2011 Caterpillar 374D

Seventy metric tons of working weight sit on a reinforced undercarriage, and the 374D puts that mass to work without making the operator fight it. Hydraulic response comes on progressive rather than abrupt, so swing and boom travel stay predictable through a full truck-loading cycle.

• Stability — wide gauge and a heavy counterweight hold the machine planted through full-reach digging and side loading.
• Visibility — pressurized cab, large glass area, and low-effort joysticks keep the bucket teeth and trench edge in clear view.
• Handling — boom and stick regeneration modes smooth the transition between dig, swing, and dump.
• Service access — filters, grease points, and daily check items reachable from ground level.

Conventional diesel power, built through a joint-venture/import line, fitted with a backhoe bucket. The unit is currently located in Zhejiang, China, and runs on standard 70-ton excavator transport and maintenance practice — no special handling required on site.
