Japanese Import Used Caterpillar 312D2 Excavator 12 Ton with ACERT Engine

This used Caterpillar 312D2 is a genuine Japanese import in the 12-ton class, powered by the fuel-efficient C4.4 ACERT engine. Japanese-spec machines are prized in the used equipment market for their disciplined maintenance, careful operation and clean condition, and this 312D2 is a textbook example. With only about 4,600 working hours recorded, the machine offers the buyer a low-hour alternative in a size class that is perfect for contractors who need more power than a mini excavator but want to keep transport and operating costs under control.

The machine retains its original paint and decals, confirming no major accident or heavy repainting. The engine runs smoothly with the ACERT emission system functioning correctly, the hydraulics are precise and leak-free, and the cab interior is exceptionally clean for a used machine. The undercarriage measures above average for the hour reading, and the bucket shows normal working wear.

• Genuine Japanese import: original specification with verifiable export history from Japan
• Low hour reading: approximately 4,600 working hours with service records available
• Fuel efficient ACERT engine: the C4.4 ACERT delivers strong power with lower fuel consumption and emissions

The 312D2 is the right size for a wide range of work: building foundations, utility installation, road construction, drainage projects and small-scale quarry loading. Its 12-ton weight allows transport on standard trailers, and its low fuel consumption makes it economical for contractors who run machines for long hours. The machine is also well suited to hydraulic breaker work in urban demolition projects.

Every Japanese import we sell is inspected twice: at the port of origin and again at our Shanghai facility. The inspection includes a full load test, hydraulic pressure measurement, undercarriage measurement and detailed photo documentation. Serial numbers are verified against export documents to guarantee the machine's identity and history.

The machine is shipped by bulk carrier or flat rack from Shanghai or Qingdao. Before loading, the boom is folded, the cab is secured, the battery is disconnected and all fluids are checked. We provide the original Japanese export certificate, commercial invoice, packing list and bill of lading, and track the shipment until arrival.
