High Performance with Lower Fuel Consumption

Use up to 20% less fuel than the 320F excavators.
Match the excavator to the job using power modes including new Smart Mode that automatically matches engine and hydraulic power to digging conditions.
The advanced hydraulic system provides the optimum balance of power and efficiency while giving you the control you need for precise digging requirements.
Your joystick commands adjust pump flow based on valve priority putting hydraulic pressure and flow where it needs to go giving you improved fast light-to-medium load cycle times.
The electronically controlled, turbocharged engine meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final and EU Stage IV emissions standards using a transparent aftertreatment system that requires no operator input or downtime.
Auxiliary hydraulic options give you the versatility to use a wide range of Cat attachments.
Don't let the temperature stop you from working. The excavator has a standard high-ambient temperature capability of 125 º F (52º C) and cold start capability of 0º F (-18º C). An optional -25º F (-32º C) cold start package is available .
Work up to 9,480 feet (3000 meters) above sea level without de-rating.
Track your performance through standard Product Link that provides location, machine hours, fuel usage, productivity, idle time, diagnostic codes and other machine data on demand through VisionLink ® online interface.

Reliable, High and Low, Heat and Cold

Work up to 3000 m (9,840 ft) above sea level without de-rating.

Standard high-ambient temperature capability is 52º C (125º F) with cold start capability at –32º C (–25º F).

Auto warm up speeds up hydraulic oil warming in cold temperatures and helps prolong the life of components.

Three levels of fuel filtration protect the engine from dirty diesel fuel.

Grease sealed between track pins and bushings reduces travel noise and prevents debris from entering to increase undercarriage life.

The center track guiding guard helps keep the excavator track aligned when traveling and working on slopes.

The sloped track frame prevents mud and debris accumulation, helping reduce risk of track damage.

Work in Comfort in the All-New Cab

The Comfort cab has a wide seat that adjusts for operators of all sizes. • Control the excavator comfortably with easy-to-reach controls all located in front of you.

Standard automatic climate control keeps you at the right temperature all shift long.

Advanced viscous mounts reduce cab vibration by up to 50 percent over previous excavator models.

Stow your gear with plenty of in-cab storage beneath and behind the seat, overhead, and in the consoles. A cup holder, document holder, bottle holder, and coat hook are also provided.

Use the standard radio’s USB ports and Bluetooth® technology to connect to personal devices.

Maintenance

Expect up to 15 percent less maintenance cost than the 320E. (Savings calculated over 12,000 machine hours.)

Do all daily maintenance at ground level.

Check engine oil level quickly and safely with the new ground-level engine oil dipstick; fill and check engine oil on top of the machine with a conveniently located second dipstick.

Track your excavator’s filter life and maintenance intervals via the in-cab monitor.

Do no required maintenance on the Cat Clean Emissions Module.

Change all fuel filters at a synchronized 500 hours.

Expect the new air intake filter with pre-cleaner to last up to 1,000 hours – a 100 percent increase over the previous filter.

The new hydraulic oil filter provides improved filtration performance, anti-drain valves to keep oil clean when the filter is replaced, and longer life with a 3,000-hour replacement interval – 50 percent longer than previous filter designs.

The new high-effi ciency electric cooling fans only run when needed and reverse to keep cores free from debris.

S·O·SSM ports simplify maintenance and allow for quick, easy extraction of samples for fluid analysis.
