Used Caterpillar 345GC Excavator for Sale

The Caterpillar 345GC in the 44 Tons Class: Overview

The Caterpillar 345GC at 1100 hours is presented as a 44 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.

Power Unit and Drivetrain Details

Propulsion is handled by the CAT C9.3 ACERT, which develops 258 kW (346 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

Work figures for this Caterpillar 345GC: 4.68 m maximum dig depth, 7.24 m of reach, and 68 kN of bucket force with the system at 34.3 MPa. The 2.5 m³ bucket matches the machine's rated envelope, and swing rate of 11.5 rpm supports continuous loading cycles. Every hydraulic function is pressure-tested in the audit, and the measured values are recorded with dated photos in the file.

Track Running Gear: Shoes, Length and Pressure

The crawler system on this Caterpillar 345GC is 450 mm of shoe width over 3.65 m of track, with ground pressure at 32 kPa. The audit logs the undercarriage as Good condition, healthy links and bushings (450 mm shoes) and measures the remaining wear on links, bushings, rollers and idlers with dated photos. Track adjustment is listed before listing. This is the package that carries the 44 Tons working weight on soft ground.

Where This Caterpillar 345GC Works Best

The Caterpillar 345GC is configured for mining and quarry and port work, and HMP has active sales into Africa, Latin America and Middle East for this machine class. The 2.5 m³ bucket and the 44 Tons platform match the standard duty cycles, and the inspection file documents the machine's condition for buyers who cannot fly to the yard. The machine can be shown live on video, and the written quote is confirmed after your enquiry is reviewed.

The HMP unit-specific inspection and What Ships in the File

The Caterpillar 345GC ships with the dated HMP unit-specific inspection file: twelve pages of photographed and measured checks covering the engine, pumps, cylinder rods, swing bearing, undercarriage and the hour meter itself. The 1100 reading is backed by the hour-meter evidence, where available. A live video walk-around is arranged after your enquiry is reviewed, and third-party inspection can be booked at the yard if required.

Maintenance History and Service Discipline

This Caterpillar 345GC at 1100 hours carries a documented service record. The audit file logs the oil and coolant analysis, filter service and fluid levels, with date-stamped photos of each check. The maintenance history is part of the sale package, so the buyer knows exactly what was done at the yard before the machine was listed.

Pre-Purchase Checklist for the Caterpillar 345GC

Before committing to this Caterpillar 345GC, confirm: the hour reading of 1100 hours against the hour-meter evidence, where available, the engine serial against the chassis plate, the dated inspection photos, and the CIF quotation for your port. The live walk-around is arranged after your enquiry is reviewed, and the rate is held for seven days while you complete your checks.

Value Position of the Caterpillar 345GC

A machine at 1100 hours has absorbed the heaviest early depreciation while the CAT C9.3 ACERT power unit stays inside its major overhaul window. That is the value position of this Caterpillar 345GC: production capacity in the 44 Tons class at a price well below new-unit pricing, with the condition documented in the inspection file rather than left to a broker's description.

The Caterpillar 345GC in Continuous Production

In continuous production, the Caterpillar 345GC holds a steady cycle: the swing speed of 11.5 rpm and the 2.5 m³ bucket keep trucks cycling without waiting, and the 4.68 m dig depth covers trenching and bulk work alike. The 68 kN bucket force and the reach of 7.24 m handle the geometry of most sites, and the machine is demonstrated in these cycles on the walk-around video before payment.
