Komatsu D87 expert review
:quality(50)/60954/da9b802d-b520-43dc-bd53-3e63229572e1.webp)
Overview
The Komatsu D87 (1996–2003) is a heavy crawler dozer designed for grading, site preparation, and general earthmoving tasks. It delivers a 23,998 kg operating weight, a 3 m blade width, and a modular countershaft-type power shift drive system, providing steady and practical pushing performance on demanding job sites.
Expert rating: 4 stars
Pros
Strong operating weight and steady power shift performance for dependable production dozing.
Cons
Older machine platform with less refinement than newer crawler dozers.
Performance & Efficiency
The 23,998 kg operating weight, 3 m blade, and modular countershaft-type power shift drive give the D87 steady pushing power for grading, clearing, and general site earthmoving, while the large fuel tank supports longer working hours.
In Comparison
Komatsu D80: Older and slightly lighter dozer for general contractor work.
Komatsu D85: Similar working class with wider blade coverage on some setups.
Komatsu D87: Better suited to buyers wanting heavier weight and a stronger day-to-day production feel.
Final Verdict
Rated 4 stars, the Komatsu D87 offers solid crawler dozer performance within the AED 350,000–480,000 range.
