Product Details

This 2005 Caterpillar 325C excavator presents remarkably well-maintained original factory paint with consistent color integrity and minimal weathering. The exterior shows only superficial wear marks, confirming careful storage and proper maintenance throughout its service life. All original decals remain clearly visible with no signs of structural repairs or corrosion damage. The main frame, boom, and stick maintain excellent alignment with factory welds intact. This well-preserved machine demonstrates superior durability and offers reliable performance for various construction applications. Ideal for buyers seeking authentic, unmodified equipment with proven longevity.

This Caterpillar 325C excavator features its original, high-quality undercarriage, engineered for exceptional durability in demanding conditions. The track chains, rollers, and idlers retain over 80% of their original service life, with minimal wear on pins, bushings, and shoes. The triple-bar grouser design ensures superior traction and stability on rough terrain, while sealed components resist dust and debris ingress.

This Caterpillar 325C is powered by its original factory-installed CAT 3066 engine, renowned for robust performance and exceptional durability. Maintaining strong compression and minimal smoke emission, the engine delivers consistent power for digging, lifting, and loading operations. With well-preserved internal components and clean exhaust output, it achieves optimal fuel efficiency even under heavy workloads. The engine has undergone regular servicing with documented records, ensuring reliability and lower long-term operating costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why do some used excavators need repainting?
A: Repainting a used excavator generally occurs in the following situations:
1. Exterior aging due to extended use
2. Exterior damage caused by special operating conditions such as mines and tunnels
3. Equipment that has been in an accident and requires repair
(Painting is primarily for protection and visual enhancement and does not necessarily indicate a condition problem.)

2. How can I determine the true year of production of the excavator?
A: Every excavator has multiple stamps (Vehicle Identification Number, Parts Number, Year of Production, etc.). Common locations include: cab, glass, fuel tank, engine, boom, arm, swing motor, etc. Typically, there are more than ten stamps that can be cross-checked to avoid misrepresenting the year of production.

3. How can I identify the model of the excavator?
A: The model number is generally composed of numbers and letters:
The number represents the tonnage, such as "200" for approximately 20 tons. Letters:
H: Reinforced/Heavy Duty (with enhanced protective gear);
L: Longer (longer chassis with one or two additional road wheels);
LC: Longer and Wider (suitable for wetland operations, with increased load-bearing capacity);
W: Wheeled Equipment.

IV. How to Assess the Value of Used Excavator?
A: Consider the following key factors:
1. Age: Identify the year by the stamped number and accessories.
2. Operating Condition: Has it been used under high-intensity conditions such as mines and tunnels for extended periods?
3. Wear of Key Components: The performance of core components such as the engine, hydraulic pump, and motor.
4. Appearance and Maintenance: Check for signs of accidents and timely maintenance.
5. Maintenance: Check for proper maintenance procedures and smooth operation.

V. Is Painted Excavator Always Not Worth Buying?
A: Not.
Refurbishing equipment due to appearance aging or minor damage will not affect core performance. However, caution is advised if the paint is applied to conceal signs of an accident or serious damage. It's recommended to make a comprehensive assessment based on the stamp number, maintenance records, and performance testing.

VI. What should you pay attention to when purchasing a used device?
A: 1. Don't just look at the appearance; pay attention to the operating condition of the device's core components.
2. Carefully verify the stamp number to avoid product substitution or misrepresentation of the year.
3. Observe for obvious welding or splicing marks.
4. Verify that the device has been thoroughly conditioned, preferably with a test report.
