Used Komatsu PC220-8 Excavator In Indonesia

Komatsu PC220-8 — Indonesia's Nickel & Coal Country Beast 🇮🇩 🔥 When 20 Tons Isn't Enough, This Is the Machine You Call. Indonesia doesn't play small. The nickel laterite in Sulawesi is so hard it eats lesser machines alive. The coal overburden in Kalimantan demands more breakout force than a standard 20-tonner can deliver. The palm plantation land-clearing jobs in Sumatra need reach and bucket capacity that smaller machines simply don't have. That's exactly why the PC220-8 exists. At 23,100 kg with 172 kN of bucket digging force and a 1.00 m³ bucket, this is the machine Indonesian contractors turn to when the job is too big, too hard, or too heavy for anything smaller. Its Komatsu SAA6D107E-1 engine — 170 horsepower of six-cylinder, turbocharged muscle — has been the workhorse of Indonesia's mining and plantation sectors for over a decade. It doesn't complain about tropical humidity. It doesn't flinch at abrasive laterite. It just digs, loads, and repeats — shift after shift, month after month. 💪 Why the PC220-8 Is Indonesia's Heavy-Duty Champion Engine: Komatsu SAA6D107E-1, 6.69L turbocharged direct injection, 125 kW / 2,000 rpm. This is the engine that powers Indonesia's most demanding operations — from the nickel mines of Morowali and Weda Bay to the coal pits of East Kalimantan to the palm oil plantations of Riau. 170 horsepower gives you the torque reserve to push through hard laterite without bogging down, while the six-cylinder configuration delivers smoother power delivery and less vibration stress on the frame compared to four-cylinder competitors. The direct injection system handles variable diesel quality without complaint — critical when fuel comes from remote depots in Sulawesi or Kalimantan. And because it's a Komatsu engine in a Komatsu machine, parts availability across Indonesia's vast archipelago is unmatched. Your service team in Surabaya, Balikpapan, or Makassar knows this engine inside out. Hydraulics: Komatsu CLSS load-sensing system, dual variable displacement piston pumps, 37.3 MPa working pressure, 172 kN bucket digging force. The CLSS system is what makes the PC220-8 feel bigger than its class — it automatically matches hydraulic flow to load demand, which means your operator gets instant, precise control whether he's loading 30-ton dump trucks at a nickel mine or clearing heavy timber in a palm plantation. The 1.00 m³ bucket is the sweet spot for Indonesian conditions: aggressive enough to break through compacted laterite and coal overburden, efficient enough to maximize cycle times over a 10-hour shift. The 129 kN arm digging force gives you the power to rip through root mats and rocky ground without stalling. Undercarriage: Reinforced X-frame carbody, sealed & lubricated track links, heavy-duty rollers. 23,100 kg of working weight gives you the stability to dig hard without the machine walking, while the 202 kN maximum tractive effort means it climbs steep mine ramps and muddy plantation tracks without losing grip. The sealed track system keeps abrasive laterite dust and mud out of pins and bushings — non-negotiable in Indonesia's wet, corrosive environment. The 70% gradeability handles the steepest terrain from Sulawesi's nickel hills to Kalimantan's coal haul roads. Reach: 6,920mm max digging depth, 10,180mm max reach radius. Deep foundation work for Jakarta's new MRT lines? Overburden removal at a Morowali nickel operation? Land clearing for a new palm plantation in Papua? The PC220-8 handles every job with the same reliable consistency that's made it Indonesia's go-to 23-ton excavator.
