How buying works

  1. 01Inquire. Choose your machine and send us a message or give us a call. We'll get back to you as soon as we can.
  2. 02Confirmation. We check the digger's availability against your requirements, including any customisation you've asked for, and confirm how long it will take to get it to you.
  3. 0310% deposit. A holding deposit of 10% secures the machine before we ship it. Total time is typically 6 to 8 weeks from deposit to arrival at your door, confirmed with you in person and in writing.
  4. 04Balance on delivery. Pay the remaining 90% when we hand the machine over.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between a Cat 312 and a Cat 313 excavator?

The 312 is an 11 to 12 tonne digger; the 313 is 13 to 14 tonnes, digs deeper and carries a larger bucket. A Cat 312GC weighs about 11.6 tonnes and digs to 5.08 metres, compared with roughly 13.8 tonnes and 6.04 metres for a 313GC.

How do the Cat 320 and 323 compare?

Both weigh around 21 to 22 tonnes. The 323 makes up to 124 kW against 109 kW for the 320 and has a larger maximum bucket capacity.

How many hours is too many on a used Cat excavator?

We cap listed machines at 6,000 hours; most have 2,000 to 5,000. Undercarriage and hydraulic condition tell you more than the hour meter.

What should I check before buying a used Cat excavator?

Hours, undercarriage wear and hydraulics matter more than age. We clean and inspect every machine before import, then a qualified engineer inspects and signs it off before shipping.

How long does delivery take once I buy?

About 6 to 8 weeks from a 10% deposit to the machine arriving at your door, with the balance due on delivery.
