About · Komatsu PC138

Overview

The Komatsu PC138 is a crawler excavator in the 14-tonne class, offering an operating weight of 14820 kg and an engine output of 97 hp. Standard bucket capacity is 0.52 m3, positioning the machine in the conventional mid-range excavator segment. It is manufactured by Komatsu, a globally recognised producer of construction and earthmoving equipment.

Typical applications

Where this machine is used

Mid-range crawler excavators in this weight class are commonly deployed on groundworks, utility trenching, road construction preparation, and general civil engineering sites. The combination of reach, bucket capacity, and manoeuvrability makes machines of this type suitable for both confined urban environments and open construction sites. Secondary applications include drainage works, landscaping, and foundation excavation for residential and light commercial projects.

Used-market inspection

What to check before buying

When inspecting a used PC138 or any machine of this class, prioritise a thorough check of the undercarriage, as track components represent a significant portion of residual maintenance liability. Inspect the boom, arm, and bucket pins and bushings for wear, and review hydraulic hoses and cylinder seals for leaks or deterioration. A full service history and documented maintenance records provide important assurance, and an independent pre-purchase inspection by a qualified technician is advisable before committing to any transaction.

Current market

Price position

On the European used market the PC138 carries an average asking price of EUR 43343, with the broader price range running from EUR 24380 to EUR 73000 depending on age, condition, and specification. Direct competitors in the same weight bracket include the Kobelco SK140 and the New Holland E140, and buyers comparing options should evaluate total condition and service history alongside asking price when assessing relative value across these models.
