This Caterpillar 314E CR is a used crawler excavator — commonly known as a digger — available in New Zealand, priced at $76,515. Crawler excavators are self-contained, tracked machines built for digging, trenching, land clearing, and general earthmoving across construction, civil, and utilities work. Caterpillar is one of the world's most widely recognised manufacturers of heavy construction and mining equipment, with a long-standing reputation for durable, well-supported machinery across global markets.
This machine is described as a 14-tonne class excavator with a low recorded hour count of 1,995.1 hours, and it carries serial number 01473. It has been freshly serviced and is noted as ready for immediate work. The unit features a factory-fitted ROPS cab and a zero-swing configuration, meaning the rear of the machine does not protrude beyond its tracks during slewing — a practical advantage on confined job sites. The seller notes that this machine was Japanese-manufactured, which some buyers regard as a distinguishing quality point.
Undercarriage condition is described as good. The machine has been fitted with new auxiliary hydraulic piping and a new hydraulic quick hitch, allowing for faster and easier attachment changes on site. A rock bucket, as pictured in the listing, is included with the purchase. A range of additional attachments is available separately: a new tilt bucket at $7,500 plus GST, a wide bucket at $4,500 plus GST, a trench bucket at $2,500 plus GST, and a grab bucket at $7,000 plus GST.
The machine is held in the seller's yard in Christchurch, New Zealand, and is available for viewing at their Redwood premises.
