How do you read wheeled excavator model numbers?

Rules differ by brand, but a few patterns help:

  • Komatsu PW = wheeled (crawler is PC).
  • Volvo EW = wheeled (crawler is EC).
  • Caterpillar M series = wheeled (crawler is the number series, e.g. 320).
  • Hyundai/Doosan wheeled models often carry a W (R60W, DH150W, DX125W).

The number usually indicates the size class, not the exact operating weight. Always confirm the plate on the exact machine.

Ask us for the model, tonnage or destination you have in mind — we reply with matching units and an FOB or CIF quotation.
