Komatsu PC450-8 Hydraulic Pump

Our customer’s 45-tonne crawler excavator was having trouble with low pressure in the hydraulic system. When we received the pump, we found that the piston group had completely failed, causing systemic problems that had knock-on effects. By replacing the piston group and fully reconditioning the pump, it was returned to the customer with full functionality.

The Challenge

In this case, the failed piston group had created a lot of fine debris and driven it around the pump insides. This caused damage throughout the pump, meaning multiple parts required replacing. Using cheap parts in repairs means the issue repeats itself further down the line. That’s why CJ Plant uses genuine original parts for all our hydraulic pump repairs, so our customers get the best quality, guaranteed for 12 months.

Process

When we received the Komatsu pump, we dismantled it piece by piece to investigate the cause of the damage.

After diagnosis, we contacted our customer with our report and quote to repair, which they agreed. We then began the process of fully reconditioning the pump, thoroughly cleaning the unit to remove all traces of debris.

Our team used genuine Komatsu parts to rebuild the pump, replacing the complete pistons group along with internal filters, bearings and seals.

After reconditioning, we tested the pump on our purpose-built testing rig to make sure it could handle the pressures of a 45-tonne excavator.

Outcome

Our customer received a fully repaired Komatsu hydraulic pump in OEM standard condition – covered by a 12-month warranty.

They were extremely happy with the service and our affordable hydraulic repair rates, and their Komatsu crawler excavator is now in working order.
