PERFORMANCE WITH LESS FUEL

Use up to 25 percent less fuel than the 320F excavator.
Increase operator efficiency by up to 45 percent with a suite of Cat technologies that lower operator fatigue and your operating costs, including fuel consumption and daily maintenance.
Match the excavator to the job using power modes including new Smart mode that automatically matches 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 your precise digging requirements.
The electronically controlled, twin-turbocharged engine meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final and EU Stage IV emission standards using a transparent after treatment system that requires no operator input or downtime.
Auxiliary hydraulic options give you the versatility to use a wide range of Cat attachments.
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.
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).

EFFICIENCY THROUGH TECHNOLOGY

Boost productivity up to 45 percent vs traditional grading with the standard Cat Grade with 2D system.
Dig with real-time guidance on depth, slope, and horizontal distance to grade.
The 2D system is upgradable to Cat Grade with Advanced 2D or Cat Grade with 3D.
Standard Grade Assist -

Stay on grade - simply and effortlessly -with single-lever digging.
Set your desired bucket angle and let Bucket Assist automatically maintain the angle in sloping, leveling, fine grading, and trenching applications for easy, accurate, and fast jobs.
Keep your tracks on the ground in lifting and hard digging with Boom Assist.
Automatically stop excavator swing at operator-defined set points in truck loading and trenching applications with Swing Assist, which will help you use less effort and consume less fuel.

Standard Cat Payload on-board weighing system -

Cat Payload helps you achieve precise load targets to improve your operating efficiency. Pick up a load of material--with a bucket and thumb combination or grapple and clamshell attachments--and get a real-time weight estimate without swinging.
Track your daily productivity such as truck target weights and load/cycle counts.
Calibration can be performed in a matter of minutes.
Combine Payload with VisionLink® and remotely manage your production targets.
Take Payload data with you. The monitor's USB port lets you download results so you can manage progress without an internet connection or VisionLink® subscription.

Upgrade to optional Cat Grade with Advanced 2D -

Create and edit grade designs with ease on a second high-resolution 10 in (254 mm) touchscreen monitor.

Upgrade to optional Cat Grade with 3D -

Want a 3D system to improve your digging results? Caterpillar's new single antenna global navigation satellite system (GNSS) makes it easy by giving you visual and auditory guidance to grade. Plus you can create and edit designs on the touchscreen monitor while you’re on the job. If your application calls for a dual antenna system, it’s easy to upgrade.
Upgrade to our dual antenna GNSS for maximum grading efficiency. The system lets you create and edit designs on the touchscreen monitor while you’re on the job, or you can have the plan design sent to the excavator to make your work easier. Plus you get added benefits of avoidance zones, cut and fill mapping, lane guidance, and augmented reality along with advanced positioning capability.
Already invested in another brand’s 3D system? No problem. Standard Cat technology like Grade with 2D can readily integrate with that system to give you the precise results you need.

Get remote services -

Remote Troubleshoot connects you to a dealer service pro to help solve your problem and quickly get you to work.
Remote Flash works around your schedule to ensure your machine's software is up to date for optimal performance.
The Cat App helps you manage fleet location, hours, and maintenance schedules; it also alerts you for required maintenance and even allows you to request service from your local Cat dealer.

Standard Product Link™ provides location, machine hours, fuel usage, productivity, idle time, diagnostic codes, and other machine data on demand through VisionLink® online interface, helping you improve jobsite efficiency with lower operating costs.
Improve your accuracy and safety – Add a new Cat Tiltrotator system upgrade with factory-fit joysticks. The system allows a Tiltrotator to work with standard Cat 2D Grade and E-Fence; it uses the standard cab monitor to display the tool and engage its SecureLock™ so you don’t need spend money on an extra monitor.
All Cat Grade systems are compatible with radios and base stations from Trimble, Topcon, and Leica. Already invested in a grade infrastructure? You can install grade systems from Trimble, Topcon, and Leica onto the machine.

RELIABILITY YOU CAN COUNT ON

Protect hydraulic components in cold weather. The auto warm-up feature speeds hydraulic oil warming in cooler temperatures.
The fuel system is protected from contamination of fuel by three levels of filtration.
Bottom guarding protects engine and hydraulic components from damage while swinging and traveling.
The hydraulic tank with a new oval shape designed to improve stress resistance.
The strong X-structure lower frame carries loads from the excavator's upper structure to the track.
Travel motor hydraulic lines are routed inside of the frame to protect them from damage.
The sloped track frame design prevents mud and debris from accumulating and damaging tracks.
The grease lubricated tracks have grease sealed between the pin and bushing to prevent debris from entering and reducing life.
The track rollers are rebuild-able and sealed to prevent dirt and debris causing wear of internal components.
A bolt-on track guiding guard helps maintain track alignment while traveling or working on slopes.

SIMPLE TO OPERATE

SAVE ON SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

Extended maintenance intervals reduce maintenance costs by 25 percent over the Cat 320F excavator (savings calculated over 12,000 machine hours).
Boost productivity with proactive service reminders. The new 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.
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.
Reversing electric cooling fans make it easy to clean radiator, oil coolers, and condensers.
The new air intake filter with precleaner has double the dust holding capacity of the previous air intake filter.
Using Cat genuine oil and filters and doing your typical S∙O∙S^SM monitoring will double the current service interval to 1,000 hours, giving you greater uptime to do more work.
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.
S·O·S ports are on ground level, simplifying maintenance and allowing for quick, easy extraction of samples for fluid analysis.
