Komatsu PC78US with 1250 hours on the Meter: Unit Overview

Offered here is the Komatsu PC78US at 1250 hours, a 7.8 Tons unit that has passed the HMP unit-specific inspection before listing. The file includes the hour-meter evidence, where available, and date-stamped photos of every checked item. Buyers can view the machine live on video after your enquiry is reviewed and receive a written CIF quote for Nigeria, Kenya or the wider region within the same window.

The Komatsu SAA4D95LE-5 Under the Hood

Power comes from the Komatsu SAA4D95LE-5, which is rated at 40.5 kW (55 HP). The unit meets Tier 3 / China Stage III and the engine identity is cross-checked against the chassis plate during the inspection. The drive system runs through the Full Hydrostatic, and the hour reading of 1250 hours is confirmed against the ECU log so the figure on the dashboard matches the recorded history. Oil pressure, coolant temperature and turbo response are logged in the report.

Excavation Envelope and Cycle Speeds

The excavation envelope of the Komatsu PC78US spans 4.68 m in depth and 7.24 m in reach, generating 68 kN of bucket breakout at 34.3 MPa system pressure. The machine carries the 0.28 m³ bucket and swings at 11.5 rpm. The audit verifies each work function against the OEM pressure window, and the results are photographed and dated in the HMP report.

Undercarriage and Track System

This Komatsu PC78US runs 450 mm shoes across 3.65 m of track at 32 kPa ground pressure. The undercarriage report records Good condition, healthy links and bushings (450 mm shoes), with each wear item measured and photographed. Track tension and alignment were set during the audit, and seal condition was checked on the rollers and idlers. The 7.8 Tons unit stays planted on fill and soft material with this footprint.

Cost Profile of the Komatsu PC78US

Why This Komatsu PC78US Sits Where It Does in Value

A machine at 1250 hours has absorbed the heaviest early depreciation while the Komatsu SAA4D95LE-5 power unit stays inside its major overhaul window. That is the value position of this Komatsu PC78US: production capacity in the 7.8 Tons class at a price well below new-unit pricing, with the condition documented in the inspection file rather than left to a broker's description.
