Caterpillar 313 vs Komatsu PC290LC-11
The Komatsu PC290LC-11 is about 120% heavier than the Caterpillar 313 (30,330 vs 13,800 kg), which usually means more stability and lifting capacity but higher transport weight.
The Komatsu PC290LC-11 has about 81% more engine power (147 kW (197 hp) vs 81 kW (109 hp)).
Beyond the numbers, compare local dealer support, parts availability and resale value for Caterpillar and Komatsu in your region: over the life of a machine they often matter more than small specification differences.
