Condition

With just 310 hours of use, this 2023 Komatsu PC238USLC represents a modern, lightly used excavator with substantial remaining service life. NLEQ’s inspection process is designed to confirm operating condition and functionality, giving serious buyers the accurate, honest information they need. Our team evaluates key operating systems and overall performance characteristics so you can plan your deployment with confidence. For any configuration details you want to verify—such as hydraulics set-ups or attachment interface—reach out and we will provide specifics from our inspection notes.

Advantages

• Diesel: The diesel powerplant delivers the blend of torque, fuel economy, and longevity that heavy civil, utility, and site development contractors demand. Expect consistent power for digging, lifting, and hydraulic functions with the efficiency to keep operating costs predictable over the long term.
• Crawler (Tracks): A crawler excavator spreads its weight over a larger footprint for stable trenching, lifting, and swinging with reduced ground pressure. Tracks help the PC238USLC maintain traction on uneven, muddy, or aggregate surfaces and provide the solid stance operators need to work confidently around utilities, foundations, and structures.
• Heated & Air Conditioned Cab: A climate-controlled cab is more than a comfort feature—it is a productivity asset. Heating supports early starts and cold-weather operation, while air conditioning reduces fatigue during hot months. Clear windows and a comfortable environment help operators stay focused on precision and safety throughout long days.
• Short Tail Swing: The PC238USLC is renowned for its short tail swing design, allowing the machine to work efficiently in confined spaces and alongside traffic or obstacles. Reduced rear swing radius helps minimize risk of jobsite contact while maintaining capable digging depth, reach, and lifting characteristics relative to its class.
• Auxiliary Hydraulics: Auxiliary hydraulics expand what an excavator can accomplish. If equipped, they allow the use of a wide range of hydraulic attachments—such as hammers, grapples, thumbs, and compactors—to turn the machine into a multi-purpose tool carrier that stays productive across changing scopes of work. Contact NLEQ to confirm the auxiliary hydraulic configuration on this unit.
• Coupler: A coupler, if installed, accelerates attachment changes and reduces downtime, helping crews transition between buckets and tools quickly. For operations that switch tasks frequently—like utility work or site prep—couplers improve efficiency and keep the machine generating value. Ask our team about coupler compatibility and current setup.
• Track Shoes: Track shoes influence traction, ground pressure, and ride. Wider shoes help on softer ground by lowering ground pressure, while narrower shoes can improve penetration and traction on hard or rocky surfaces. We can discuss shoe type and width preferences and confirm the shoes on this particular PC238USLC so you get the best match for your typical terrain.
• 9'7" Boom: Some configurations in this size class utilize a 9'7" boom paired with compatible arms to balance breakout force, reach, and working envelope. If you require that specific boom dimension, let us know—we will verify this machine’s boom/arm combination and align it with your production targets.

Applications

The Komatsu PC238USLC excavator is a versatile, compact-radius solution for contractors who work where space is limited but performance is non-negotiable. Its crawler undercarriage and smooth hydraulics make it well-suited for trenching, mass excavation in tighter footprints, and precise work around structures. The diesel engine, operator comfort, and potential for attachments help it adapt to changing job requirements without adding machines to the site.

• Urban and Street Work: Short tail swing helps crews operate in lanes, alleys, and congested spaces with fewer traffic control complications.
• Utilities: Confident trenching and backfilling for water, sewer, gas, power, and communications, with the possibility of hydraulic thumbs or compactors if equipped.
• Site Development: Footings, grading support, drainage, and general excavation where maneuverability and low ground pressure are valuable.
• Road and Bridge: Abutment work, ditching, culverts, and roadside tasks where limited swing clearance matters.
• Industrial Facilities: Inside plants, yards, and refineries where obstacles, structures, and safety zones require tight machine control and compact swing radius.
• Demolition and Recycling: With the right attachments via auxiliary hydraulics and coupler (if installed), the machine can handle sorting, light demo, and material handling duties.

Ownership Value

Owning a late-model, low-hour Komatsu excavator is a strategic way to keep operating costs predictable and uptime high. The 2023 model year provides you with a modern platform, current design refinements, and strong parts and service support from Komatsu’s extensive network. With only 310 hours, this PC238USLC has seen limited use, which typically means less wear throughout the machine and a longer runway before major service intervals. Diesel efficiency and the proven crawler platform help manage fuel and undercarriage costs, while the climate-controlled cab assists operator retention and productivity. When it comes time to sell or trade, Komatsu excavators hold their value well thanks to brand reputation, market demand, and parts availability—key considerations in total cost of ownership.
