About · Caterpillar 352

Overview

The Caterpillar 352 is a large hydraulic excavator in the heavy-duty crawler class, with an operating weight of 51,800 kg and an engine output of 408 hp. It is equipped with a bucket capacity of 3.21 m3, positioning it for high-volume earthmoving and material-handling cycles. The machine competes in a segment defined by structural robustness and high hourly productivity requirements.

Typical applications

Where this machine is used

Excavators of this size and output are deployed across large-scale civil engineering projects, quarry operations, and heavy demolition work. The combination of operating weight and bucket capacity makes the class well suited to bulk excavation, rock breaking when fitted with appropriate attachments, and infrastructure groundworks. Port and industrial site applications also draw on machines in this weight range for their reach and lifting capacity.

Used-market inspection

What to check before buying

Inspection of any large crawler excavator in this class should prioritise the undercarriage, as track components, rollers, and sprockets represent a substantial portion of reconditioning exposure on high-hour machines. The hydraulic system, including pump output, cylinder seals, and control valve response, warrants close attention given the duty cycles typical of this weight class. Engine hours should be verified against service records, and buyers should confirm that scheduled maintenance, particularly around the cooling system and hydraulic filtration, has been carried out consistently. Structural checks on the boom, arm, and attachment mounting points are advisable, especially on units with a history of demolition or rock-breaking work.

Current market

Price position

On the European used market, the Caterpillar 352 carries an average asking price of EUR 159,777, with the full price spread running from EUR 99,980 at the lower end to EUR 271,614 for the highest-positioned units. This range reflects significant variation in age, condition, and configuration across available stock. Buyers evaluating this machine against alternatives in the same class will typically cross-shop the Doosan DX530 and the Hyundai HX520, both of which occupy comparable weight and output categories.
