this next-generation hybrid excavator prioritizes high performance on demanding job sites. “There is a future for the 30-ton hybrid excavator in North America, but the machine’s focus will be on production gains. The fuel efficiency benefits will be an added bonus,” said North American Komatsu executives.
At the heart of the HB365LC-3 is a unique hybrid system that converts energy typically wasted during deceleration into electricity, which is then stored and used to assist the engine during peak demand. This innovation reduces fuel consumption by up to 20% compared to standard excavators, making it an attractive choice for projects aiming to lower operational costs and carbon emissions. Its 269-horsepower engine and robust hydraulic system ensure the machine performs seamlessly, even under heavy loads.
The HB365LC-3 isn’t just about fuel savings; it’s designed with operator comfort and efficiency in mind. The spacious, low-vibration cab includes intuitive controls and an advanced monitoring system, enabling operators to maximize productivity while staying comfortable during long shifts. Komatsu’s KomVision system further enhances safety, providing a 360-degree view of the worksite to minimize accidents and improve visibility.
For construction professionals, the HB365LC-3 represents a step forward in sustainable heavy equipment. It meets the dual demands of high performance and reduced environmental impact, helping companies achieve their green initiatives without compromising power or efficiency. Whether it’s large-scale excavation or precision earthmoving, this excavator is setting new standards in the industry.
Komatsu’s Hybrid HB365LC-3 is more than just a machine; it shows how innovation can drive economic and environmental progress across the industry.
