Below are manufacturer-published nominal specifications. Actual measured values for this unit are in the inspection report. We verify all critical values against the machine on inspection.
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 150-point inspection report is the primary trust document for this purchase. It is shared as a PDF on inquiry — no registration, no gated download. Major findings, wear measurements, ECM screenshots, and the grading decision are all visible.
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.

2021 Caterpillar 320 GC with just 2,400 verified operating hours, sourced from a single owner in the Shanghai metropolitan region. This is the GC (general construction) variant of the next-generation 320 platform — built for cost-conscious contractors who want modern Cat fuel economy without the premium of the full 320 specification. The unit is in essentially fleet-new mechanical condition.
Cat C4.4 Stage V emissions engine, 0.93m³ general-purpose bucket, 21-tonne operating weight. The GC platform sacrifices some of the high-end electronics and joystick configurations of the standard 320 to hit a more competitive price point — but the core powertrain and undercarriage are identical Cat hardware.
Grade A. With under 2,500 hours the machine is barely run-in. All major systems test perfectly: engine compression to spec, hydraulics cycle within Cat published times, undercarriage is essentially unworn. Cabin in mint condition with the full Cat warranty paperwork still in the seat pocket. Available for buyer inspection at the Shanghai yard by appointment.
The 320 GC is a sweet-spot purchase: you get the latest-generation Cat 20-tonne platform at roughly 70% of a full-spec 320 price. For contractors who do not need the advanced operator electronics or Cat Connect telematics, the GC delivers the same Caterpillar engineering pedigree and parts ecosystem at meaningful savings.
Buyers in markets with strong Cat dealer support who prioritize total-cost-of-ownership over flagship features. Strong fit for Nigeria, Kenya, Egypt, UAE, and Mexico construction contractors. Ideal first-machine purchase for buyers entering the Cat brand family.
Available FOB Shanghai. Container shipping (40HQ with boom removed) recommended at 21-tonne weight. Transit estimates: Lagos 30 days, Manila 13 days, Jeddah 25 days, Veracruz 22 days. CIF quotes within 24 hours including SONCAP / SABER / PVoC where applicable.
The 320 is Cat's full-spec 20-tonne machine with the C4.4 ACERT engine, advanced operator electronics, Cat Connect telematics, and a premium cabin. The 320 GC uses the same C4.4 engine in a simpler control package — same digging force and reliability, fewer screens and adjustability options. The price difference new is typically 25-30%, and the same gap holds in the used market.
Single-owner machine from a private contractor who scaled down operations mid-2025. Service history is complete and available with the inspection report.
Yes, the C4.4 in this unit is the Stage V tier engine. Documentation provided for markets that enforce equivalent standards.
