This Caterpillar 312E is a used crawler excavator — commonly called a digger — available in New Zealand and offered at NZD $60,928. Crawler excavators are tracked earthmoving machines used across construction, civil works, landscaping, and utility projects for digging, trenching, grading, and material handling. Caterpillar is one of the world's most widely recognised manufacturers of heavy construction and mining equipment, with a reputation for producing robust, serviceable machines that are well supported globally.
This particular example was built in Japan in 2015 and has accumulated 5,146 hours of use, placing it in a well-worn but workable position for a machine of this age. The undercarriage is reported to be in good condition, and the machine is on-site and described as ready for work.
The excavator is equipped with a dozer blade, extending its versatility for levelling, backfilling, and stabilising on site. It has been fitted with new auxiliary hydraulic piping configured for a tilt bucket or other attachments, and a new hydraulic quick hitch has been installed, making attachment changes straightforward and efficient in the field.
A range of additional buckets is available separately from the seller: a tilt bucket (NZD $7,000 + GST), a wide bucket (NZD $4,000 + GST), a trench bucket (NZD $2,000 + GST), and a grab bucket (NZD $7,000 + GST), offering buyers the option to acquire a versatile attachment package alongside the machine.
