Komatsu PC300 Excavator
Made in Japan, it has become famous all over the world. The positive features of the Komatsu PC300 include reliability, efficiency, comfort and unpretentiousness in care and maintenance. In addition, for such a machine there are no restrictions on the conditions of the construction site or climate, thanks to the crawler chain excavator overcomes difficult areas without getting stuck. The excavator floor is also not an obstacle and remains undamaged on the road after passing the devices.
Komatsu PC300 Crawler Excavator
The diversity of the excavator allows it to be used not only in different conditions of the construction site, but also to perform a wide range of tasks. The Komatsu PC300 is assembled with high quality and performance features. This is due to the minimum amount of human labor and a high degree of automation in the production of machines paired with the use of modern materials.
Construction and mining industries often use Komatsu PC300 excavator in their work. Increased drive power has resulted in higher productivity with low fuel consumption. The increased tractive force during development makes it easy to steer the machine when cornering and smoothly traversing large gradients.
Even the shovel’s cutting capacity and the power of the cutter are not left unnoticed; they are increased when the excavator is operating at maximum productivity.
Carrying capacity can be increased by increasing the lateral stability of the machine. In addition, the technical specifications of the units are designed so that maintenance is extremely easy:
- Oil and filter changes are much less frequent than in other excavator models;
- Water separator is factory-installed and is included as standard equipment;
- Fuel tank has a larger capacity than other models;
- Fuel drain valve and oil filter can be installed on the side;
- Cleaning the cooler is quite simple.
Advantages of this technology include:
- Increased arm and bucket force;
- Lower fuel consumption and higher productivity;
- Easy care and maintenance;
- Increased lateral stability;
- Increased traction.

engine
Direct injection, turbocharging (with reduced air temperature), and fluid temperature reduction are the main features of the four gearboxes with the six-cylinder SAA6D114E diesel-fueled powertrain. It is fitted with standard equipment from the Komatsu RS300.
Komatsu PC300-8MO Excavator
The Komatsu PC300 is equipped with an 8.3-liter engine. A small amount of fuel is consumed at 1,900 rpm. The output of this unit is 194 kW, which when converted to horsepower is 260. The cylinder diameter is 114 mm. In addition, there is speed adaptation in every function, and the exhaust systems are anima l-II compliant.
device
This excavator model is durable and reliable, which is guaranteed:
- Installation of metal safety rings. They are designed to protect the hydraulic cylinders and at the same time increase the reliability of the machine.
- The durability of all elements and installations that pass all manufacturer’s tests;
- Installation of electronics. It is not subjected to difficult working conditions, as it has passed all the necessary endurance tests;
- Installations of instruments and devices with increased accuracy. With reinforced buckets and a handle designed around the cross-section, the machine can increase power. In addition, edge-splitting welding is continuous. This results in additional strength to the entire structure;
- Improved frame design. The strength is due to production automation and the introduction of microscopy in the design phase.

The operator’s cabin has not gone unnoticed by the developers. Basic models are not equipped with air conditioning, but with an individual order there is an option to install it. A filter cleans the air thoroughly, which keeps dust out of the cab and prevents overpressure inside.

The operator is not distracted by extraneous sounds because the cab is covered with sound insulation. Vibrations are eliminated by changing the shock absorber design (additional spring and long stroke). In addition, vibration and operator noise are reduced due to reinforced fields on the sides.
The levers have several positions, making shifting effortless. Ergonomics are achieved not only by easy and comfortable movement of levers, but also due to the mobility of the seats.

Additional protection comes from:
- The strength of the support, which is achieved by applying an anti-slip coating to the steps, secure handrails are installed;
- Bulkheads between the pump and engine to prevent oil from getting into the engine if the hydraulic hose ruptures;
- A heat shield that separates the motor and fan from other machine components;
- Increased viewing angles because the right window pillar has been removed and the rear window has been reshaped;
- Guardrails against objects falling from a height and the ability to install additional overhead protection.
The technical equipment has been improved over the existing models, and the service life, quality and safety of the machine have been increased.
It is worth emphasizing that the bucket and arm and backhoe forces have been increased.
Price for new and used Komatsu 300
Renting an excavator costs 1,600 rubles/plus, buying a used one from 4.8 to 6.7 million rubles depending on the year of manufacture (2008-2011). The price of the new Komatsu PC 300 is 7 million rubles with basic configuration.
Analog
It is impossible to find an excavator with an exact match of all parameters, but the Doosan DX300LCA is worth picking up under the model range presented. When selecting a suitable model, it is worth carefully weighing all the features so that the technique fits all the points. Zeus HXW310 can also serve as an alternative.

Maintenance
Engine oil filter and fuel drain valve are located separately on one side of the cab. The oil cooler and oil cooler are located in one row, so they can be simply removed, cleaned and installed again.
Oil changes on the excavator are done through an eco-friendly drain valve that prevents leakage from the ground. A high-performance air filter with new seals is included as standard equipment. This prevents it from quickly clogging and the machine’s performance dropping. The excavator is equipped with a diesel grub filter with a water separator.

As an option, manufacturer offers to install BMRC bushings and plastic washers on all operating equipment pins, except for bucket pins. This extends their lubrication interval to 500 m/h.
comfort and safety
The cab of the improved design is well soundproofed. The fully adjustable driver’s seat can be set to a fully horizontal position. Together with the control levers, the armrests of the seat can be individually adjusted.
Vibration levels are reduced by mounting the excavator cab on viscous isolation mounts with an additional spring and increased operating stroke. For the safety of the operator in case of accidental tipping and falling heavy objects, the excavator is equipped with ROPS cab, which meets the safety requirements of ISO 12117-2.
Photo source: komek.ru The Komatsu PC300-8 has 6 different operating modes.
Particularly heated parts of the power unit and fan drive are surrounded by special thermal barriers. The excavator also has a partition between the pump and engine compartments, which eliminates the risk of oil splashing on the engine in case of a damaged hydraulic hose.
Anti-slip decks and enlarged visibility mirrors are included in the basic equipment of the machine. When ordering a komatsu pc300 8, it is possible to install a rear-view camera with image output to the monitor.
