Versatility and Performance
Each Cat work tool is designed to optimize the versatility and performance of your machine. An extensive range of buckets, compactors, grapples, multi-processors, rippers, crushers, pulverizers, hammers, and shears is available for your 349D2/D2 L.
Buckets and GET
Cat buckets and Cat Ground Engaging Tools (GET) are designed and matched to the machine to ensure optimal performance and fuel efficiency.
Utility Buckets (UD)
UD buckets are for digging in low-impact, low-abrasive material such as dirt, loam, and clay.
General-Duty Buckets (GD)
GD buckets are for digging in low-impact, moderately abrasive materials such as dirt, loam, gravel, and clay.
Heavy-Duty Buckets (HD)
HD buckets are a good starting point when application conditions vary – especially when conditions include mixed dirt, clay, sand, and gravel.
Severe-Duty Buckets (SD)
SD buckets are best suited to highly abrasive materials like shot rock, sand stone, and granite.
Extreme-Duty Buckets (XD)
XD buckets are for extremely abrasive materials like high-quartzite granite.
Couplers
Quick couplers allow one person to change work tools in seconds for maximum performance and flexibility on a job site. One machine can move rapidly from task to task, and a fleet of similarly equipped machines can share a common work tool inventory.
Center-Lock™ Pin Grabber Coupler
Center-Lock is a pin grabber coupler and features a patent-pending locking system. A highly visible secondary lock clearly shows the operator when the coupler is engaged or disengaged from the bucket or work tool.
E Series Hammers
E Series hammers bring together customer expectations for performance, quality, and serviceability along with Caterpillar manufacturing expertise. They are also quiet – a significant benefit in urban and noise-restricted work areas.
Rippers
Constructed from high-strength steels and built to last, Cat rippers endure in the toughest conditions. The box-section structure is reinforced for maximum rigidity, transmitting the full machine power to the material being ripped. Rippers feature a replaceable wear tip, and most models also come equipped with a replaceable shank protector.
Grapples
Cat grapples make Cat excavators the ideal machine for handling loose material, sorting trash, and demolition site cleanup. An array of styles and sizes is available to match excavators to the task at hand.
Multi-Processors
Multi-processors do the work of many types of demolition tools by use of interchangeable jaw sets. Changing jaws allows a single unit to crush, pulverize, and perform a variety of specialized tasks such as cutting steel rebar and tanks.
Shears
Cat shears are designed to take full advantage of the hydraulic flows and pressures produced by Cat excavators – all to enhance productivity without compromising safety or causing premature wear of the shear or carrier.
Pulverizers
Mechanical pulverizers are cost-effective tools for recycling demolished concrete debris. The bucket cylinder on the excavator powers the pulverizer, eliminating the need for a dedicated cylinder, associated hydraulics, and additional installation cost.
Compactors
Cat compactors make job site compaction quick, efficient, and cost effective.
Crushers
The hydraulic concrete crusher is well suited for demolition in residential areas. The tool combines several demolition operations in one piece of equipment:
- Breaking out concrete from fixed structures
- Pulverizing concrete
- Cutting reinforcement rods and small steel profiles
