What Should Buyers in Bolivia Check Before Purchasing a Used CAT 320D?

By Sam from Dige International Trading

When buying a used CAT 320D for Bolivia, the first thing to consider is high-altitude performance. Many regions in Bolivia sit far above sea level, which can reduce engine power if the turbo system or fuel supply isn’t in good condition. A clean engine, strong turbo boost, and stable fuel delivery are essential to ensure the 320D maintains output on mountainous job sites.

The second key point is the hydraulic and undercarriage condition. Bolivia’s mixed terrain—rocky, uneven, and often challenging—puts stress on pumps, cylinders, tracks, and rollers. A 320D with smooth hydraulic response and a healthy undercarriage will work far more efficiently and prevent early repair costs after arrival.

Finally, buyers should confirm parts availability and import planning. While CAT parts are generally easy to source in Bolivia, it’s safer to choose a machine that uses common filter types, sensors, and pump models. Since Bolivia is landlocked, shipments usually come through Chile or Peru, so having complete paperwork is important for avoiding delays.

The CAT 320D performs very well in Bolivia when these three points are checked carefully, making it a reliable choice for construction and mining work.
