PERFORMANCE WITH LESS FUEL

    
• The excavator uses up to 20% less fuel than the 320D2 GC in similar applications.
    
• Match the excavator to the job using power modes; let Smart mode automatically match engine and hydraulic power to your 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.
    
• Valve priority puts hydraulic pressure and flow where you command it to go for fast light- to medium-load cycle times.
    
• Meets Brazil MAR-1 emission standards, equivalent to U.S. EPA Tier 3 and EU Stage IIIA.
    
• Add auxiliary hydraulics to do more work with a range of Cat attachments.
    
• 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.
    
• Don't let the temperature stop you from working. The excavator has a standard high ambient temperature capability of 52º C (125º F) and cold start capability of -32º C (-25º F).

LOWER MAINTENANCE COSTS

    
• Expect up to 20% less maintenance cost than the 320D2 GC (savings calculated over 12,000 machine hours).
    
• Do all daily maintenance at ground level.
    
• Boost productivity with proactive service reminders. The integrated vehicle health management system alerts the operator with step-by-step service guidance along with parts needed so you don't experience any unnecessary downtime.
    
• Check engine oil level quickly and safely with the latest 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.
    
• No required maintenance on the Cat Clean Emissions Module.
    
• Using Cat genuine oil and filters and doing your typical S∙O∙S monitoring will double the current service interval to 1,000 hours, giving you greater uptime to do more work.
    
• The latest 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% longer than previous filter designs.
    
• The latest high-efficiency electric cooling fans only run when needed and reverse to keep cores free from debris.
    
• S·O·S ports simplify maintenance and allow for quick, easy extraction of samples for fluid analysis.

RELIABILITY YOU CAN COUNT ON

    
• 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.

SAFELY HOME EVERY DAY

    
• Access 100% of daily maintenance points from ground level – no need for you to climb on top of the excavator.
    
• Keep your excavator secure with Operator ID. Use your PIN code on the monitor to enable the push button starting feature.
    
• The standard ROPS cab meets ISO 12117-2:2008 requirements.
    
• Enjoy great visibility into the trench, in each swing direction, and behind you with the help of smaller cab posts and larger windows.
    
• A rear view camera is standard, and a right-side-view camera is optional.
    
• The latest right-hand service platform design provides easy, safe, and quick access to upper service platform; the service platform steps use anti-skid punch plate to prevent slipping.
    
• The handrails comply with ISO 2867:2011 requirements.
    
• The lower frame meets ISO 15818:2017 lifting and tie-down requirements.
    
• Enhance jobsite safety. Add a swing alarm to alert people when you're rotating from trench to stockpile and back again.
    
• Make service work easier and safer with optional inspection lighting. With the flip of a switch, lights will illuminate the engine, pump, battery, and radiator compartments to enhance visibility.

SIMPLE TO OPERATE

    
• Start the engine with a push button; use a Bluetooth® key fob, or the unique Operator ID function.
    
• Program each joystick button, including response and pattern, using Operator ID; it will also remember climate control fan and radio settings.
    
• Navigate quickly on the standard high-resolution 203 mm (8 in) touchscreen monitor or with the aid of the jog dial control.
    
• Use the in-monitor QR code to learn about machine and technology features through a full suite of “how-to” videos.
    
• Protect your hammer tool from overheating and rapid wear. Auto hammer stop warns you after 15 seconds of continuous firing and then automatically shuts it off after 30 seconds - all to extend the tool’s service life.
    
• The Cat PL161 Attachment Locator is a Bluetooth device that makes finding your attachments and other gear quick and easy.

WORK IN COMFORT

    
• The Comfort cab has a wide seat that adjusts for operators of all sizes.
