Cambria Contracting & The Komatsu PC1250

Once in a fine while an amazing piece of engineering comes along and becomes a staple of the industrial demolition scene.  For Cambria Contracting this mechanical marvel is the Komatsu PC1250.  This one hundred and nine ton behemoth is easily one of the most capable pieces of machinery in the Cambria Contracting armory.  Brought to almost every job site the PC1250 increases overall operational efficiency tenfold.

A real specialty of the PC1250 is its ability to dig into almost any type of earth and remove giant amounts of it.  Capable of reaching nearly fifty feet into the ground in front of it with an eleven foot wide bucket; it's hardly a surprise that this is one of the more rather popular backhoes in the world.  Digging with a maximum force of 112,900 pounds of force, the Komatsu PC1250 can empower one operator to finish a task in the time it historically would have taken dozens.

Requiring a clearance of twenty three feet or better, the machine can make transportation a delicate matter.  The weight involved makes the process of travel tricky.  Many roads are not capable of supporting the weight of the PC1250 so logistically routes must be planned and analyzed to take it to job sites.  Fortunately the boom and stick can be positioned in such a fashion that it can get under most bridges.  However, it is Cambria Contracting's responsibility to ensure that the routes are clear of any and all hazards.

While the mechanical specifications of the Komatsu can give the appearance of a clunky behemoth, nothing could be further from the truth.  In fact, the boom, stick and bucket work together to create a nimble and agile hydraulic system.  Cambria Contracting's operators, given their years of experience, are capable of not only loading a truck to the appropriate line, but they are sleek enough to level a load of material prior to it leaving the site.

Cambria Contracting uses the Komatsu for many aspects of job sites.  The most frequent is the collection and removal of debris created from the various stages of a demolition job.  The Komatsu is also useful for certain parts of a demolition project itself.  With such force available, an operator will be asked to knock various hard to reach or compromised areas out from a safe distance.  Sparing Cambria Contracting unnecessary risk in their demolitions.

The addition of the PC1250 to the Cambria Contracting array of machinery was a great boost.  It has increased operation effectiveness rates and been crucial in making sure projects have met deadline.  The Komatsu has more than proven itself as an engineering wonder and rightfully so.  For any questions which you might have about the machine described in the paragraphs above, feel free to leave a comment!
