About · Komatsu PC55

Overview

The Komatsu PC55 is a mini-excavator in the five-tonne operating class, with a working weight of 5164 kg and an engine output of 38 hp. It is equipped with a bucket capacity of 0.12 m³, placing it in the upper segment of the compact excavator category. The machine reflects Komatsu's established engineering standards for this class and is widely available on the European used-equipment market.

Typical applications

Where this machine is used

Mini-excavators in this weight and power class are well suited to confined-site earthmoving, utility trenching, drainage work, and landscaping operations where access restrictions limit the use of larger equipment. The PC55 is also commonly deployed in urban construction and pipeline installation projects. Its size and reach make it a practical choice for contractors requiring a balance between digging performance and site mobility.

Used-market inspection

What to check before buying

Buyers inspecting a used PC55 should assess the condition of the undercarriage, including track wear, rollers, and drive motors, as these components represent a significant portion of maintenance exposure on any mini-excavator. The hydraulic system deserves close attention, particularly cylinders, hoses, and the main control valve, for signs of leakage or sluggish response. Engine hours should be verified against service records, and the boom, arm, and bucket pins should be checked for wear and play. Requesting full service documentation and confirming that any attachments are compatible with the machine's hydraulic circuit are standard due-diligence steps in this class.

Current market

Price position

On the European used market, the Komatsu PC55 carries an average price of EUR 26150, with a typical range running from EUR 21540 to EUR 30200. This positions it competitively against comparable models such as the Caterpillar 305 and the Kobelco SK55, which occupy the same operating weight segment and compete directly for the same buyer base. Condition, age, and attachment configuration are the primary factors driving price variation within that range.
