In the world of heavy machinery, parts are often as valuable — sometimes more so — than the machine itself. At Vikfin , we understand that even as a Komatsu PC350-8 comes to the end of its working life, its components still hold tremendous value. That’s why we’ve decided to strip and harvest every viable part from our PC350-8, ensuring each item is inspected, refurbished (where needed), and offered to buyers seeking reliability, performance, and value. In this blog, we’ll wal

In the high-stakes world of earthmoving and construction machinery, downtime is expensive. When a critical component fails on an excavator, every hour lost is money lost. That’s why having access to quality spare parts — quickly and reliably — is vital. At Vikfin , we understand this urgency. That’s why we have recently stripped a Hitachi ZX270-7  excavator down to its core, and now have an extensive inventory of its major parts ready for sale. In this blog, we’ll take you th

When it comes to the anatomy of an excavator, most operators and mechanics immediately think about the boom, bucket, or hydraulic pump. But deep inside the undercarriage and swing frame lies one of the most critical — yet least appreciated — structural components of the whole machine: the X-frame . It doesn’t move oil or lift dirt, but the X-frame  forms the structural spine  of your excavator’s lower body. It’s what keeps the tracks properly aligned, the upper structure stab

When you think about an excavator’s hydraulic system, the first parts that come to mind are usually the pump, the cylinders, and the control valves. These are the muscle and the brains of the machine’s movement. But sitting quietly between the engine and the hydraulic pump is an often-overlooked hero — the pump bell housing . It may look like a simple chunk of cast metal, but the bell housing plays a critical structural, alignment, and vibration-damping role  that directly im
