Komatsu PC01

Used Komatsu PC01: Condition, Specs and Export Notes

Komatsu PC01 should not be treated as a generic used excavator purchase. Micro access work where transport size matters more than digging force. Komatsu buyers often compare fuel use, hydraulic smoothness and resale against Hitachi, Caterpillar and Kobelco machines in the same weight range.

Komatsu PC01 is a narrow-access mini machine; transport width, rubber tracks, blade play and simple loading matter more than raw breakout force. It is often compared with Komatsu PC35 when the buyer is deciding whether to move one size class. Deposit decisions should wait until the seller shows the machine moving, digging under load and holding the boom without obvious drift.

Where the Komatsu PC01 Makes Commercial Sense

Komatsu PC01 fits buyers who need a small machine that can be loaded, moved and checked quickly before each job. Typical work includes indoor renovation, garden trenching, narrow yard repair and light utility access.

Export cost changes fast when track wear, repainting, missing attachments or port distance are discovered after the first quote. Buyers need exact-machine photos, video, year, hours and shipment cost before committing.

Used-Unit Checks Before Deposit

Engine start, track rollers, blade play, hose leaks and whether the tiny bucket size matches the buyer’s work. Ask for cold-start footage, hydraulic cycle video, swing and travel video, undercarriage close-ups and a clear meter-panel photo.

Ask for the machine turning, digging under load, traveling in both directions and holding the boom still. Fresh paint and still photos cannot prove pump response, final-drive noise or linkage play.

Quote Checklist Before Payment

• Confirm the exact Komatsu PC01 year and meter photo before quoting.
• Match the bucket, breaker lines and coupler to the buyer’s first job.
• Check undercarriage close-ups instead of relying on repaint quality.
• Compare inland freight, port handling and ocean freight before deposit.
• Record cold-start smoke, idle sound and hydraulic cycle speed on video.
• Verify the 380 kg reference against the actual nameplate when possible.
• Review engine start during live video inspection.
• Separate optional repainting, spare bucket and spare parts from the base FOB quote.
• Hold final payment until loading photos and shipping documents are confirmed.
• Ask whether the stock unit includes manuals, extra attachments or service records.
• Photograph the serial plate and engine plate when the buyer needs import files.
• Note any oil leak, welded repair or missing guard before the proforma invoice is issued.

Reference Specs for Quote Comparison

Use these fixed model references for comparison only. Confirm stock-specific year, hours, bucket set, cosmetic condition and service history from the actual available unit.

Estimated FOB Price and Next Step

Estimated FOB reference: US$13,000-16,000. This is a B2B used-machine reference range, not a checkout price. Final quotation depends on year, hours, undercarriage condition, attachment package, repainting request, current stock and destination port.
