2008 Caterpillar 330DL Hydraulic Excavator

$74,500

This 2008 Caterpillar 330DL is a full-size hydraulic excavator built for serious excavation, trenching, utility, quarry, and demolition support work. With approximately 14,781 hours, it remains a relevant production-class machine for contractors who need reach, bucket breakout, and lift over the front for everyday earthmoving pipelines, basements, stripping, and stockpile loading. Power comes from the Cat C9 ACERT diesel rated at roughly 246 hp (183 kW), paired with Cat hydraulics tuned for fast cycle times under load. Operating weight in this class is roughly 75,200 lb (34,100 kg), with digging depth near 24 ft 9 in and maximum reach at ground level near 36 ft 3 in — ideal when you need one machine to cover long reaches, deep trench profiles, or truck loading at grade. Bucket digging force near 47,300 lbf and lift capability in the mid-teens over the front (check lift charts and configuration for your sticks, couplers, and attachments) round out the performance story. This unit has been maintained with an emphasis on authorized Caterpillar dealer care, including documented support through Milton CAT. The seller indicates well over $32,000 CAD invested in documented dealer repairs and preventive work across hydraulic cylinders, boom and bucket cylinders, final drive work, undercarriage service, fuel-system diagnosis, cab climate repairs, Product Link installation, and a full 2,000-hour service, with ten years of service records summarized for serious buyers. The cab is ROPS-certified with heat and air conditioning for year-round operator comfort. Financing options may be available — contact Prairie Equipment for qualification, current freight or delivery within Western Canada, and to schedule a hands-on inspection or detailed review of maintenance documentation.
