Direct answer: do not quote an excavator’s operating weight without its configuration note. Caterpillar’s 320 product page presents 22,600 kg for a specified setup including a reach boom, R2.9 stick, 1.19 m³ HD bucket, 790 mm triple-grouser shoes and 4,200 kg counterweight. That figure is not a universal weight for every Cat 320.
Caterpillar product page checked 19 October 2026. The source is a manufacturer specification page; no machine was weighed or inspected.
Read the setup attached to the value
The source’s operating-weight note names the boom, stick, bucket, shoe width and counterweight used for the stated configuration. Removing that note leaves a number that may not match a quoted machine. For transport planning or procurement, request the exact offered configuration and its manufacturer weight sheet rather than assuming a standard package.
| Field | Source example | Check on actual offer |
|---|---|---|
| Base model | Cat 320 hydraulic excavator | Exact model generation and local version |
| Boom and stick | Reach boom; R2.9 stick in cited note | Offered combination |
| Bucket and undercarriage | 1.19 m³ HD bucket; 790 mm shoes | Actual bucket, shoe and any attachments |
| Counterweight | 4,200 kg in cited note | Installed counterweight and final machine weight |
Choose the regional document, not just the model page
Caterpillar’s resource list offers separate 320 technical-specification documents for Australia/New Zealand, Europe, North America and other named regions. This is an important evidence clue for Southeast Asian sourcing: the page a search engine returns may not be the applicable version. Preserve the document’s region and do not apply a North American or European standard claim to a machine offered elsewhere without confirmation.
The page also lists emissions standards and performance fields. Those should be checked against local documents and exact configuration. This article makes no import-compliance conclusion, lifting recommendation, hauling estimate or availability claim.
Use a written source trail
For a dealer comparison, save the date, local product sheet, machine configuration, attachments and written quotation together. Where a transport or operating question is material, send the exact machine record to a qualified local professional. We have not contacted a dealer or verified a unit.
