The Caterpillar 318 is a 20-tonne class hydraulic excavator rated at 117 hp and an operating weight of 19,206 kg. It is equipped with a bucket capacity of 0.91 m3, positioning it firmly in the mid-size excavator segment. As a Caterpillar product, it carries the brand's established reputation for drivetrain durability and dealer support coverage across European markets.
Mid-size excavators in this weight class are suited to foundation excavation, utility trenching, road construction, and bulk earthmoving on medium-scale civil and infrastructure projects. The combination of reach, lift capacity, and bucket volume makes machines of this type productive in both confined urban sites and open-ground applications. They are also regularly deployed in demolition support and pipeline installation work.
When inspecting a used Caterpillar 318, buyers should assess undercarriage wear on track shoes, rollers, and idlers, as these components represent a significant portion of refurbishment exposure in this machine class. Hydraulic cylinders should be checked for seal integrity and rod scoring, and all hose routing should be examined for chafing or prior field repairs. Engine bay inspection should confirm the condition of the cooling system, air filtration, and any evidence of oil leaks at the turbo or valve cover. A review of the machine's service history, particularly evidence of scheduled oil and filter changes, is a reliable indicator of overall maintenance discipline. Where possible, a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified technician and a live function test of all attachments and auxiliary circuits is recommended before purchase.
In the European market the Caterpillar 318 carries an average asking price of EUR 101,211, with the typical price range spanning from EUR 59,900 to EUR 117,400 depending on age, hours, and specification. Buyers comparing value in this class will also evaluate the Hitachi ZX200 and Volvo EC200, both of which compete directly in the same operating weight segment. The spread between the lower and upper ends of the range reflects the variation in machine condition and vintage present in current supply.
