Since many of the Komatsu excavators bought in the UK were made in County Durham, the machines have a more home grown feel about them, helping to make them popular for UK buyers in the competitive crawler excavator market. Usually finding itself in the top three for tracked excavators for sale on the Plantpages website, Komatsu are a serious player in the market with their ‘PC’ ranges. With the range starting at 8 tonnes operating weight (Komatsu actually classes these as ‘midi crawler excavators’) and the main range topping out at 125 tonnes operating weight with the PC1250, (with mining excavators up to 800 tonnes!) There are many specialist versions made by Komatsu, including Hybrids, intelligent machine control, short tail swing, super long reach and demolition excavators – all of them tracked.
