Product Overview
Caterpillar 308E2 with 1150 hours on the Meter: Unit Overview
Offered here is the Caterpillar 308E2 at 1150 hours, a 8.4 Tons unit that has passed the HMP unit-specific inspection before listing. The file includes the hour-meter evidence, where available, and date-stamped photos of every checked item. Buyers can view the machine live on video after your enquiry is reviewed and receive a written CIF quote for Nigeria, Kenya or the wider region within the same window.
Engine, Emissions and Drive System
Power comes from the CAT C3.3B, which is rated at 48.5 kW (65 HP). The unit meets Tier 3 / China Stage III and the engine identity is cross-checked against the chassis plate during the inspection. The drive system runs through the Full Hydrostatic, and the hour reading of 1150 hours is confirmed against the ECU log so the figure on the dashboard matches the recorded history. Oil pressure, coolant temperature and turbo response are logged in the report.
Hydraulics and Excavation Figures
The Caterpillar 308E2 digs to 4.68 m and reaches 7.24 m at ground level, with 68 kN of bucket digging force on a hydraulic system running at 34.3 MPa. The 0.35 m³ bucket suits the standard production profile, and the swing speed of 11.5 rpm keeps cycle times short when trucks are staged close to the face. The hydraulic circuit is function-tested across the full range during the inspection, and the readings are attached to the report.
