  •     
  • When navigating the menu, scroll position will be remembered.
  •     
  • While menu is shown and lever is moved, camera view will be shown.
  •     
  • Use the in-monitor QR code to learn about machine and technology features through a full suite of “how-to” videos.

Not all features are available in all regions. Please check with your local Cat® dealer for specific offering availability in your area. Build Number: 05F
Easy to Operate

Easy to Operate

        
  • The machine’s electrohydraulic system allows accurate bucket control for maximum precision.
  •     
  • Start the engine with a push button.
  •     
  • Navigate quickly on the high-resolution 203 mm (8 in) touchscreen monitor.
  •     
  • Control the excavator comfortably with easy-to-reach controls all located in front of you.
  •     
  • Continuously improved user interface allows for intuitive navigation, minimizing performance interruption with the easy-to-use touchscreen menu.
  •     
  • Identify apps quickly with a grid list view, abbreviated app names, and categorized menu options.
  •     
  • Use the in-monitor QR code to learn about machine and technology features through a full suite of “how-to” videos.
  •     
  • 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 at ground level, longer filter lifespan, and extended and synchronized service interals help reduce maintenance costs.
  •     
  • The electrohydraulic system eliminates the need for pilot lines and filter.
  •     
  • The air intake filter with precleaner 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 uses less fuel than the 320D2 L 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.
  •     
  • VisionLink® provides actionable data insights for all assets - regardless of fleet size or equipment manufacturer.* Review equipment data from your desktop or mobile device to maximize uptime and optimize assets. Dashboards provide information such as hours, miles, location, idle time, and fuel utilization. Make informed decisions that lower costs, simplify maintenance, and improve safety and security on your jobsite.
  •     
  • VisionLink® Productivity gathers and summarizes machine telematics and jobsite data from all your equipment – regardless of the manufacturer.* View actionable information such as idle time, fuel burn, location, payload, load counts, total cycles, and more to improve machine efficiency, productivity, and utilization. Access data anywhere via a mobile, tablet, or desktop device - on or off the jobsite.
  •     
  • Save fuel with Automatic Engine Control (AEC). It reduces engine speed when the machine is not under load to minimize fuel consumption.

* Data field availability can vary by equipment manufacturer.
Reliable Performance
