Used Komatsu PC240-8 excavator

Komatsu PC240-8 is the machine I check when the job already feels too heavy for a lighter 22-ton class excavator, but the buyer still wants to avoid the cost, fuel use and transport pressure of a much larger machine. It fits sand yards, stone yards, hard soil work, repeated truck loading, breaker mixed jobs, continuous loading and heavier earthmoving projects. It is not for narrow city sites, light landscaping, or buyers whose first concern is low fuel cost.

We usually keep around three PC240-8 machines available. Current stock may include original-paint units, locally repaired paint units and fully repainted units. Working hours are usually around 1000 to 8000 hours. Undercarriage is often renewed before resale, but original-paint machines or machines still working on site may keep their current undercarriage condition. If the buyer needs, undercarriage renewal can be discussed before shipment.

I do not recommend PC240-8 just because the model number is bigger. It makes sense when the job needs stronger bottom stability, larger bucket capacity, harder digging, repeated loading or breaker mixed work. PC240-8 is better for continuous loading, stone-yard work and heavier earthmoving where stability and bucket capacity matter more than transport flexibility.

For used PC240-8 machines, price is not decided by paint alone. Engine condition, hydraulic response, swing, travel power, undercarriage, boom foot, arm, bucket linkage, breaker line, oil leakage and transport plan all affect the real value. A cheaper machine can become expensive if it has weak hydraulics, worn undercarriage or heavy leakage.

Before deposit, ask for the exact-machine video. Focus on cold start, smoke, engine sound, hydraulic response, swing, travel power, undercarriage, boom foot, arm, bucket linkage, breaker line if equipped, leakage, machine plate and loading proof. A clean PC240-8 is only worth the price when the machine can still handle heavy work.

Final Komatsu PC240-8 specs should follow the current machine, model plate, engine plate and actual configuration. As a common reference, PC240-8 is often listed as a 24–26 ton class crawler excavator with Komatsu SAA6D107E-1 engine, around 125 kW rated power, about 25,130 kg operating weight and around 1.2 m³ standard bucket configuration. Bucket size, track shoe width, breaker line, counterweight, undercarriage and transport size may vary by machine.

Confirm PC240-8 / PC240LC-8 by real machine plate

Common reference around 25,130 kg; final weight depends on configuration

Common reference SAA6D107E-1, around 125 kW / 2000 rpm

Common reference around 1.2 m³ bucket; larger bucket depends on real setup

Current stock varies; working hours are usually around 1000–8000 hours

Check boom, arm, bucket, swing and combined movement
