Used Komatsu PC500LC-10M0 excavator

Komatsu PC500LC-10M0 is the machine I check when a buyer asks for a Komatsu 500 excavator but actually needs a newer 50-ton class crawler excavator for quarry loading, heavy earthmoving, sand yards, mining support and repeated truck loading.

This model is better for buyers who accept higher purchase cost in exchange for newer production year, stronger working confidence and heavier loading capacity. It is not the machine I recommend when the buyer only wants the cheapest Komatsu 500 or only handles light earthmoving.

The buying point of PC500LC-10M0 is not just the number 500. The real question is whether the job needs 50-ton class size, larger bucket matching, stronger loading confidence and heavier site durability. If the job is lighter or transport pressure matters more, a smaller Komatsu excavator may be easier to manage.

Before deposit, do not judge by paint first. A newer machine can still hide hard quarry use, breaker history, undercarriage wear or hydraulic weakness. Check cold start, smoke, engine sound, hydraulic response, boom lift, arm speed, bucket power, swing, both-side travel, straight travel, final drive noise, boom foot, arm welds, bucket linkage, track frame, leakage, nameplate and loading proof.

Final Komatsu PC500LC-10M0 specs should follow the current machine, nameplate, engine plate and actual configuration. As a common reference, PC500LC-10M0 is often listed around the 49.4 to 51.3 ton class, with Komatsu SAA6D125E-5 engine, around 269 to 270 kW rated power and 2.5 to 4.0 m³ bucket range. Transport size, track shoe width, bucket setup and counterweight may vary by machine.

Common reference around 49.4–51.3 tons, final weight depends on configuration
