Komatsu wheeled excavators PW60 to PW210 – PW for Power Wheel, the Hanomag years of the PW130ES to PW170ES from Hanover, R for short tail, Komatsu engines 4D94 to S6D105, 37 to 114 kW
Komatsu's wheeled excavators carry the code PW – Power Wheel, the counterpart to the PC of the crawler excavators – and their history in Europe leads to Hanover: in 1989 Komatsu took over the German construction-equipment maker Hanomag, and at the Hanover-Linden plant the wheeled excavators PW130ES, PW150ES and PW170ES were built from the 1990s for the European market – Komatsu upper structures on undercarriages that used Hanomag's experience in wheeled-excavator building. The type logic: the number gives the weight class in hundreds of kilograms (PW75 about 7.5 t, PW150 15 t, PW210 21 t), ES marks the Hanover generation, R the short-tail version, N a market variant, -1, -2 and -6 the generations. The engines are Komatsu's own four- and six-cylinders: 4D94 and 4D98 in the small, 4D102 in the mid-range, S6D95 and S6D105 in the big models.

The register lists 11 versions with 37.3 to 114 kW from engines of 2,942 to 6,491 cm³ at rated speeds of 2,000 to 2,300 rpm and operating weights from 7,500 to 18,980 kg.
The Hanover PW excavators were Komatsu's ticket into the European wheeled-excavator market dominated by Liebherr, Atlas and O&K; today's PW148 to PW198 are built at the Italian Este plant.
On used machines, operating hours, play in slew ring and boom bearings, the condition of tyres, outriggers and oscillating axle, leak-free cylinders and swivel joint and parts supply, still possible for the Hanover models through Komatsu Europe, are what count.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
