Used Komatsu PC360 for Sale from China: Which Unit Fits?

Send YUANJIAN the job plan and we can supply or source a used Komatsu PC360 in China that fits the material, truck size, lift radius, relocation frequency and local service capability. We then connect the selected unit to inspection evidence, measured shipping data and an FOB or CIF quotation. Stock, suffix and unit identity are confirmed before payment.

Official Komatsu PC360 references and current related stock reviewed 27 August 2026. Dash-7, 8M2, LC and later versions require serial-specific verification.

Choose the mission before the machine

The same PC360 can be a strong production tool in one fleet and an expensive mismatch in another. Score the work before comparing sellers.

1

Mass earthmoving

Best when truck fleet, bucket and haul rhythm keep the machine loaded. Compare target bank cubic metres per hour, not brochure cycle time.

2

Quarry support

Useful for overburden and face cleanup when structure, cooling, guarding and undercarriage suit abrasive duty.

3

Road and infrastructure

Strong for large cuts and drainage, but relocation permits and bridge limits may make a PC300 cheaper overall.

4

Lifting and pipe work

LC footprint and lift chart matter. Never infer safe lifting from operating weight or seller video.

5

Breaker duty

Requires auxiliary-flow evidence, oil analysis, front-structure inspection and a bucket/hammer schedule.

6

Occasional heavy work

If the machine will be underloaded most days, compare PC300 or PC350 before paying for unused capacity.

Official reference envelope: useful, but not a certificate

Komatsu's PC360/LC-8M2 brochure provides a traceable transport reference. The current PC360LCi-11 page provides a later family reference. Neither source proves a PC360-7 listing; measure the actual unit and verify its serial arrangement.

Reference Official published figure Procurement use
PC360/LC-8M2 overall length 11,150 mm with referenced front Re-measure after bucket and arm position are fixed
Overall width 3,190 mm Check inland-route and ocean over-width charges
Cab height 3,145 mm Confirm total transport height at boom and handrails
Track shoe reference 600 mm Actual shoes change ground pressure and width
Current PC360LCi-11 operating weight 35,627-36,535 kg Later-generation context only, not a Dash-7 certificate
Current PC360LCi-11 power 192 kW Do not attribute to earlier generations without plate data

Shift test plan: prove the machine can complete the mission

Test phase What to record Decision trigger
Cold identity PIN, engine, monitor, fluids and complete machine in one take Stop if identity breaks or fluids show mixing
Warm excavation Repeated dig-swing-dump cycles and engine recovery Concern if cycle slows sharply as oil heats
Combined hydraulics Boom, arm, bucket and swing interaction Price pump/valve risk if one function starves another
Travel and grade Both speeds, straight travel, braking and final-drive sound Investigate side imbalance or metal/leakage
Cooling margin Coolant condition, fan, radiator, oil temperature and alarms Reject unexplained overheating in target cycle
Post-test leakage Cylinders, pump bay, valve bank, swing and final drives Convert every leak into repair scope and timing

Eight mission-based PC360 answers

01

Is Komatsu PC360 a 36-ton excavator?

It is commonly treated as the 36-ton class, but the exact operating and shipping weight changes with generation, LC undercarriage, shoes, bucket, guards and front arrangement. Komatsu's current PC360LCi-11 reference is 35.6-36.5 tonnes; that cannot be copied directly to PC360-7 or 8M2.

Mission choice: Use measured loading weight and serial-specific documents for freight and lift planning.

02

PC350 or PC360: which should I buy?

Choose PC350 when transport, fuel and mixed use matter more than maximum production. Choose PC360 when truck loading, reach, stability or heavy digging produce enough additional output. Used condition can reverse the theoretical ranking, especially when one unit needs undercarriage or hydraulic work.

Mission choice: Compare expected productive hours and repair-adjusted cost, not the badge difference.

03

PC360 or PC400 for quarry work?

PC400 adds mass and production potential but increases freight, wear-part and mobilization cost. PC360 can be the better fleet fit when benches, trucks and monthly volume do not keep a PC400 fully utilized. Hard material may still justify the larger machine.

Mission choice: Size the excavator to bucket density, truck payload and annual utilization.

04

Which PC360 generation is best for export?

There is no universal winner. Dash-7 may offer lower acquisition cost and familiar service; 8M2 and later machines can provide newer controls and efficiency, but parts and electronics must match the destination. A documented older unit can outperform a poorly identified newer one.

Mission choice: Choose the generation your local technicians can diagnose and support.

05

What hydraulic symptoms matter most?

Loss of speed when hot, pump whine, weak combined functions, cylinder drift, slow swing recovery and temperature alarms can signal expensive work. Compare cold and hot cycle times because a short cold video can hide wear. Oil sample and filter inspection add evidence but do not replace operation.

Mission choice: Require a sustained production simulation before accepting the hydraulic system.

06

How do I check a PC360 used with a breaker?

Verify auxiliary flow and return arrangement, oil cleanliness, cooler condition, boom foot, arm, linkage, slew frame and weld history. Compare the hammer size and duty cycle with the machine setup. Previous breaker use is manageable only when maintenance and structural evidence agree.

Mission choice: Budget from the hardest previous application, not the cleanest current attachment.

07

What shipping method suits a PC360?

A complete PC360 is not a simple standard-container shipment. Actual width, height, weight and port infrastructure determine whether flat rack, RoRo or breakbulk is practical. Removing bucket, arm or counterweight can change charges but creates lifting and reassembly obligations.

Mission choice: Request three freight options based on one measured loading configuration.

08

What should be written into the purchase contract?

Full model and suffix, PIN evidence, engine identity, attachments, disclosed repairs, inspection findings, measured shipping dimensions, price basis, freight validity, loading responsibility and payment milestones. Prohibit machine substitution and preserve the inspection file as a contract attachment.

Mission choice: Pay for one identified PC360 with defined evidence, not a generic model promise.

PC360 procurement candidates from YUANJIAN

Use these public units to test the fleet size. YUANJIAN can reconfirm one listing or source another PC360-class machine in China, then provide the unit-specific evidence and export quotation. Public prices remain references until stock, inspection and destination are fixed.

Primary Komatsu references

The 8M2 brochure supplies a traceable dimensional reference; the PC360LCi-11 page supplies current-family context. Both are clearly separated from claims about an individual used Dash-7 machine.

Komatsu PC360 mission FAQ

How do I order a used Komatsu PC360 through YUANJIAN?

Send the job, preferred generation, budget and destination port. YUANJIAN can confirm a public PC360 or source another unit in China, connect it to agreed inspection evidence and issue an FOB or CIF quotation after unit confirmation.

Is PC360 suitable for mining?

It can support mining and quarry work when guarding, cooling, bucket, structure and maintenance match the duty.

Does LC always mean better?

LC can improve footprint and stability but increases track components and transport width.

Can brochure dimensions be used for freight?

Only as planning references. Freight must use the actual machine after the loading configuration is fixed.

Are PC350 and PC360 parts identical?

Do not assume so. Order components using exact PIN, engine and arrangement.

Does YUANJIAN inspect PC360 units?

Free information consultation and optional paid inspection are available under an agreed scope.

Is a public price the final landed cost?

No. Add inspection, inland haul, loading, ocean freight, destination fees, duty and delivery.
