Oregon excavator rates
Also called hoe, 320, 330, Cat 320, 20 ton, 30 ton, mini excavator. Rates by SubTrack.
Oregon rates sit on Portland civil, ports, and I-5 industrial. Prevailing wage in the metro is not the same as an Eastern Oregon T&M job. These USD charge-out ranges are public benchmarks, not employee pay. Excavator charge-out is the line most earthworks tickets live on. The book splits mini (3-5 ton), 20-ton / 320 class, 30-ton / 330 class, and 45-ton. Fuel is usually extra. Operated versus bare changes the number more than the region does. In Oregon, a excavator typically bills $170 /hr (range $150 to $195, as of 2026-08). For a check against nearby markets, Washington sits at $180 /hr, and California sits at $185 /hr. These are public benchmarks. Your billable number lives on a SubTrack rate sheet.
