Product Feature
Stock #196 is a used Caterpillar 312E, a small crawler excavator (10–16 t) that we hold in Shanghai, China, for export buyers. Price, year and meter reading are given per unit on request rather than on the page. Its model number puts the 312E at about 12 t operating weight.
Machines like the 312E are typically used for urban infrastructure and drainage, road widening and ditch cleaning and utility work where tail swing and transport weight matter.
On freight, 20-ton class machines usually ship on a flat rack or as break-bulk; a 40HQ container is only possible with partial disassembly of the boom, stick or counterweight; the final method depends on the unit, the sailing and the destination, and we confirm it with the quote.
As an American brand, Caterpillar has dealer and aftermarket parts coverage in many regions, which matters when you run a used 312E far from Shanghai.
Inspection in our Shanghai yard or by video, plus export documents, is handled by Shanghai Yongcheng Hongsheng Used Construction Machinery.
