This is a broad modelled estimate, not a verified market range. It starts with the sourced indicative new price of $415,650 and applies HeavyBook’s declared depreciation curve for wheel loaders at the reference ages shown above. A real machine can sit outside it because of hours, condition, attachments and location. See the method →

The 950GC is Cat's value-spec medium wheel loader — positioned below the full-spec 950 line with a simpler driveline and fewer electronic systems, which is precisely its appeal to the quarries, grain handlers, waste stations and civil yards that buy it. Australian-market units are commonly the regional build without exhaust aftertreatment, a genuine selling point for operators far from town. Nationwide Cat dealer coverage underpins parts support and resale demand. Used examples come from very different working lives, so ask what the machine loaded before asking anything else: transfer-station duty wears a loader in ways farm work does not. Check the centre hitch and loader pins, transmission behaviour under load, and tyre condition — the known four-figure-per-corner cost.

What a Cat 950GC is used for

The Cat 950GC is a medium wheel loader in the five-tonne-payload class — the truck-loading and stockpiling machine of quarries, yards and transfer stations.

  • Truck and hopper loading
  • Stockpile management
  • Quarry and batching-plant duty
  • Waste transfer station work

What Moves the Price

Adds the most

Coupler + bucket set

A quick-coupler with a GP bucket and forks makes the machine a tool-carrier. Loaders sold with one fixed bucket sit at the bottom of the range.

Clear premium

Low hours, clean history

Hours matter, but application matters more — a farm or council loader at moderate hours outsells a waste-station machine at the same reading.

The known big cost

Tyres

Loader tyres are a four-figure item per corner. Buyers quote worn rubber straight off the price, so tyre condition effectively trades as currency.

Priced off the top

Centre pin & driveline

Play in the articulation joint and slop in the driveline are the expensive fixes. Both get priced before the machine does.

950GC Price FAQ

How much is a used Cat 950GC worth in Australia?
HeavyBook's indicative used-price estimate spans $95,000–$303,000, with $179,000 as the 8-year mid-life reference. The low and high points use 14-year and 3-year reference ages. This is modelled from a sourced new price and a declared category depreciation curve — not verified sold data. Age, hours, condition, attachments and location can move a real machine outside the band.
Is this estimate based on real sold prices?
No. It is a transparent modelled reference while verified sold-price data is unavailable. HeavyBook keeps it visually separate from market ranges, publishes the assumptions, and never uses it as an offer, valuation or sample-sized market figure.
What is a Cat 950GC used for?
The Cat 950GC is a medium wheel loader in the five-tonne-payload class — the truck-loading and stockpiling machine of quarries, yards and transfer stations.
How much does a Cat 950GC weigh?
The Cat 950GC has an operating weight of 19,069 kg (3.1 m3 GP bucket, 23.5R25 tyres).
What engine is in a Cat 950GC?
The Cat 950GC is powered by Cat C7.1, 168 kW (225 hp) net ISO 9249.
How much is a new Cat 950GC?
A new Cat 950GC is around $415,650 ex-GST (Indicative new price for a new Cat 950GC wheel loader, from an NSW council supply contract (WesTrac), ex-GST. Bucket configuration affects the figure.). Used examples list for less; HeavyBook's equipment finance calculator estimates the monthly repayment on either.
What makes one 950GC worth more than another?
Attachment spec first — a quick-coupler with bucket and forks widens what the machine can do and who will buy it. Then application history and hours together, tyre condition (the known big cost), and the mechanical state of the centre pin and driveline.

Buying a Cat 950GC

Check it is not encumbered

A search shows whether someone else has registered a security interest over the machine — a financier who can repossess it after you have paid the seller — and whether it has been reported stolen or written off. It does not tell you what is owed, and it is not a valuation.

Wheeled loaders travel at road-going speeds under their own power and generally satisfy the motor-vehicle test. Search by the machine’s serial or chassis number, and search the seller as well if the serial returns nothing.

Search the Personal Property Securities Register. The register publishes a case study on buying heavy construction equipment privately.
