FrameThe 320E LRR features a solid foundation that’s built to absorb the stresses of every day work. The main frame utilizes high-tensile-strength steel and a one-piece swing table to improve strength and reliability. The X-shaped carbody is designed to resist bending and twisting forces. The upper frame includes reinforced mountings to support the Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) cab; the lower frame is reinforced to increase component durability.
UndercarriageThe undercarriage is built to support various work applications. Precision-forged carrier rollers, press-fit pin master joints, and enhanced track shoe bolts improve durability and reduce the risk of machine downtime and the need and cost to replace components. Heavy-duty rollers and idlers are sealed and lubricated to extend service lift. Track links are assembled and sealed with grease to decrease internal wear and increase life compared to dry seal undercarriage. Also, a segmented two-piece guiding guard is now offered to help maintain track alignment and improve performance in multiple applications.
CounterweightsTwo counterweight options are available: 6.2 mt (6.8 ton) and 6.9 mt (7.6 ton). Integrated links enable easy removal of the counterweight for maintenance or shipping.
Structures & Undercarriage
Booms and SticksThe 320E LRR is offered with a range of booms and sticks (see list below). Each is built with internal baffle plates for added durability, and each undergoes ultrasound inspection to ensure weld quality and reliability.
Large box-section structures with thick, multi-plate fabrications, castings, and forgings are used in high-stress areas such as the boom nose, boom foot, boom cylinder, and stick foot to improve durability.
The boom nose retention method is a durable captured flag design. Boom durability is improved with a number of plate thickness changes. Also, the front linkage pins’ inner bearing surfaces are welded, and a self-lubricated bearing is used to extend service intervals and increase uptime.
SelectionsThere are two basic boom options: HD and ES. - HD = Heavy Duty – This type of boom is designed to balance reach, digging force, and bucket capacity. It covers the vast majority of applications such as digging, loading, trenching, and working with hydraulic tools.
- ES = Extreme Service – This type of boom is best used for demolition or extreme applications where stress loads on the boom are increased. It should be used for demanding, harsh applications like 100% rock and extensive hammer use.
