Refurbished Komatsu PC360-7 — The 36-Ton Japanese Workhorse, Reborn 🔴⛏️
YUANJIAN MachineryTodas las noticias
Some machines are bought.
Some machines are trusted.
The Komatsu PC360-7 is the latter. And when it comes back fully refurbished, repainted, and workshop-tested, it’s one of the smartest 36-ton buys on the planet.
This isn’t a “starts and digs” used excavator listing.
This is a reconditioned PC360-7 — Japanese vertical-integration engineering, rebuilt to go back to work in quarries, mines, highway cuts, dam sites, and large-scale earthmoving projects without the new-machine price tag.
1. Why the PC360-7 Still Rules the 33–36 Ton Class
The Dash-7 generation is one of Komatsu’s most proven platforms. It sits between the smaller 20-tons and the 40t+ mining units — heavy enough to run a 1.6–1.8 m³ rock bucket all day, light enough to truck between jobs without oversize permits.
Core identity:
- 33,000 kg operating weight (PC360-7 base; LC variants up to 34–36 t)
- Komatsu SAA6D114E 6-cyl turbo diesel, 8.27 L
- 180 kW / 241 hp @ 1,900 rpm
- 1.6 m³ standard bucket (1.4–1.9 m³ options)
- 227 kN bucket force / 171 kN arm force
- 7,380 mm max dig depth, 11,100 mm reach
- 535 L/min hydraulic flow, 37.3 MPa system pressure
- 605 L fuel tank, 188 L hydraulic tank
- Komatsu CLSS closed-center load-sensing hydraulics
That’s not “spec-sheet fantasy.” That’s a machine that loads 30-ton trucks, digs hard clay, pulls rock, and finishes a 10-hour shift without drama.
2. What “Refurbished” Actually Means Here
We don’t wash a machine and call it “ready.”
A refurbished PC360-7 from our yard goes through:
🔧 Mechanical Reconditioning
- Engine decarbon + injector balance test, turbo checked, no blow-by
- New oil/fuel filters, fresh engine oil, coolant flush
- Hydraulic pump pressure tested, valve spools cleaned, no cavitation
- Cylinders re-sealed (boom/arm/bucket), rods polished or replaced if pitted
- Travel motors + final drives serviced, swing bearing play checked
- New seals on all hydraulic lines, no seepage
🛠 Structural & Underbody
- Boom/arm crack inspection (dye-penetrant if needed)
- Welds only OEM-spec, no backyard patches
- 600 mm triple-grouser tracks, rollers/idlers checked
- Undercarriage graded: “refurbished” = strong working life remaining
🎨 Cosmetic & Operator Side
- Full shot-blast + primer + Komatsu-correct repaint
- New decals, clean cab interior
- A/C serviced, seat, glass, wipers, monitor all working
- Controls calibrated, pilot pressures set
📹 Verification
- Cold-start video
- Dig/lift/swing/travel working video
- Leak-check photos
- Hour-meter + serial plate close-up
- Third-party or in-yard inspection welcome
You’re not buying “used with hope.” You’re buying used with proof + rebuild records.
3. The Komatsu Advantage: They Build the Whole Machine
Most brands buy pumps from A, engines from B, valves from C.
Komatsu builds:
- the engine (SAA6D114E)
- the hydraulic pumps
- the control valves
- the final drives
- the swing motor
That vertical integration is why the CLSS hydraulic system feels different:
- boom-up + arm-in combine without engine bog
- swing priority is clean
- load sensing reacts fast
- fuel burn stays sane for a 36-tonner (field reports 15–22 L/h in normal loading)
Operators don’t fight the machine. They just move dirt.
4. Jobs the Refurbished PC360-7 Eats for Breakfast
🪨 Quarry loading — 1.6–1.8 m³ rock bucket, blast cleanup, face loading
⛏ Light mining — overburden, stockpile, truck shuttle support
🛣 Highway / rail cuts — deep dig, long reach, stable underfoot
🏗 Large foundations — deep pits, piling prep, basement excavation
🌊 Dams / canals / levees — high lift, slope work, long-cycle loading
🏚 Demolition — breaker-ready, reinforced arm, heavy counterweight
🪵 Forestry / biomass — grapple + woodchip bucket options
🏝 Port & reclamation — bulk material handling, barge loading
If the job needs a 20-ton’s reach but a 40-ton’s bite — the PC360-7 is the answer.
5. Why Refurbished Beats New (For Most Buyers)
A new 36-ton Komatsu is $300k+ landed.
A clean refurbished PC360-7 is a fraction of that — and still does 90% of the work.
Math:
- New machine depreciates 25–30% in year one
- Refurbished unit is already depreciated
- You keep the capital for trucks, crushers, payroll, fuel
- ROI often inside 12–18 months on quarry/earthwork contracts
For export markets (Africa, Mideast, CIS, SEA, LatAm), the refurbished Dash-7 is the rational fleet choice:
Tier 3 simplicity, no DPF/DEF drama, global Komatsu parts, Japanese hydraulics.
6. PC360-7 vs The “Bigger / Newer” Temptation
|
vs
|
PC360-7 strength
|
|---|---|
|
Newer PC360-8 / -11M0
|
Those are great — but 40–60% more expensive used. Dash-7 is the value sweet spot
|
|
20-ton (PC200-8 / 320D)
|
They can’t hold a 1.6 m³ rock bucket or load 30t trucks efficiently
|
|
40-ton class (PC400)
|
More capex, more freight, more fuel — overkill for most sites
|
|
Cheap no-name 35t
|
No hydraulics feel, no parts pipeline, no resale
|
The PC360-7 is the Goldilocks 36-tonner: big enough, not bloated.
7. Attachment-Ready
Every refurbished unit can be supplied with:
- 1.6 m³ GP bucket (std)
- 1.8–1.9 m³ rock bucket (wear package)
- 600 / 750 mm trench bucket
- Hydraulic thumb
- 140–155 mm hydraulic breaker
- Ripper / frost tool
- Ditch-cleaning bucket
- Quick coupler
Hydraulic auxiliary lines can be added during refurbish — so it leaves the yard breaker-ready.
8. Operator Comfort = All-Day Production
Refurbished cab includes:
- ROPS/FOPS structure
- Air-suspension seat
- Auto A/C, low-noise lining
- Large glass, good sightlines to bucket & tracks
- Ergonomic pilot levers
- Digital monitor (KOMTRAX-ready on some units)
- Adjustable pattern control
Tired operators leave waves in the trench. A good cab = cleaner work + less rework.
9. What We Inspect Before It Leaves the Yard
✅ Cold start — smoke, blow-by, idle, coolant temp
✅ SAA6D114E — turbo, rail pressure, injector balance
✅ Hydraulic — pump flow, 37.3 MPa circuit, cylinder drift test
✅ Swing — bearing play, motor heat, brake hold
✅ Travel — both motors, final drive temp, track slack
✅ Undercarriage — rollers/idlers, shoe thickness, frame cracks
✅ Structure — boom/arm welds, bucket hinge, linkage pins
✅ Cab — A/C, glass, monitor, seals
✅ Hour meter vs wear consistency
✅ Working video — dig, lift, swing, load, travel, breakout
No repaint hiding a welded crack. No “hour meter just replaced” stories.

11. Who Should Buy This Machine
✅ Quarry / aggregate / crusher-feed contractors
✅ Earthwork & highway subcontractors
✅ Mine support & overburden crews
✅ Dam / irrigation / canal builders
✅ Equipment dealers wanting fast-resale Japanese 36t stock
✅ Rental yards serving mining & infrastructure clients
✅ First-time 30t+ buyer who refuses to overpay for “new”
Not for:
❌ Tight urban backyards (this is a 33t crawler)
❌ Light landscaping (get a 7–10t mini)
❌ Markets mandating Euro 5/6 emissions (Dash-7 is Tier 3/Stage IIIA)
12. Shipping & Handover
We prepare:
- Export packing (container disassemble / flat rack / RoRo / bulk)
- Rust-proofing + film wrap
- Loading photos & lashing video
- Inspection report + refurbish record
- CE/Origin/Commercial Invoice/PL docs
- FOB Qingdao / Shanghai / Tianjin or CIF to your port
You get a machine that looks sharp, digs hard, and ships clean.
13. Bottom Line
A refurbished Komatsu PC360-7 is not a compromise.
It’s a strategy:
- Japanese 36-ton platform
- Komatsu-built engine + hydraulics
- 1.6 m³ bucket, 227 kN breakout
- 7.38 m dig depth, 11.1 m reach
- Refurbished to working-standard, not showroom-fake
- Fraction of new price, same production DNA
For quarries, mines, highways, dams, and serious earthworks — this is the machine that pays for itself while the new-machine buyers are still financing year two.
