Model overview

The Caterpillar 325C is a 25 to 29 tonne class crawler excavator from Cat's C Series, produced in the early to mid 2000s. Caterpillar's product data lists the Cat 3126B ATAAC engine with HEUI fuel system delivering 140 kW (188 hp) net flywheel power, an operating weight of approx. 28,600 kg for the 325C L with standard undercarriage, and a maximum digging depth of 7090 mm with the Reach boom and 3.2 m stick. Cat positions it as a general earthmoving and mass excavation machine with boom and stick regeneration hydraulics for faster cycle times.

At a glance

Generation and emissionsC Series, Tier 2 emissions; sits between the 325B and the 325D in Cat's line, so verify the exact variant (325C, 325C L long undercarriage, 325C LN narrow) on the serial plate.

Boom and stick configurationFactory options include the 6.15 m Reach boom with 3.2 m or 2.65 m stick and the 5.55 m Mass boom with 3.2 m or 2.5 m stick; dig depth, reach and breakout force all shift with the combination fitted.

Undercarriage wearOn a machine of this age the undercarriage is the key inspection item: measure track link, sprocket, idler and roller wear, since a full undercarriage rebuild is one of the largest ownership costs on a 25 tonne crawler.

Configuration dependenceOperating weight varies with shoe width (700 or 800 mm triple grouser), counterweight and bucket; quoted weights include a 90 percent fuel tank and operator.
