Komatsu Equipment announced plans to build a 189,000-square-foot service center on 30 acres in Elko, Nevada. The new building is planned to include a six-bay, full-service construction equipment and mechanical rebuild shop; a heavy welding and fabricating shop large enough for the rebuild and manufacturing of large shovel and truck structures and the manufacturing of truck bodies; a heavy machine shop with large, horizontal milling and boring machines, plus vertical lathe capability; and a construction equipment and rental machine yard. Plans are to complete construction by early 2020, combining the staff and functions of three existing buildings.
