The Komatsu PC228 is a crawler excavator in the 23-tonne class, producing 156 hp and fitted with a 0.97 m3 bucket. With an operating weight of 23,380 kg it sits in the upper end of the mid-size excavator segment, combining digging reach and lifting capacity suitable for demanding civil and groundwork applications. The PC228 represents Komatsu's established line of purpose-built construction excavators widely distributed across the European market.
Mid-size crawler excavators in the 23-tonne class are commonly deployed on earthmoving, foundation excavation, utility trenching, and road construction projects. The combination of operating weight and bucket volume makes this class well suited to bulk material handling, site preparation, and general civil engineering where a compact footprint relative to output is a priority. Secondary applications include demolition support, drainage works, and agricultural land improvement.
Before committing to any used 23-tonne class crawler excavator, commission a full mechanical inspection covering the undercarriage wear rate, track frame condition, and final drives, as these components represent significant reconditioning expenditure on machines in this weight class. The hydraulic system, including pumps, control valves, and cylinder seals, should be pressure-tested and inspected for leaks. Engine hours should be verified against service records, and buyers should confirm that scheduled maintenance intervals for the cooling system, filters, and swing bearing have been observed. Cab condition, visibility aids, and any fitted attachments should be evaluated against the intended application before purchase.
The European market average price for the Komatsu PC228 sits at EUR 34,900, reflecting a defined price point for this class in the current used-equipment market. Direct competitors include the Caterpillar 323 and Caterpillar 321, both of which occupy similar weight and power brackets and are frequently evaluated alongside the PC228 by buyers sourcing 23-tonne class machines. Purchasers comparing these models should assess availability, dealer support infrastructure, and parts supply networks in their region alongside the unit price.
