Komatsu PW148-11 vs Volvo EW160E
The Volvo EW160E is about 8% heavier than the Komatsu PW148-11 (17,250 vs 16,000 kg), which usually means more stability and lifting capacity but higher transport weight.
The Volvo EW160E has about 28% more engine power (115 kW (154 hp) vs 90 kW (121 hp)).
Beyond the numbers, compare local dealer support, parts availability and resale value for Komatsu and Volvo Construction Equipment in your region: over the life of a machine they often matter more than small specification differences.
