In the second-hand excavator market, many brands compete with each other, and each brand has its unique advantages and charm, which together constitute a rich and diverse market pattern. This article mainly introduces the best-selling used excavators in the second-hand market

Best-Selling Used Excavators Brand: Caterpillar

Caterpillar is a leader in the field of excavators, and its excavators are deeply rooted in people’s hearts because of its ultimate pursuit of quality. Compared with other brands, it has obvious advantages under heavy-load conditions. It can still maintain stable performance output under high-intensity working environments, thus winning praise for being “durable” and “capable of both rough and fine work”. The following is an introduction to the best-selling second-hand Caterpillar models.

1. Caterpillar 320D:A classic

Caterpillar 320D is a classic model among excavators. Since the D series excavators were launched in 2006, the product has won the single-machine sales champion in the market many times. After years of market testing, it is still enduring and is a well-deserved “sales king”. Its excellence is reflected in many aspects. From the perspective of the power system, the engine runs stably and can continuously provide reliable power output both at the startup stage and during long-term operation.

The design of its hydraulic system is also very sophisticated. The tacit cooperation between various hydraulic components allows the excavator to perform operations such as excavation, lifting, and rotation smoothly and efficiently. Moreover, its failure rate is extremely low, which greatly reduces the maintenance time and cost of the equipment and improves the equipment’s attendance rate. Users generally evaluate it as “tough”, “durable”, and “capable of both heavy and light work”. The engine configuration of the Caterpillar 320D excavator is relatively rich, with two models: electronic injection and direct injection, which generally need to be queried by serial number.

2. Caterpillar 320C: Market darling

After the Caterpillar 320B was discontinued in 2001, Caterpillar launched the third-generation product 320C, which has a very high market share in the current second-hand market. In terms of its structural strength, the key parts of the fuselage are made of high-strength steel, and after special processing technology, it can withstand high-intensity operations in harsh environments such as mining construction.

Its power transmission system is extremely efficient and can efficiently transmit the power of the engine to each actuator to ensure efficient excavation operations. It was produced from 2001 to 2005. Although it has been discontinued for more than ten years, it is very popular in the second-hand car market. Many users specifically look for it for mining construction and even have inventory shortages.

3.Caterpillar 336D: Efficient choice

The Caterpillar 336D excavator uses the Cat C9 engine with ACERT technology, which combines strong power with an efficient hydraulic system. This advanced technology combination enables the engine to output appropriate power under different working conditions to avoid power waste. The hydraulic system has a fast response speed and high operating precision, which can meet various complex construction requirements.

Compared with the previous generation of models, fuel consumption can be reduced by up to 9%. In today’s increasingly tight energy situation, this is undoubtedly a huge advantage and has a good reputation in the market. The current market price of new machines is around US$300,000, and the second-hand price is about half of the new machine. The specific price depends on factors such as working time and performance.

Best-Selling Used Excavators: Komatsu

In addition to Caterpillar, Komatsu excavators are also popular in the second-hand market. Komatsu excavators are known for their efficient operating performance and excellent stability.

1.Komatsu PC200-8: Medium-sized model

Komatsu PC200-8 is a relatively classic medium-sized excavator, which is very common in the second-hand market. It adopts a high-pressure common rail fuel injection system and can choose the fast mode “P” or the economic mode “E” according to the operating needs, with good fuel economy. Its whole machine’s working weight is about 19.9 tons, the bucket capacity is 0.8 cubic meters, and it is equipped with a six-cylinder direct injection turbocharged engine with a rated power of 110kW/rpm. Whether in earthwork or general construction, it has a good performance, relatively fast movement, and good comfort.

2.Komatsu PC360-7: Large main force

Komatsu PC360-7 is a large excavator, suitable for large earthwork, mining, and other operating scenarios. This model has a solid structure and strong power. Its hydraulic system has excellent performance and can ensure high working efficiency. In the second-hand market, it is favored by many users due to its reliability and strong working capacity. The working weight is about 33 tons and the bucket capacity is about 1.6 cubic meters.

Best-Selling Used Excavators: Hitachi

Hitachi excavators also have a place in the second-hand market. The characteristic of Hitachi excavators is their intelligent control system, which can automatically adjust the parameters of the equipment according to different working conditions so that the equipment is always in the best working condition.

Hitachi ZX200 – 3G: Cost-effective choice

As Hitachi’s medium-sized excavator, Hitachi ZX200 – 3G has a high cost-effectiveness. Its hydraulic system adopts advanced technology, flexible operation, and smooth movement. The engine performance is stable and the fuel consumption is relatively low. In the second-hand market, this model has a high ownership and is relatively convenient for maintenance. The working weight of the whole machine is about 20 tons, and the bucket capacity is about 0.9 cubic meters.

Abschluss

In summary, whether it is Caterpillar, Komatsu Hitachi, or other brands of excavators, they have become popular choices for customers in the second-hand excavator market with their respective advantages and good reputations accumulated over the years. These models can show excellent performance in different working scenarios and needs and are the best choice in the second-hand excavator market.
