Condition

This is a used 2020 Komatsu excavator with 3,275 hours that has been carefully inspected and tested by NLEQ. Our process focuses on delivering precise, no-nonsense details so you can buy with confidence.

Advantages

• Diesel efficiency and reliability: Diesel power is the backbone of heavy construction. It delivers the torque needed for productive digging and lifting while offering proven longevity under continuous duty. For buyers focused on uptime and predictable running costs, diesel remains the most dependable choice.
• Crawler undercarriage stability: A crawler drive distributes weight over a larger footprint for traction and balance on varied terrain. From uneven job sites to softer soils, crawlers help maintain control, reduce ground disturbance compared with wheeled machines in similar conditions, and support confident trenching and loading cycles.
• Operator comfort that drives productivity: A heated cab keeps operators warm during cold-weather starts and winter shifts, while A/C maintains comfort through hot days. Better comfort reduces fatigue, improves focus, and helps maintain consistent cycle times throughout long shifts.
• Productive 48" bucket: A 48-inch bucket is a versatile, high-output choice for common excavation tasks. It supports efficient trenching, mass excavation, and material handling workflows while balancing capacity with control for accurate cuts and backfilling.
• 32" tracks for balance and flotation: The 32-inch track width provides a solid stance for stability and traction. This helps operators maintain grading accuracy, reduces slippage, and supports confident operation over mixed ground conditions frequently encountered on active job sites.
• 9'8" boom for jobsite versatility: The 9'8" boom offers a balanced reach for everyday excavation, utility work, loading trucks, and site preparation. It’s a practical configuration that helps crews work efficiently without excessive transport complexity.

Applications

• Site development and earthmoving: Cut, fill, and grade with stable footing provided by the crawler undercarriage and the efficient capacity of the 48" bucket.
• Utility trenching and infrastructure: The boom-and-bucket configuration supports reliable trenching for water, sewer, electrical, and communications projects where clean cuts and controlled backfill matter.
• Road and bridge work: Load trucks, shape embankments, and handle general excavation near structures with the control and traction required on varied surfaces.
• Commercial and industrial construction: Prepare foundations, excavate footings, and manage material placement with a steady, predictable digging platform.
• Municipal and public works: Tackle maintenance digs, stormwater projects, and culvert work with a comfortable, climate-controlled cab that supports all-season operation.
• Aggregates and material handling: Move overburden, stockpile, and manage onsite materials efficiently with dependable diesel power and crawler stability.

Ownership Value

Choosing a used Komatsu PC238USLC Excavator provides compelling value for owners who prioritize performance, durability, and cost control. You get the advantages of a reputable brand known across the industry for robust construction and operator-friendly design, while benefiting from the savings that only a well-selected used machine can offer. The diesel powerplant supports long service life and broad parts availability, which helps simplify maintenance planning. A crawler undercarriage keeps the machine versatile across different jobsites, potentially reducing the need for multiple specialized units. Comfort features such as a heated cab and A/C contribute to steady productivity across temperature extremes, and that directly impacts your bottom line through better utilization and fewer operator slowdowns.

With this configuration—48" bucket, 32" tracks, and a 9'8" boom—you’re set up for high-frequency tasks most crews perform daily. That means faster onboarding to the job, less reconfiguration, and a smoother path to production as soon as the machine arrives. Combined with the machine’s 3,275 hours and 2020 model year, this is a practical balance of modern features, useful life remaining, and price point.
