Used Komatsu PC220-8 excavator

Komatsu PC220-8 is the machine I check when the job already feels too heavy for a normal 20-ton excavator, but the buyer still wants to avoid the cost and transport pressure of a much larger machine. It fits contractors, dealers, rental buyers, larger earthmoving projects, sand yards and resale markets.

We usually keep around four PC220-8 machines available. Current stock is mainly from 2016 to 2024, with working hours around 400 to 6000 hours. Machines may include original-paint units, locally repaired paint units and fully repainted units. Undercarriage condition is usually around 70–80% or better, and some machines can be prepared with renewed undercarriage parts when the real condition or buyer requirement supports it.

PC220-8 is suitable for many buyers in Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Africa, but it is not the right choice for every market. This model uses the Komatsu -8 series engine and fuel system, so local repair ability and diesel quality matter. If local fuel quality is unstable, we can discuss fuel line protection and additional diesel filters before shipment, but the buyer still needs basic local maintenance support.

I do not recommend PC220-8 just because the model number is bigger. It makes sense when the job needs stronger loading, harder digging, lifting or breaker work, but it is not the best choice for narrow sites, frequent short-distance transport or buyers whose first concern is low fuel cost.

Before deposit, ask for the exact-machine video. Check cold start, smoke, engine sound, hydraulic response, swing, both-side travel, straight travel, undercarriage, boom foot, arm, bucket linkage, leakage, fuel system condition, breaker line if equipped, machine plate and loading proof. A clean PC220-8 is only worth the price when the engine, hydraulics, swing, travel and structure still match the job.

Final Komatsu PC220-8 specs should follow the current machine, model plate, engine plate and actual configuration. As a common reference, PC220-8 is often listed as a 22–24 ton class crawler excavator with around 23,100 kg operating weight, around 125 kW rated power and around 1.0 m³ standard bucket configuration. Real weight, bucket size, track shoe width, breaker line, counterweight, fuel system setup and transport size may vary by machine.

Common reference around 23,100 kg; final weight depends on configuration

Common reference around 125 kW / 2000 rpm; confirm engine plate

Common reference around 1.0 m³ bucket; confirm actual bucket

Current stock may range from about 400 to 6000 hours

Confirm diesel quality, current filter setup and whether extra filtration is needed

Check boom, arm, bucket, swing and combined movement
