This Caterpillar 316EL is a crawler excavator — also commonly called a digger — a type of heavy construction machine used for earthmoving, trenching, site preparation, demolition, and a wide range of digging and material-handling tasks. Caterpillar is one of the world's most widely recognised manufacturers of heavy equipment, serving construction, mining, infrastructure, and industrial sectors across the globe.
This used example was built in 2014 and is located in Washington, USA, priced at $119,500. It has accumulated 3,735 hours, placing it in a working but moderate-use bracket for a machine of this age.
The excavator is equipped with auxiliary hydraulics, which enables it to run hydraulically powered attachments such as breakers, compactors, or grapples beyond a standard bucket. A thumb attachment and a pin grabber are also available with this machine. The thumb pairs with the bucket to grip irregular material — timber, rock, debris, or demolition spoil — making it significantly more versatile for sorting and handling tasks. The pin grabber coupler allows for quick changeover between compatible attachments, adding further flexibility on site.
