The CAT C7.1 ACERT Under the Hood

The Caterpillar 329D2 is driven by the CAT C7.1 ACERT developing 152 kW (204 HP). The power unit is listed against the OEM serial records, and the Tier 3 / China Stage III rating is documented in the file. The Full Hydrostatic layout is standard for the class, and the meter's 1800 hours reading is cross-checked by ECU scan during the audit. The inspection report logs the engine pressures and temperatures at running temperature.

Hydraulics and Excavation Figures

Digging figures for the Caterpillar 329D2: 4.68 m depth, 7.24 m reach, 68 kN breakout force and a swing speed of 11.5 rpm. The 1.6 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.

Chassis and Crawler Condition

The running gear uses 450 mm track shoes over 3.65 m of track length, holding ground pressure at 32 kPa. The undercarriage condition is documented in the inspection: Good condition, healthy links and bushings (450 mm shoes). Track adjustment was listed during the audit, and roller and idler seals were checked for leaks. For sites with soft fills or abrasive ground, this track package spreads the 29.5 Tons working weight across a longer footprint.
