This Caterpillar 235B is a used crawler excavator — also commonly referred to as a digger — a heavy earthmoving machine designed for digging, trenching, material handling, and demolition across construction, mining, and civil engineering applications. Caterpillar is one of the world's most recognised manufacturers of construction and mining equipment, known for producing robust, long-lasting machines that are widely supported by a global parts and service network.
Built in 1987 and currently located in Mexico, this machine is reported to be undergoing maintenance at the time of listing. Power comes from a Caterpillar 3306A diesel engine fitted with a turbocharger, providing the forced-induction performance characteristic of that engine family. The 3306A is a well-established inline six-cylinder diesel unit that Caterpillar used across a range of its heavy equipment during this era.
As a crawler excavator, the machine travels on steel tracks, giving it stable footing on uneven or soft ground — a key advantage in demanding job-site conditions. Prospective buyers should note that, as the unit is currently in maintenance, they are encouraged to verify the full mechanical status and scope of any work being carried out prior to purchase.
