Mechanically sound · cosmetic wear disclosed. Sourced from 滁州市, China. 19 current photos available; walkaround video and extra angles can be recorded on inquiry.
We do not list specifications we have not personally cross-checked against the Caterpillar 307D OEM brochure for this exact variant. On your inquiry, we send the complete spec sheet (engine power / hydraulic flow / dimensions / dig reach / travel speed / fuel consumption) along with the 150-point inspection report.
We grade by measured fact, not by hope. The bars show our inspector's estimate of remaining service life per major system. Detailed wear photos and OEM-tool readouts are in the inspection report.
The timeline below traces this unit’s known service events. Where source-yard records are incomplete, we reconstruct typical service intervals based on hour count — and disclose this transparently.
First major service interval — engine oil, hydraulic filter, fuel filter replacement.
Mid-life service — coolant flush, final drive oil, swing gear lubrication.
Routine service — air filter, fuel filter, cabin filter, hydraulic oil sample analysis.
ExcaYard 150-point pre-export inspection — engine compression, hydraulic cycle test, undercarriage measurement, ECM data extraction.
The inspection note is shared on inquiry. Major findings, visible wear, current photo set, and any requested extra angles are reviewed before payment.
Some exporters quote low CIF then add discovery fees, doc fees, handling fees, lashing surcharges. Our CIF is the total — only port-side destination charges (controlled by your local broker, not us) are extra.

This 2012 Caterpillar 307D excavator, sourced from our Chuzhou yard in China, shows 11,088 hours on the meter. The machine is graded B, reflecting consistent use and visible wear consistent with its age. Powered by an OEM engine, it remains a reliable workhorse for medium-duty operations. The 30.7-ton weight class suits a range of earthmoving and construction tasks. Exported as-is, it offers a cost-effective entry point for buyers seeking a reputable brand with proven longevity.
The Caterpillar 307D features an OEM engine with documented maintenance history. The standard bucket shows moderate wear but remains functional for general excavation. Operating weight of 30.7 tons provides stability and digging force. Key components including the hydraulic pump, final drives, and swing gear have been inspected; no major leaks or abnormal noises were noted. The undercarriage has approximately 60% remaining life. Overall, the machine presents a balanced package of power and durability for its class.
Grade B: The excavator has visible cosmetic imperfections including paint loss, scratches, and minor dents. The cab interior shows wear on the seat and controls. There is evidence of past repairs on the boom arm, but no structural cracks. The engine starts reliably without smoke, though minor oil seepage is present. Hydraulic functions operate smoothly under load. The buyer should expect typical wear for a machine of this age and hours, and plan for routine maintenance upon arrival.
The Caterpillar 307D is a well-established model with global parts and service support. Its 30.7-ton weight offers a sweet spot between maneuverability and digging power, making it suitable for infrastructure projects, mining support, and general construction. The 2012 model year benefits from proven reliability and a robust dealer network in export markets. For buyers in Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America, this machine provides a familiar platform with accessible spare parts, reducing downtime and operational costs.
Ideal for medium-scale earthmoving, trenching, and site preparation. The 307D performs well in quarry loading, road construction, and utility installation. Particularly suited for markets in Nigeria, Indonesia, and Peru where Caterpillar support is strong and operators are familiar with the model. Its size allows transport on standard lowbed trailers, and it can work in confined urban sites as well as open mining areas.
