Product Description

A 345GC excavator was found in the yard. There are scattered surface rust spots on the track links—this is normal and no cause for concern; the drive sprockets and idlers are in good condition, and the grease fittings are all present and easily accessible. There is no working leaks, no wetness under the boom or stick, all hoses in the engine bay are of the black rubber variety with the normal grime on them (no cracks or bulges observed), and the control valve (in the engine bay) is clean, no labels off the fittings, which implies someone was at least mindful about things. The cat power plant (engine) is the cat and valve house looks dry, no oil leakage around valve cover, while exhaust manifold and turbo housing have heavy corrosion, but not to the detriment of the ship as it has been looked at twice as it sits outside or near water, not to mention its not poisonous.The engine (cat power plant) is the cat and the valve house is dry with no oil leakage around the cover but there is heavy rust (not good but pretty common for a cat sitting outside or near water, checking this twice to make sure it’s not structural). Clean debris around radiator, all fins are fine, and there’s no debris packed there either, the AC condenser is in the cooling package too and though it looks fine and I didn’t notice any hydraulic pump weepage or anything like that when I took the car apart under the dash, I looked one more time and saw the old dust and dirt, nothing fresh or wet.

The cab is surprisingly clean for a working machine, operator seat is still in a decent shape, not any big rips etc. in the decladding, floor shows some signs of dirt but nothing crazy, ceiling shows no signs of any smoking or trash stuck in the ceiling, windows are clean (no cracks), joysticks have the yellow accent trim which made me laugh because every operator leaves something random behind, there’s also a red rag hanging in there. Standard 5 general duty, bucket has full 5 teeth, they do have wear, the cutting lip has some areas where the paint has worn off, as expected, there is dirt residue on the inside of the bucket, but nothing unusual to indicate cracks or stress fractures in those areas was observed and the inside pins seem secure. Engine bay has the “CAT DEO” sticker and all labels and warnings can be read, hood opens smoothly and doesn’t have a problem with clogged louvers.  Boom and stick are not choppy and no funny noises during extension and retraction of cylinders, as far as my eyes can see no signs of rod scoring. Under this dull, gloomy, threatening to rain condition I didn’t do test digging but I gave it a pretty thorough look and it appears that it is a very good working machine that has been maintained fairly well, although not a lot, and not any different from that way.

Picked up one 2025 CAT 320D2 for a highway expansion job we just won out in Texas. Was worried about the hours being rolled back because you see that everywhere now but our shop foreman plugged in the laptop and ECM matched the dash exactly. Good solid iron.

My guys have been running the Volvo EC210D we got off here for about 400 hours now. Zero downtime. The inspection report noted a slight weep on the bucket cylinder which I appreciated Equipment auditors on the machdealers platform telling me upfront. Repacked the cylinder for $150 and it's been making us money ever since.

Load a lot of containers for West Africa out of different ports. Best thing about machdealers platform is they get the export docs right the first time. Commercial invoice, packing list, title. No delays at Jebel Ali Port Customs. Bought 4 KOMATSU PC200-8 from them so far.

We run a basalt quarry site in Central Ethiopia, we needed a 36 ton heavy excavator that can run 24/7 loading rock. Found a used KOMATSU PC 350 on here, after 3 weeks non stop continuous operation on site, engine temperature stayed normal all the time. That machine takes so much beating on our rocky ground, no issues at all. Exactly the tough workhorse we needed.

The shipment from korea to Uganda took a little over four weeks, slightly longer than I was initially told, but the platform sent me weekly photo updates showing the machine's location on the ship, so I never worried about losing money. The machine arrived in perfect condition, and the short wait was worthwhile. Overall, I'm very satisfied.

We found a Volvo EC240 excavator at a very good price for our new residential project. The seller even uploaded complete maintenance records from the previous owner, saving us the cost of hiring an independent inspector and flying in to check the machine's condition. This alone saved us over $800 in travel expenses.

The team here truly understands the procurement process of construction companies—they won't bombard you with sales calls after you submit an inquiry, but will send you the specifications, prices, and inspection documents you require within an hour. 10/10, they will be our first choice for all future upgrades and replacements of our excavator fleet.

    I’m a one man show doing septic tanks and grading. Rented forever until I found a Kubota U35 here. Wth financing rates right now I needed a cash deal. Got a great price. Rubber tracks are almost new. Starts every morning no problem.
