Caterpillar 330D2L

The 2023 Caterpillar 330D2L in the 32 Tons Class: Overview

The 2023 Caterpillar 330D2L at 1100 hours is presented as a 32 Tons machine with a complete inspection history. The HMP unit-specific inspection material is dated and photographed, the meter reading is listed by rollback detection, and the unit can be inspected live before payment. The sale is structured CIF from Shanghai with the full export documentation pack included.

Engine and Powertrain: CAT C7.1 ACERT

Propulsion is handled by the CAT C7.1 ACERT, which develops 156 kW (209 HP) in this configuration. The unit complies with Tier 3 / China Stage III, and the engine serial is documented against the chassis plate. The Full Hydrostatic delivers drive power, and the 1100 hour reading is listed by ECU scan rather than by the dashboard alone. Engine oil analysis is included in the inspection record for this machine.

Digging Performance: Depth, Reach and Breakout

The Caterpillar 330D2L is documented for 4.68 m of dig depth, 7.24 m of reach and 68 kN of bucket force at 34.3 MPa pressure. With the 1.8 m³ bucket fitted and a swing rate of 11.5 rpm, the machine holds a steady production cycle in bulk and trench work. Hydraulic pressures are logged per function in the inspection report, and the values are confirmed against the OEM spec sheet.

Track Running Gear: Shoes, Length and Pressure

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 32 Tons working weight across a longer footprint.

Operator Station and Routine Checks

The cab is the ROPS / FOPS documented enclosed cab with air conditioning, and the operator environment is set up for sustained production. Fuel capacity is 410 L, and ground clearance of 440 mm handles rough site conditions. The machine is checked for control function, lighting and service access during the inspection. These are the daily-use details that show up on the first week of operation.
