About · Caterpillar 302

Overview

The Caterpillar 302 is a mini-excavator with an operating weight of 2,200 kg and an engine output of 19 hp. It is equipped with a bucket capacity of 0.05 m3, placing it firmly in the compact excavator segment suited to confined and weight-sensitive working environments. The machine carries the engineering and brand backing associated with the Caterpillar product line within this competitive class.

Typical applications

Where this machine is used

Mini-excavators in the 2,200 kg class are well suited to residential construction, landscaping, utility trenching, and site preparation work where access is restricted. Their compact footprint allows operation in urban environments, interior demolition projects, and alongside structures where larger equipment cannot maneuver. The 0.05 m3 bucket capacity is appropriate for precise digging and material handling tasks rather than high-volume earthmoving.

Used-market inspection

What to check before buying

When inspecting a used mini-excavator of this class, buyers should assess undercarriage wear on tracks, rollers, and sprockets, as these components represent a meaningful portion of ongoing ownership costs. The condition of the boom, arm, and bucket pins and bushings warrants close examination, particularly for signs of excessive play or inadequate lubrication history. Engine hours should be verified against service records where available, and hydraulic function across all circuits, including swing, travel, and attachment circuits, should be tested under load. A review of maintenance documentation and any available inspection reports is advisable before committing to purchase.

Current market

Price position

The European market average for the Caterpillar 302 stands at EUR 94,513, with a typical price range spanning EUR 29,400 to EUR 163,000 depending on age, condition, and specification. This range reflects significant variation across the used-equipment market for this model. Buyers evaluating the 302 will also encounter comparable units from Komatsu in the form of the PC20 and from Yanmar with the SV22, both of which compete directly in the same weight and power class.
