Used Caterpillar 320 Excavator: Sell or Buy at Auction

Caterpillar is the world's largest manufacturer of construction and mining equipment, and a major producer of diesel and gas engines and industrial generators. Cat equipment is the most recognizable heavy equipment brand globally, with unmatched parts availability and dealer network creating extremely liquid used equipment markets.

The Caterpillar 320 is a 20 metric ton class hydraulic excavator, the machine that has arguably defined the mid-size class more than any other on the market. It pairs a Cat diesel in the 150 horsepower class with a standard bucket of roughly 1 to 1.5 cubic yards and a standard-stick digging depth in the 22 foot range, giving crews the reach and breakout force for trenching, mass excavation, grading, and truck loading without the transport hassle of a 30 ton machine. General contractors, utility and pipeline crews, and site development firms buy the 320 for its balance of digging power, reach, and fuel economy, while equipment dealers and exporters bid it up for the parts commonality and resale liquidity few competing platforms can match. Several generations circulate in the used market, from the early 320 and 320L through the 320B, 320C, 320D, and 320D2, the 320E, and the current Next Gen 320 and 320 GC, so serial number, hour meter, and configuration are verified before every sale to make clear exactly which machine a bidder is getting. A well kept 320 with low hours, a tight undercarriage, and documented service history draws fast, competitive bidding through KD Auctions' network of 500,000+ industry contacts, spanning domestic contractors and international dealers and exporters alike.
