About · Komatsu PC45

Overview

The Komatsu PC45 is a mini-excavator in the 4,795 kg operating weight class, producing 38 hp and equipped with a 0.15 m3 bucket. It represents a well-established product line from Komatsu within the compact excavator segment, offering a balance of digging capacity and site maneuverability typical of machines in this weight range.

Typical applications

Where this machine is used

Mini-excavators in the PC45 class are suited to utility trenching, landscaping, and confined-site groundworks where larger equipment cannot operate efficiently. They are commonly deployed on residential construction projects, pipeline installation, and municipal maintenance tasks. Their compact footprint makes them a practical choice for urban jobsites with restricted access.

Used-market inspection

What to check before buying

Prospective buyers should inspect the undercarriage thoroughly, including track condition, rollers, and drive motors, as these components represent significant wear items on mini-excavators in this class. The boom, arm, and bucket pins and bushings should be checked for play, and all hydraulic hoses and cylinder seals should be examined for leaks or deterioration. A full operational check of all auxiliary hydraulic functions, slew bearing condition, and cab integrity is advisable prior to purchase. Service history and maintenance records should be requested to assess how consistently the machine has been maintained.

Current market

Price position

On the European used market, the PC45 trades at an average of EUR 4,600, with a typical range spanning EUR 3,760 to EUR 5,440 depending on condition, age, and configuration. Within this segment, the PC45 competes directly against the Hitachi ZX50U and the Yanmar VIO50, both of which occupy comparable weight and power classes and should be evaluated as alternative acquisition options when assessing total value.
