Used Komatsu PC350-8 excavator

Komatsu PC350-8 is the PC350 machine I show first when the buyer wants a newer 35-ton excavator with smoother combined movement, lower fuel use, wider export acceptance and better long-term resale than an older low-budget machine. It fits earthmoving, truck loading, road work, rental fleets, infrastructure jobs and contractors who plan to use the machine for more than a short project.

We usually have around one or two PC350-8 machines to check. Many units are around 500 to 3,000 working hours, but the exact year, hours, paint, undercarriage, hydraulic condition and price must follow the current machine. Because this is a large excavator, the machine should never be judged only by hour meter or paint.

PC350-8 commonly uses the SAA6D114E-3 high-pressure common-rail engine, but the actual engine plate must be confirmed on each machine. This engine setup helps with fuel control and export acceptance, but it also needs better fuel filtration and maintenance discipline than older direct-injection machines.

PC350-8 is a better direction for buyers who care about fuel cost, smoother hydraulic coordination, long-term rental value and wider export use. It is more suitable for markets where Komatsu -8 series machines are already accepted, import requirements are stricter, and local mechanics can handle electronic fault diagnosis, fuel filtration maintenance and newer Komatsu system checks.

I do not recommend PC350-8 for every buyer. If local repair support is weak, fuel quality is unstable, or the project only needs a lower-budget machine for rough short-term work, PC350-7 can be checked separately. PC350-7 may be easier for old-style repair markets, but PC350-8 is stronger when long-term operating cost and resale value matter more.

Before quotation, ask for the exact working video. Check cold start, smoke, hydraulic response, swing, travel, undercarriage, boom foot, arm, bucket linkage, welding marks, machine plate and loading proof. On a used PC350-8, low hours are helpful, but working video and inspection details decide the real value.

Final Komatsu PC350-8 specs should follow the current machine, machine plate and actual configuration. PC350 weight, bucket size, track shoe width, transport size, boom and arm setup may vary by machine condition and export preparation.

For Komatsu PC350-8 specs, PC350 weight or PC350 engine details, the actual machine should be confirmed by video, plate details and photos.

Confirm PC350-8 / PC350LC-8 by real machine plate

Confirm by bucket, boom, arm, counterweight and track shoes

Common reference is SAA6D114E-3; confirm actual engine plate, cold start, smoke, idle stability and leakage

Test boom, arm, bucket, swing and combined movement
