This Caterpillar M316D is a wheeled excavator — sometimes called a wheel digger — a versatile earthmoving machine designed for digging, trenching, material handling, and grading work across construction, civil engineering, and utility projects. Unlike crawler excavators, wheeled excavators travel on rubber tyres, making them well suited to road work and urban environments where surface damage must be minimised and rapid relocation between sites is an advantage. Caterpillar is one of the world's most established manufacturers of heavy construction and earthmoving equipment, supplying machinery to the construction, mining, infrastructure, and energy sectors globally.
This example was built in 2009 and has an operating weight of 18,200 kg. It is powered by a four-cylinder CAT engine producing 123 kW, providing the hydraulic and tractive capacity expected of a machine in this weight class.
The excavator is equipped with a slope bucket, which is used for grading, profiling embankments, and finishing earthworks to a clean angle rather than digging a vertical face. It also features a blade and stabilisers — the blade assists with levelling and material management at the front, while the stabilisers extend to the ground at the rear to anchor the machine firmly during excavating operations. A complete hydraulic system is fitted, and a reversing camera is installed to assist with safe manoeuvring.
The seller describes the machine as being in very good working condition and notes that it has recently been imported. The machine is currently located in Romania. The displayed price does not include VAT.
