Easy to Operate

Easy to Operate

        
  • Start the engine with a push button.
  •     
  • The machine’s electrohydraulic system allows accurate bucket control for maximum precision.
  •     
  • Navigate quickly on the high-resolution 203 mm (8 in) touchscreen monitor.
  •     
  • Continuously improved user interface allows for intuitive navigation, minimizing performance interruption with the easy-to-use touchscreen menu
  •     
  • Use the in-monitor QR code to learn about machine and technology features through a full suite of “how-to” videos.
  •     
  • Control the excavator comfortably with easy-to-reach controls all located in front of you.
  •     
  • Program your preferences for power mode, joystick pattern, and joystick response using Operator ID. The excavator will automatically remember your selections.
Easy to Maintain

Easy to Maintain

        
  • Daily maintenance inspections at ground level, longer filter lifespan, and extended and synchronized service intervals help to reduce maintenance costs.
  •     
  • The latest air intake filter with pre-cleaner has double the dust holding capacity of the previous air intake filter.
  •     
  • Final drive and swing drive oil is double the initial service life – from 250 to 500 hours.
  •     
  • Fuel filters are synchronized to be changed at 1,000 hours - keeping your machine on the job for longer periods of time.
  •     
  • The hydraulic oil filter provides high filtration performance, anti-drain valves to keep oil clean when the filter is replaced, and longer life with a 3,000 hour replacement interval.
  •     
  • Grease sealed between track pins and bushings reduces travel noise and prevents debris from entering to help increase undercarriage life.
  •     
  • Auto warm up speeds up hydraulic oil warming in cold temperatures and helps prolong the life of components.
  •     
  • Advansys™ bucket tips increase penetration and improve cycle times. Tip changes can be done quickly with a simple lug wrench instead of a hammer or special tool, improving safety and uptime.
  •     
  • S·O·SSM oil sampling ports are on ground level, simplifying maintenance and allowing for quick, easy extraction of fluid samples for analysis.
Low Owning and Operating Costs

Low Owning and Operating Costs

        
  • The excavator consumes less fuel in comparison to the 320D2 GC in similar applications.
  •     
  • Match the excavator to the job with a choice of two modes: Power and Smart. Power mode provides full-time maximum output. Smart mode automatically matches engine and hydraulic power to digging conditions to help conserve fuel without impacting production.
  •     
  • Save fuel with Automatic Engine Control (AEC). It reduces engine speed when the machine is not under load to minimize fuel consumption.
Reliable Performance

Reliable Performance

        
  • A versatile machine that performs well in bucket and hammer applications.
  •     
  • Booms and sticks are robotically welded and checked ultrasonically to ensure maximum durability.
  •     
  • Reliable and durable and built on classic, proven components.
  •     
  • The Cat® C4.4 engine and electrohydraulic system work in sync to help you move plenty of material while using less fuel.
  •     
  • Fast cycle times give you excellent productivity.
  •     
  • A hammer-ready valve is standard for added versatility.
  •     
  • Two levels of fuel filtration protect the engine from contaminated diesel fuel.
  •     
  • Cat undercarriage is built strong to absorb jobsite stresses for enhanced performance and durability.
  •     
  • General duty buckets are designed for fast material discharge and cleaning.
  •     
  • Work up to 4500 m (14,760 ft) above sea level with engine power derate above 3000 m (9,840 ft).
  •     
  • Standard high-ambient temperature capability is 52°C (125°F) with cold start capability at -25°C (-13°F).
Work in Comfort

Work in Comfort

        
  • The cab has a wide seat that adjusts to suit individual operator preferences.
  •     
  • Standard automatic climate control helps keep you comfortable all shift long.
  •     
  • Excellent work site visibility from the cab enhances productivity and safety.
  •     
  • Optimized low-effort joystick controls reduce operator fatigue.
  •     
  • Convenience features include a radio, auxiliary port for headphones, and a USB port for connecting and charging devices; a 24V DC outlet makes phone charging even faster.
