About · Komatsu PC290

Overview

The Komatsu PC290 is a large crawler excavator in the 32-tonne operating weight class, producing 213 hp and equipped with a 1.63 m3 bucket capacity. It has been in continuous production since 2001, reflecting a long-standing platform with broad parts and service network coverage across global markets. At 32070 kg operating weight, it occupies the upper end of the mid-large excavator segment, positioned between standard 30-tonne and heavier 40-tonne class machines.

Typical applications

Where this machine is used

Machines in this weight and power class are typically deployed on civil engineering contracts, road construction, large-scale earthmoving, and heavy foundation work. The combination of operating weight and bucket capacity makes this class well suited to bulk excavation, trench work, and site preparation on commercial or infrastructure projects. Quarrying support and heavy demolition preparation are also established use cases for excavators in this segment.

Used-market inspection

What to check before buying

Inspection of any used crawler excavator in this class should prioritise undercarriage condition, as track components represent a significant cost centre on machines of this operating weight. Buyers should request full service history and verify hydraulic system integrity, including pump output and cylinder seal condition, before committing. Engine hours should be cross-referenced against maintenance records, and structural checks on the boom, dipper arm, and slew ring are standard due-diligence steps for a machine in this weight category.

Current market

Price position

In the European used market, the PC290 carries an average transaction value of EUR 52849, with a typical price range spanning EUR 35000 to EUR 72340 depending on age, condition, and configuration. Direct competitors in this segment include the Kobelco E305 and the Caterpillar 329, both of which buyers frequently evaluate alongside the PC290 when sourcing machines in this weight class. The breadth of the price range reflects the variation in machine age and specification that buyers will encounter across available stock.
