About · Komatsu PC210Overview
The Komatsu PC210 is a 22-tonne class hydraulic excavator producing 165 hp and equipped with a 1.19 m³ bucket capacity. It sits in the mid-range crawler excavator segment, offering a balance of digging force and manoeuvrability suited to general civil and earthmoving work. With an operating weight of 22730 kg, it is a well-established reference point in the 20-to-25-tonne category.
Typical applicationsWhere this machine is used
Machines in this weight and power class are routinely deployed on earthmoving, trenching, foundation preparation, and bulk material handling tasks. The combination of operating weight and bucket size makes the PC210 a practical choice for road construction, utility installation, and site clearance projects. It is also commonly used in quarrying support and land development roles where a mid-size excavator is preferred over larger, less flexible equipment.
Used-market inspectionWhat to check before buying
When inspecting a used PC210 or any machine in this class, prioritise a thorough examination of the undercarriage, as track components represent a significant portion of ownership cost and wear is not always visible in photographs. Review hydraulic lines, cylinder seals, and bucket linkage for leaks or excessive play, and request full service records to verify scheduled maintenance has been carried out. A pre-purchase inspection by an independent engineer is advisable, with particular attention paid to boom and arm cracks, slew ring condition, and the integrity of the quick-coupler system if fitted.
Current marketPrice position
On the European used market, the PC210 carries an average asking price of EUR 27802, with the typical price range running from EUR 21055 to EUR 34576 depending on age, hours, and specification. Direct competitor models from Caterpillar in this segment include the 322 and 323, which buyers commonly evaluate alongside the PC210 when sourcing mid-size tracked excavators. The Komatsu nameplate maintains consistent demand in this class, and pricing tends to reflect machine condition and regional availability.
