Condition

Like every machine we sell, this Caterpillar 320 has been carefully tested and inspected by NLEQ to provide accurate, honest, and reliable information. The 2,365 operating hours reflect a modern machine that has seen regular use while remaining well within the expected service life of a late-model Cat excavator. The machine starts, runs, and functions as intended with responsive hydraulics and the stable, predictable feel you want in a production excavator. The enclosed, climate-controlled cab presents cleanly and supports operator comfort, visibility, and control. Undercarriage components, including the 31-inch track shoes, provide dependable traction and grading stability consistent with the hours and Caterpillar build quality. Buyers can move forward confidently knowing this unit is work-ready, with a Premier Warranty in place to further reduce risk and protect uptime.

Advantages

• Cat diesel power: The Cat diesel system is engineered for reliability, fuel efficiency, and consistent power delivery. In day-to-day excavation, that means quicker cycle times, confident lifting and swinging, and lower total cost of ownership due to widely available parts, service support, and proven durability.
• Crawler undercarriage: A crawler excavator distributes weight across the track frames, improving flotation, stability, and traction over varied ground conditions—from compacted fill to softer soils. The result is smoother grading, better slope work control, and steady trenching performance in environments where wheeled machines may struggle.
• Long arm: The long arm configuration offers extended reach and dig depth over standard setups. In practice, it reduces repositioning, helps reach across wider trenches or embankments, improves slope finishing efficiency, and allows operators to load trucks positioned further away—boosting cycle productivity on congested or constrained jobsites.
• Cab with heat and A/C: The enclosed cab shields operators from dust, noise, and weather while the heating system keeps productivity up in colder months and the A/C maintains comfort during hot conditions. A comfortable operator is a more productive operator, with better focus, smoother controls, and reduced fatigue across long shifts.
• 31" tracks: The 31-inch track shoes strike a smart balance between ground pressure and stability. They help the machine stay planted when lifting or swinging, support confident grading, and reduce surface disturbance compared to more aggressive configurations, which is beneficial on finish work and developed sites.
• Ditch cleaning bucket: The included ditch cleaning bucket is designed for shaping, sloping, and cleaning channels or ponds, as well as final trim work. Having this bucket on hand increases versatility immediately, reducing rental needs and allowing crews to transition quickly between bulk excavation and finish-quality results.
• Premier Warranty until 08/16/2026 or 5,000 hours: Warranty coverage is a tangible ownership benefit that helps control risk and budgeting. With protection through the stated date or hour limit, you gain peace of mind on a late-model machine, improved predictability for maintenance planning, and added confidence when deploying the excavator to critical schedules.

Applications

The Caterpillar 320 is a highly versatile crawler excavator suited to a wide range of civil, commercial, and industrial tasks. Contractors and fleet managers choose this model for its balanced size, transportability, and performance in common excavation duties. On site development and mass excavation, it handles digging and loading with dependable power and efficient cycles. For utility contractors, the long arm makes trenching and backfilling more efficient across deeper or wider runs. Road and bridge crews benefit from its ability to handle drainage work, slope shaping, and structural excavation with fine control. The included ditch cleaning bucket is particularly valuable for finishing shoulders, grading swales, cleaning ditches, and shaping retention areas. In landscaping and environmental restoration, the machine’s reach and stability help place materials, trim banks, and work around water features while maintaining a clean finish. Across these segments, the enclosed, climate-controlled cab keeps operators productive in any season.

Ownership Value

Owning a used Caterpillar 320 excavator delivers strong lifecycle value. Caterpillar’s global parts and service network supports uptime, and Cat diesel technology is widely recognized for long service life and straightforward maintenance. The crawler design reduces site limitations by enabling consistent traction and stability. The long arm configuration expands the scope of work a single unit can perform, increasing utilization across your project portfolio. The included ditch cleaning bucket saves time and money compared to sourcing an attachment later, immediately expanding jobsite capability. The enclosed, heated and air-conditioned cab contributes to operator retention and performance by reducing fatigue and improving workplace conditions. Most importantly, the Premier Warranty until 08/16/2026 or 5,000 hours helps protect your investment, smoothing out unforeseen events and helping you plan workload and service with confidence. Combined, these factors support strong resale and lower total cost of ownership over the machine’s service life.
