Buying guidance

Verify the exact unit

When evaluating a used Caterpillar 966G, confirm the full serial number and regional configuration before comparing specifications. Inspect articulation-joint play, axle and differential noise, transmission shifts, brake response, tire condition, loader linkage and hydraulic lift performance. Compare the displayed hours with diagnostic data or service records where available, and check whether wear across the controls, pins, drivetrain and work equipment is consistent with the claim. Request dated photos plus one continuous video showing a cold start and every main function under load. Confirm repainting, structural repairs, installed attachments, exact transport dimensions and destination-port requirements for the individual machine before quotation or payment.
