When requesting a valuation for a CAT excavator, useful information includes:

Exact model
Year of manufacture
Recorded operating hours
Undercarriage condition
Boom and dipper condition
Hydraulic performance
Bucket and attachment configuration
Any known engine or hydraulic faults

You can also visit our main excavator and digger buyers page if you are selling excavators from several manufacturers.

Sell CAT Dozers & Bulldozers

Caterpillar bulldozers are widely used for bulk earthmoving, site preparation, quarry work and heavy civil engineering.

We consider working machines as well as older or high-hour dozers with wear to the undercarriage, blade, hydraulics or cab.

If you are selling other tracked earthmoving equipment, see our dozer buying service.

Sell CAT Wheel Loaders

CAT wheel loaders are used in quarries, recycling facilities, construction sites, aggregate yards and industrial operations.

We consider machines with a wide range of bucket sizes, operating hours and specifications.

See our wheel loader buyers page if you are selling loaders from CAT or other manufacturers.

Sell CAT Articulated Dump Trucks

Caterpillar articulated dump trucks are commonly used for bulk earthmoving, quarry work and major construction projects.

When valuing an ADT, useful details can include:

Model
Year
Working hours
Tyre condition
Body condition
Transmission and drivetrain condition
Any hydraulic or mechanical faults

For other site dumpers and dump equipment, see our dumper buyers page.

CAT Serial Numbers & Machine Identification

When selling used Caterpillar machinery, the machine serial number can help confirm the exact model and specification.

This is especially useful on older machines where decals have faded, panels have been replaced or the exact machine variant is unclear.

If possible, include a clear photograph of the identification plate or serial number when requesting a valuation, together with the model, year and recorded operating hours.

Undercarriage Condition on CAT Excavators & Dozers

On tracked Caterpillar machinery, the condition of the undercarriage can have a major influence on the overall condition and value of the machine.

Useful details include the condition of:

Tracks
Sprockets
Rollers
Idlers
Track chains
Track tension

Photographs of both sides of the undercarriage are particularly useful when selling tracked excavators and bulldozers.

What Work Has the CAT Machine Been Used For?

The type of work a machine has carried out can provide useful context when assessing its overall condition.

For example, machinery used in quarrying, demolition, bulk earthmoving, recycling or civil engineering may experience very different wear patterns from equipment used for lighter general construction work.

Tell us how the machine has typically been used, particularly if it has worked in demanding environments.

CAT Attachments & Work Tools

Attachments supplied with a Caterpillar machine can form an important part of the overall package.

Tell us if the machine includes equipment such as:

Excavator buckets
Grading buckets
Hydraulic breakers
Quick couplers
Loader buckets
Forks
Rippers
Grabs
Specialist work tools

If several attachments are included, provide photographs and details of their condition where possible.

Sell Older or High-Hour CAT Machinery

Caterpillar machinery is often retained in commercial service for many years, so high operating hours do not automatically prevent us from considering a machine.

We can assess equipment with:

High operating hours
Engine faults
Hydraulic problems
Transmission faults
Undercarriage wear
Tyre wear
Cab or body damage
Machines that have been parked up
Non-running condition

For machinery in this condition, see our old, high-hour and non-running machinery buyers page.

Ex-Plant Hire, Quarry & Contractor CAT Machinery

We buy Caterpillar machinery from businesses upgrading or reducing working fleets.

This may include equipment from:

Plant hire companies
Civil engineering firms
Groundworks contractors
Demolition companies
Quarry operators
Recycling businesses
Construction firms
Industrial operators

High hours or visible working wear do not automatically rule out a machine. Specification, maintenance, condition and current demand all matter.

Sell Several CAT Machines or a Complete Plant Fleet

If you are upgrading machinery, closing a site, reducing a hire fleet or disposing of surplus equipment, we can consider several CAT machines together.

For larger disposals, send a list showing:

Make and model
Year
Working hours
Machine condition
Attachments included
Current location
Photographs where available

See our company fleet and bulk equipment buying service for larger disposals involving plant, trucks, vans or mixed commercial assets.

What Affects the Value of Used Caterpillar Machinery?

A CAT machine cannot be valued on age alone. Several factors can affect the overall valuation, including:

Exact model and specification
Year of manufacture
Recorded operating hours
Engine condition
Transmission condition
Hydraulic performance
Undercarriage or tyre condition
Boom, blade or bucket condition
Cab condition
Attachments included
Service and maintenance history
Previous type of work
Current market demand

For more information, see our truck and plant valuation guide.

What Information Should I Send?

Providing accurate details helps us understand exactly what machinery you are selling.

CAT model
Year of manufacture
Operating hours
Serial number where available
Machine specification
Known faults
Undercarriage or tyre condition
Attachments included
Service history where available
Current location
Clear photographs from several angles

Photographs of the cab, hour meter, tracks or tyres, working equipment, identification plate and attachments are all useful.
