This Caterpillar 318C is a wheeled excavator — sometimes called a wheel digger — a rubber-tyred machine designed for digging, trenching, grading, and material handling across a wide range of construction and civil engineering applications. Caterpillar is one of the world's most widely recognised manufacturers of heavy construction equipment, serving sectors including earthmoving, infrastructure, mining, and utilities. Unlike tracked excavators, wheeled excavators can travel on public roads under their own power, making them particularly well suited to urban worksites and multi-location projects.
This machine was manufactured in 2003 and is offered in used condition. The seller reports it has covered 9,700 machine hours and describes it as fully operational and suitable for continued use. It is currently located in Poland, and a VAT invoice is available with the sale.
The excavator is equipped with a hydraulic quick coupler, which allows attachments to be changed rapidly without manual pinning. It comes with two buckets: a hydraulic grading bucket (also described as a slope or ditching bucket) designed for finishing, profiling, and bank work, and a second unspecified bucket — giving the buyer versatility across different tasks from the outset. A front dozer blade (plough) is also fitted, enabling light grading, backfilling, and site levelling directly from the cab. Four stabiliser legs (outriggers/supports) are included, providing the machine with a stable working platform when stationary, which is standard practice for wheeled excavators during lifting and precise digging operations.
The listing price is €42,360 net, and the seller notes that part-exchange is considered.
