Mechanically sound · cosmetic wear disclosed. Sourced from 重庆市, China. 20 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 320GC1 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 2018 Caterpillar 320GC1 excavator, with 8,868 verified hours, is sourced from our yard in Chongqing, China. It is a Grade B machine, meaning it has visible wear and minor repairs but is fully operational. The 32.0-ton unit features an OEM engine and is ready for export to markets requiring reliable mid-size excavators for earthmoving and construction tasks.
Powered by a Caterpillar OEM engine, the 320GC1 delivers 148 hp and meets Stage IIIA emission standards. It has a standard bucket capacity of 1.0 m³ and an operating weight of 32.0 t. Key components include a robust hydraulic system with a variable displacement piston pump, swing motor, and travel motors. The undercarriage shows 70% remaining on track links and rollers. The boom and arm have no major structural repairs.
Grade B: This machine has been inspected and is in fair condition. There is visible paint wear and minor dents on the boom and counterweight. The engine and hydraulics have no leaks, but the air conditioner needs recharging. The bucket has 60% remaining edge thickness. All functions operate normally, but cosmetically it shows its working history. No major component replacements were reported.
The Caterpillar 320GC1 is a popular choice for export due to its balance of power, fuel efficiency, and durability. The GC series is designed for general construction, offering lower operating costs than the standard 320. For buyers in Africa, SE Asia, and Latin America, this model has strong dealer support and parts availability. Its 32-ton class makes it versatile for trenching, loading, and site preparation. The Grade B pricing allows for a lower entry cost while still providing reliable performance for medium-duty applications.
Ideal for general earthmoving, road construction, and utility projects. Particularly suitable for buyers in Nigeria, Indonesia, and Peru where mid-size excavators are in demand for infrastructure development. The 1.0 m³ bucket is effective for loading trucks and excavating trenches.
