Questions we are asked
Questions buyers ask us about this particular CAT 345GC.
About the CAT 345GC
How reliable is a used CAT 345GC?+
Yes. The GC line was built to be simpler and cheaper to run than the top specification machines, which suits a buyer who wants output rather than electronics. At 871 hours it is barely started.
Where would a CAT 345GC earn its keep?+
Mass excavation, mining support and large civil earthworks, where the volume moved per hour is what decides whether the job makes money.
Is servicing a CAT 345GC difficult?+
Cat parts availability is the reason many buyers choose the brand at this size, and the GC line deliberately uses simpler systems that a local workshop can service.
Can you prove the hours on the CAT 345GC?+
It reads 871 hours. Ask us and we will send a picture of the display along with the undercarriage, which on a machine this size is the expensive item to check.
Can I still buy this CAT 345GC?+
Yes. Large excavators move more slowly than twenty tonners, but at this price it is worth confirming with us rather than assuming.
Price and payment
What are you asking for the CAT 345GC?+
USD 125,000 FOB Qingdao, as is. Forty three tonne machines carry a different price bracket entirely from the twenty ton class, and this reflects the size.
Is USD 125,000 a good price for a CAT 345GC?+
Large excavators depreciate hard in the first few years even when the hours are low, and that depreciation is what you are buying into at USD 125,000.
What is the payment process for the CAT 345GC?+
Payment on this machine goes to Beaumont Investment Group, LLC in the United States, which gives you an American company to verify before you transfer anything.
Can you source a second CAT 345GC?+
Yes. Large Caterpillar excavators are among the machines we are asked for most, and we buy them continuously rather than occasionally.
Shipping the CAT 345GC
Can the CAT 345GC travel in a container?+
A forty three tonne excavator ships on a flat rack or a bulk vessel, and the boom and arm come off for transport. We handle that preparation before loading.
Can you quote shipping on the CAT 345GC to my port?+
Freight on a forty three tonne machine is a serious figure and it varies by route, so we quote against live rates rather than publish a number that would mislead you.
Checking it before you buy
Can I get extra pictures of this CAT 345GC?+
Yes. On a machine this size the undercarriage and the boom pins are what matter, and we will photograph both properly along with anything else you name.
Can I send an inspector to look at the CAT 345GC?+
Yes. On a machine at this price an independent inspection is money well spent, and we give inspectors full access at the yard.
What are the alternatives to the CAT 345GC in your stock?+
If forty three tonnes is more machine than the job needs, we hold twenty ton class excavators at a fraction of the price. Describe the work and we will size it.
