About · Caterpillar 287

Overview

The Caterpillar 287 is a skid-steer loader produced by Caterpillar, a manufacturer with an established reputation in the compact construction equipment segment. As a skid-steer, it is designed for high maneuverability in confined working areas, combining a compact footprint with the attachment versatility typical of its class. The machine represents a mid-range option within the used compact loader market.

Typical applications

Where this machine is used

Skid-steer loaders of this type are commonly deployed in construction site preparation, material handling, landscaping, and agricultural yard work. Their ability to accept a wide range of hydraulic attachments, including buckets, augers, and pallet forks, makes them suitable for contractors and operators requiring a single machine to perform multiple tasks. The tight turning radius characteristic of skid-steers makes them particularly effective in restricted or urban work environments.

Used-market inspection

What to check before buying

When inspecting a used skid-steer of this class, buyers should assess the condition of the loader arms, lift cylinders, and hydraulic lines for wear, leaks, or damage. The undercarriage, including drive motors, chains or tracks, and rollers, warrants close attention as these components are subject to significant wear during normal operation. Attachment coupler condition and hydraulic auxiliary flow performance should be verified, and a full service history review is recommended prior to purchase.

Current market

Price position

In the European used equipment market, the Caterpillar 287 is currently positioned at a market average of EUR 12,000, with the observed price range also sitting at EUR 12,000. This pricing reflects the current supply and demand dynamics for this model in the region.
