The Caterpillar 322 is a mid-size hydraulic excavator with an operating weight of 22,760 kg and an engine output of 153 hp. It is equipped with a bucket capacity of 1.07 m3, positioning it firmly in the 20-to-25-tonne class. This class is one of the most broadly deployed in the construction and civil engineering sectors, offering a balance between reach, lifting capacity, and site mobility.
Machines in the 22-tonne class are well suited to general earthmoving, foundation excavation, utility trenching, and bulk material handling on medium to large construction sites. The bucket capacity and operating weight also support road building, land clearing, and pipeline work where consistent cycle times and digging force are priorities. Contractors frequently deploy this class on projects that demand a capable machine without the logistical overhead associated with heavier equipment.
Prospective buyers should commission a full hydraulic pressure test and inspect all cylinder seals, hoses, and couplings for leaks, as hydraulic system condition is a primary cost driver in this machine class. Undercarriage wear, including track shoes, rollers, and sprocket teeth, warrants close attention on any used 20-tonne-class excavator and should be assessed against the remaining service life the buyer requires. A review of the service history for evidence of regular filter changes, scheduled maintenance, and any structural repairs to the boom, arm, or frame is advisable before purchase. Where possible, an independent pre-purchase inspection by a qualified technician familiar with Cat equipment is a sound practice at this price level.
The Caterpillar 322 sits at a European market average price of EUR 60,833, with a typical trading range of EUR 59,000 to EUR 62,300, indicating a relatively tight spread that reflects stable and consistent demand for this model. Direct competitors in the segment include the Hitachi ZX225US and the Komatsu PC210, both of which occupy the same weight and power bracket and are commonly evaluated alongside the 322 by procurement teams. The Cat brand generally commands strong recognition in the European used market, which is reflected in pricing that holds close to its average across listings.
