HED Parts Desk
Caterpillar 320 Excavator Engine Availability
The 320 has been through several generations (320B through 320 Next Gen), each with different engine arrangements and emissions configurations. HED Parts Desk confirms exactly what your machine needs before we quote it.
Can HED help source this?
HED Parts Desk supplies engines and major engine components for Caterpillar equipment. We confirm fitment against your machine's exact configuration, present new, remanufactured, and rebuilt options as they're available, and quote pricing, lead time, and terms.
New, reman, rebuilt, or exchange?
Depending on availability, options may include new, remanufactured, rebuilt, or good-used engines and components. We'll confirm what's realistically available for your specific configuration rather than assuming any option is guaranteed.
Why does the serial or PIN matter?
The 320 platform spans multiple generations and engine emissions tiers (Tier 3, Tier 4 Interim, Tier 4 Final). Your excavator's PIN is the most reliable way to confirm the exact engine arrangement it shipped with, since two 320s built a few years apart can need different engines entirely.
Why does the exact part number matter?
If you already have an engine or component part number (from a nameplate, prior invoice, or parts book), it lets us skip fitment guesswork entirely and quote against the exact arrangement, cutting quote turnaround significantly.
How does core exchange work?
Reman and rebuilt engines are frequently sold on a core-exchange basis — your old engine core is returned and credited against the purchase price. Whether a core applies, and the core value, depends on the specific component and condition; we'll walk through that during quoting.
What affects price?
Engine pricing depends heavily on condition tier (new/reman/rebuilt/used), arrangement/emissions configuration, current availability, and whether a core exchange applies. Machine-down urgency can also affect which options are realistically available on your timeline.
What affects freight?
Engines are heavy, often requiring freight class shipping or a liftgate/forklift at delivery. Freight cost depends on origin-to-destination distance, packaging, and whether residential or limited-access delivery accessorials apply — we'll confirm this as part of your quote.
What about warranty?
Warranty coverage depends on condition tier — new and reman components typically carry a manufacturer-backed or remanufacturer warranty, while used/as-is components may carry limited or no warranty. We'll confirm the applicable warranty terms with any quote before you commit.
What to submit for a useful quote
The more of this you can share up front, the faster we can turn around a fitment-accurate quote.
