Introduction
When you're sourcing a used CAT excavator from China, knowing exactly where the machines are stored and what's currently in stock is critical. Anhui Gangya Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. operates multiple yards across China, each holding a rotating inventory of used CAT excavators. This guide breaks down our yard locations, the models typically available, and how to verify inventory before you commit. We focus on transparency: every listing includes the model, year, hours, condition grade, and FOB price. As an independent exporter, we are not affiliated with Caterpillar Inc. or its dealer network. Our goal is to give you the facts you need to make a confident purchase.
1. Shanghai Yard: Gateway for Mini Excavators
Best for: Buyers in Asia, Africa, and Latin America who need quick shipping and a wide selection of mini excavators under 10 tons.
Why it stands out: The Shanghai yard is our primary hub for mini-class machines. Its proximity to major container ports means shorter lead times and competitive freight rates. We keep a consistent flow of models like the CAT 306E2, CAT 307E2, and CAT 307.5. These units are ideal for utility work, confined sites, and small digs. Each machine is inspected and comes with a start-up video, photos, and an inspection report.
Real example: Currently in stock is a 2022 CAT 306E2 with 800 hours, priced at $16,000 FOB. This unit is a mini class excavator under 10 t, used for small digs, utility work and confined sites. It has an as inspected condition rating. The year and hours are given as a reference, not as proof of use. The price of 16000 USD is the specific FOB price for this one unit. We also have a 2025 CAT 307E2 with 500 hours at $17,000 FOB, and a 2025 CAT 307.5 with 500 hours at $26,000 FOB. All are in stock and ready for inspection.
2. Jiangsu Yard: Mid-Size and Heavy-Duty Machines
Best for: Contractors and dealers needing 20-30 ton excavators for heavy digging, trenching, and large site work.

We typically stock models like the CAT 320D, CAT 320D2L, and CAT 329D. These machines are popular in infrastructure projects across Africa and Latin America. The yard has a dedicated inspection bay where we record start-up videos and compile detailed condition reports.
Real example: A 2011 CAT 320DIMPORT with 8000 hours is available at $15,000 FOB. This Caterpillar 320DIMPORT is a 20-30 t class excavator, used for heavy digging, trenching and large site work. The year is 2011 and the hours meter reads 8000, given as a reference only and not proof of actual use. Condition is Grade B. It is in stock. The FOB price is 15000 USD for this specific machine.

For buyers needing a newer 20-ton machine, we also list a 2013 CAT 349D at $50,000 FOB and a 2025 Next Gen CAT 349 at $137,000.
3. Shandong Yard: Compact and Versatile Units
Best for: Buyers in emerging markets who need compact excavators for urban jobs and tight-access sites.
Why it stands out: The Shandong yard focuses on compact models, including the CAT 305.5, CAT 308E2, and CAT 312D2. These units are in high demand in regions like Southeast Asia and East Africa. The yard's central location allows for efficient inland transport to multiple ports. We maintain a steady inventory of these models, often with low hours and good condition grades. Each unit undergoes a basic functional check before listing.

It is a 2022 machine with an as inspected condition rating. The year and hours are given as a reference, not as proof of use. The unit is in stock. A buyer can see a start-up video, photos and an inspection report of the actual machine. The price of 21000 USD is the specific FOB price for this one unit. Additionally, we have a 2022 CAT 306E2 at $16,000 FOB, already mentioned, but it's also stored here for regional buyers.
4. Guangdong Yard: Southern Hub for Export to Southeast Asia
Best for: Buyers in Southeast Asia, particularly Indonesia, Philippines, and Vietnam, who benefit from short sea freight.
Why it stands out: The Guangdong yard is strategically located near the ports of Shenzhen and Guangzhou. This makes it ideal for shipments to Southeast Asia, with transit times often under two weeks. We stock models like the CAT 320C, CAT 320D, and CAT 315D. These machines are well-suited for construction, mining, and road projects. The yard also handles a significant volume of mini excavators, such as the CAT 307E2 and CAT 306E2.

A buyer can see a start-up video, photos and an inspection report of the actual machine. The price of 16000 USD is the specific FOB price for this one unit. For larger needs, a CAT 320C is listed at $11,200 FOB, and a CAT 325D at $21,000 FOB.
5. Tianjin Yard: Northern Gateway for Africa and Europe
Best for: Buyers in Africa, Europe, and Central Asia who need reliable shipping from northern China.
Why it stands out: The Tianjin yard serves as our northern distribution point. It's particularly active for shipments to Nigeria, Kenya, and Russia. We keep a diverse inventory, from mini excavators to 30-ton machines. Models like the CAT 315D, CAT 320D, and CAT 330B are commonly available. The yard's proximity to Tianjin port, one of China's largest, ensures competitive freight rates and frequent sailings.
Real example: A 1999 CAT 330B is in stock at $36,000 FOB. This machine is a 30-ton class excavator, used for heavy digging and large-scale earthmoving.

6. How to Verify Inventory Before Purchase
Best for: All international buyers who want to avoid surprises and ensure they get the machine they expect.
Why it stands out: We provide full transparency for every unit. Before you commit, you can request a start-up video, high-resolution photos, and a detailed inspection report. These documents show the actual machine, not a stock photo. We also disclose the year, hours, and condition grade, with the caveat that these are reference points, not guarantees. Our team can arrange a live video call to inspect the machine in person.
Real example: For the 2022 CAT 306E2 at $16,000 FOB, we provide a start-up video, photos, and an inspection report. The description notes that the year and hours are given as a reference, not as proof of use. This level of detail helps you assess the machine's condition accurately. Similarly, for the 2011 CAT 320DIMPORT at $15,000 FOB, the Grade B condition is clearly stated, and you can see the actual unit via video and photos. Always ask for these materials before making a decision.
7. Logistics and Export Considerations
Best for: Buyers who need to understand shipping costs, customs, and documentation.
Why it stands out: As an independent exporter, Anhui Gangya Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. handles all export logistics. We provide the necessary customs documentation, including HS codes and duty rates where applicable. For example, the CAT 306E2 has an HS code of 8429.52 and a duty percent of 5 in Nigeria. The CAT 320DIMPORT also has an HS code of 8429.52, with a duty percent of 5 and a VAT percent of 7.5 in Nigeria. These details help you calculate your total landed cost.
Real example: When shipping a CAT 306E2 to Nigeria, the HS code 8429.52 applies, and the duty is 5%. For the CAT 320DIMPORT, the same HS code applies, with a 5% duty and 7.5% VAT. We work with reputable freight forwarders to ensure smooth delivery. Our team can also advise on the best port of departure based on your destination and the machine's location. This streamlined approach reduces delays and unexpected costs.
