2023 - Caterpillar 325 Crawler Excavator

About this machine

This Caterpillar 325 is a used crawler excavator — sometimes called a digger or tracked excavator — built for heavy earthmoving, trenching, demolition, and material handling across construction, infrastructure, and civil engineering applications. Caterpillar is one of the world's most widely recognised manufacturers of heavy construction and mining equipment, with a long-established reputation for building robust, high-performance machines that serve contractors, quarry operators, and civil works firms globally. This example was manufactured in 2023, is offered in used condition, and is currently located in Colorado, USA, priced at $240,000.

The machine is configured with a reach boom measuring 18 feet 8 inches paired with a 9-foot 6-inch stick arm, a combination suited to applications requiring extended horizontal reach without sacrificing digging depth. The counterweight is rated at 18,300 lb, providing the ballast necessary to balance the machine during demanding lift and dig cycles. A standard swing frame is fitted, and the machine uses straight travel pedals with a dedicated travel speed change line, allowing the operator to select between travel speeds to suit ground conditions.

The hydraulic system is equipped with the Combined Advanced hydraulic package, and the machine features Grade 2D Assist and Payload capability — an integrated system that supports precision grading work and load monitoring directly from the cab. A quick coupler control is installed, with associated high-pressure lines, quick-connect lines, and drain lines for the coupler system, making it straightforward to swap attachments in the field. Both reach boom and stick are plumbed with high-pressure and quick-connect lines. Fine swing control is also included, enabling smoother, more controlled slewing for precise placement tasks.

Undercarriage protection is thorough: a heavy-duty bottom guard, a heavy-duty travel motor guard, segmented track guide guards, and a standard swivel guard are all fitted. The standard swivel joint is in place, and a boom tube is included. Auxiliary lighting extends to the left-hand boom, right-hand boom, and chassis positions, supplementing the cab lights, which are fitted with rain protectors. A rear sun screen and a radial windscreen wiper are fitted to the cab, and a camera and monitor system is installed to support visibility around the machine.

The cab is equipped with vertical slider joysticks and a joystick steering plus auxiliary relay package. A two-way operating pattern film is posted inside the cab alongside the relevant ROPS, stick warning, and EMC films. Operator comfort features include a drink holder, and access to the online owner's manual is provided. Cold-weather preparation has been carried out, with cold-weather coolant and ether cold-starting capability both specified. The machine also carries storage protection to export specification.

Connectivity is handled by a PLE643/PLE743 radio-based Product Link unit with an A6N1 Network Manager, enabling fleet telematics and remote monitoring. The integrated radio does not include DAB. Exterior ANSI decals are applied, and the machine's instruction set is in English. This machine holds Cat Certified Used status, indicating it has been assessed against Caterpillar's certification standards prior to sale.
