Caterpillar 320C

The 2023 Caterpillar 320C in the 21 Tons Class: Overview

This Caterpillar 320C is a 2023 build showing 2800 hours on the meter, with the available hour-meter evidence in the file. It is a 21 Tons machine in the excavator class, and the unit sits in the Shanghai yard with a dated available unit-specific inspection material ready to share. For buyers comparing excavator listings, the difference here is the paper trail: the hour reading is documented, the inspection photos are date-stamped, and the machine can be demonstrated live before any commitment.

The CAT 3066T Under the Hood

Power comes from the CAT 3066T, which is rated at 103 kW (138 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 2800 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.

Work Cycle: Dig Depth, Force and Swing

Digging figures for the Caterpillar 320C: 4.68 m depth, 7.24 m reach, 68 kN breakout force and a swing speed of 11.5 rpm. The 0.9 m³ bucket is matched to the envelope, and the circuit pressure of 34.3 MPa is confirmed during the function test. The audit log records each measured value with a dated photo, so the numbers in this listing are the numbers in the file.

Undercarriage and Track System

This Caterpillar 320C runs 450 mm shoes across 3.65 m of track at 32 kPa ground pressure. The undercarriage report records Good condition, healthy links and bushings (450 mm shoes), with each wear item measured and photographed. Track tension and alignment were set during the audit, and seal condition was checked on the rollers and idlers. The 21 Tons unit stays planted on fill and soft material with this footprint.

Operator Environment and Daily Usability

The operator environment is the ROPS / FOPS documented enclosed cab with air conditioning, arranged for production work in hot and dusty conditions. Fuel capacity of 410 L supports full shifts, and 440 mm of ground clearance handles the typical obstacles on a working site. Every control function is checked during the inspection, and the results are recorded with dated photos in the HMP report.
