Questions we are asked
Questions buyers ask us about this particular CAT 305.5E.
About the CAT 305.5E
Is the CAT 305.5E worth buying second hand?+
Yes. The 305.5E is one of the most popular five tonne machines ever built, it is Japanese made, and 428 hours is nothing on a mini excavator.
What jobs does the CAT 305.5E handle best?+
Working in gardens, alleys, small foundations and utility trenches where a full size machine simply will not fit. The blade lets it grade and backfill behind itself.
Where do I get spare parts for a CAT 305.5E?+
Mini excavator parts for the Cat 300 series are widely available, and the machine is simple enough that a competent local workshop can look after it.
How do I know the hours shown on the CAT 305.5E is real?+
It shows 428 hours. Mini excavators often get worked hard in short bursts, so ask for pictures of the blade, the rubber and the boom pins as well as the meter.
Can I buy the CAT 305.5E today?+
Yes, it is in the Mohammedia yard. You are welcome to come and see it, and mini excavators are easy to view because we can move them around the yard.
Price and payment
What is the price of this CAT 305.5E?+
MAD 235,000 as is, standing in Mohammedia with the douane already settled at 2026. The price covers the machine and there is nothing to ship.
Why is this CAT 305.5E priced lower than a dealer machine?+
Small Japanese machines hold their value well, so MAD 235,000 for a Cat at 428 hours is competitive rather than cheap, and it comes cleared and ready to work.
Who receives payment for the CAT 305.5E?+
This one stands in Morocco, so it is sold and invoiced by Omega Machines, paid in full and collected. There is no shipping stage to arrange.
Do you get CAT 305.5E machines in often?+
Yes. Mini excavators pass through both yards regularly, and we can look for a particular size or a machine with specific attachments.
Shipping the CAT 305.5E
What is the best way to ship a CAT 305.5E overseas?+
There is nothing to ship on this one, since it stands in Mohammedia and you collect it. If you want it moved within Morocco we can arrange the transport.
What will freight on the CAT 305.5E come to?+
There is no sea freight on this machine. If you want it delivered inside Morocco we will price the road transport alongside it.
Checking it before you buy
Can you send video of the CAT 305.5E running?+
Yes. Come and see it in Mohammedia if you prefer, or tell us what to photograph and we will send pictures the same day.
Can somebody check the CAT 305.5E on my behalf?+
Yes. Mohammedia is a short drive from Casablanca, so come and see it yourself, or send somebody who knows machines to look on your behalf.
Do you have anything similar to the CAT 305.5E?+
If five tonnes is too small for the work, we hold larger excavators in both yards. Tell us the depth and reach you need and we will point you at the right size.
