The deal means that as of January 2026, the PC220LC-12and PC220LCi-12 excavators will be made available with the tiltrotators integrated.

According to Engcon, the DC3 tiltrotators will integrate with Komatsu’s advanced systems, delivering “superior precision and responsive control.”

The company said the combination unlocks the  potential of Komatsu’s intelligent Machine Control 3.0, offering semi-automatic control of the rotation and tilting of the bucket.

It also includes posture hold control - which automatically maintains attachment orientation - as well as enhanced connectivty through Engcon’s mobile app, remote support, and smart tool programs.

Sam Ryan, Global OEM Manager, Engcon, said: “This collaboration marks a significant step toward smarter, more efficient excavation solutions, combining Komatsu’s advanced machine control with engcon’s tiltrotator technology.”

Rob Macintyre, Product Manager at Komatsu Europe, added: “Komatsu is committed to enabling the seamless integration of attachments that offer significant customer value.

Through partnership with engcon, we are advancing our commitment to provide integrated solutions that help customers work more productively and flexibly.”
