Komatsu PC450-7 is an iconic excavator type for Komatsu. Comparing to the PC450-8, PC450-7 has a more positive operating experience. The excavator PC450-7 is well known for its high productivity and low fuel consumption. The direct injection, turbocharged, and air-to-air after-cooled design of the engine allows PC450-7 to reach the net rated power 257kW/345HP. The excavator is also equipped with large-bore cylinders on all arms, which reinforces the equipment digging force in tough conditions.
The CAT 324D is a 24-ton excavator equipped with a CAT C7 ACert engine and rated at 140 kWh. The CAT C7 engine using ACERT technology delivers higher engine power and operates at lower RPM, resulting in improved fuel efficiency and reduced wear. Additionally, if you use OEM-quality Caterpillar 324D parts, they can ensure the excavator reliability and longevity on the jobsite.
A hydraulic system is one of the most common parts of heavy machinery, not only excavators but also lifting equipment, mining machines, and other heavy equipment. There is no denying that the hydraulic pumping system is easy to control and helps machine owners reduce around 80% of oil consumption than pneumatic systems, however, the maintenance costs are very expensive when the hydraulic pump fails.
ZAXIS 210 is a medium excavator with 4 main unique features, including added durability, faster movement, ultimate comfort, and a clear monitor screen.

The water pump is crucial for the cooling system of heavy equipment, preventing overheating issues. Customers often face breakdowns due to overheating, especially in hot weather, and seek to reduce repair costs. Proper repair involves removing old components, cleaning the housing, and installing new parts using a hydraulic press. If unsure about the repair steps, you can replace the entire water pump at a lower cost through FridayParts.
CASE defines the B series-CX290B as a powerful and speedy hydraulic excavator as it has three working modes(A-mode, H-mode & SP-mode*) that allow the machine to have higher breakout force, greater swing speeds, and torque. According to the test, CX290B is about 5% improved in productivity than that of other hydraulic excavators.
* A-MODE: for grading, lifting, and precision work.
*H-MODE: the best balance between productivity and fuel economy.
*SP-MODE: extra speed and power for the most demanding jobs that require maximum productivity
The variable control hydraulic pump is one of the main features of CX290B, which helps the excavator work smoothly and rapidly during heavy load work.
Caterpillar 320D is known as an excavator that can maintain high performance with little fuel consumption. This is because the machine engine, 3066 ATAAC, is aftercooled and turbocharged with six cylinders. Moreover, the excavator can control the engine speed automatically according to different load conditions, which also helps the excavator reduce fuel consumption and sound levels.
The 320D spare part is one of the high-demanded products from our clients. To help customers get a better understanding of the equipment and part information, this post organizes basic machine specifications and part information.
The final drive, consisting of a hydraulic motor and gearbox, is crucial for heavy equipment as it transfers power to the undercarriage tracks. Maintenance is essential due to the high replacement cost. Common causes of failure include water contamination and damaged seals, which reduce lubrication. Regular oil checks and changes are vital, as old or contaminated oil can lead to failure. The frequency of oil changes depends on the machine type and usage, but checking oil quality frequently is recommended, especially after operating in mud or water.
Komatsu PC18MR-3 is a mini digger with horsepower 11.2kW/15HP and a bucket capacity is 0.022 m3-0.044 m3. The excavator aims to increase the flexibility of the equipment when it works in a cramped place. The machine’s operating weight is 1780kg, and it has a tight tail swing which allows operators to focus more on the digging without worries about a rear swing impact.
