Note (1) Net power advertised is the power available at the flywheel when the engine is equipped with fan, air intake system, exhaust system, and alternator with rated engine speed at 2,000 rpm. Advertised power is tested per the specified standard in effect at the time of manufacture.
Note (2) ¹Cat are compatible with diesel fuel blended with the following lower-carbon intensity fuels** up to: 100% biodiesel FAME (fatty acid methyl ester)* or 100% renewable diesel, HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil) and GTL (gas-to-liquid) fuels. Refer to guidelines for successful application. Please consult your Cat dealer or “Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations” (SEBU6250) for details. *For use of blends higher than 20% biodiesel, consult your Cat dealer. **Tailpipe greenhouse gas emissions from lower-carbon intensity fuels are essentially the same as traditional fuels.

HIGH PERFORMANCE WITH LOWER FUEL CONSUMPTION

        
  • The high fuel efficiency keeps you focused on the job and budget. 
    •     
  • The Cat C7.1 engine gives you powerful hydraulic power to work with different types of material.
    •     
  • Large bucket capacity means fewer passes to move material faster.
    •     
  • Get up to 7% more productivity with increased bucket and stick forces and larger bucket compared to the 330.
    •     
  • Match the excavator to the job with two power modes – Power and Smart. Smart mode automatically matches engine and hydraulic power to digging conditions, providing max power when needed and reducing power when it isn’t to help save fuel.
    •     
  • The high-efficiency hydraulic fan cools the engine on demand to help reduce fuel consumption; available reverse function makes it easy to keep cores clean.
    •     
  • Self-sharpening Advansys™ bucket tips option increase production and lower costs.
    •     
  • 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 high-ambient capability of 50°C (122°F) and cold start capability of -18°C (0°F).

RELIABLE IN TOUGH CONDITIONS

        
  • Reinforced booms, sticks, and linkage keep you moving from job to job. The reinforced frame makes the machine more durable and built to last.
    •     
  • The increased track width of +150 mm (6 in) gives you more critical stability to work with large buckets or on uneven surfaces while still being within transport width requirements.
    •     
  • Automatic hydraulic oil warm up gets you to work faster in cold temperatures and helps prolong the life of components. 
    •     
  • Two levels of filtration protect the engine from diesel fuel.
    •     
  • Grease sealed between track pins and bushings reduces travel noise and prevents debris from entering to increase undercarriage life.
    •     
  • The sloped track frame prevents mud and debris accumulation, helping reduce risk of track damage. 
    •     
  • Work up to 4500 m (14,760 ft) above sea level with engine power derate above 3000 m (9,840 ft).

SIMPLE TO OPERATE

        
  • Start the engine with the push-to-start button.
    •     
  • Program each joystick button, including power mode, response, and pattern, using Operator ID; the machine will remember what you set each time you go to work.
    •     
  • Make moving the excavator much easier with Cat Stick Steer. Simply push a button and use one hand to travel and turn instead of both hands or feet on levers or pedals.
    •     
  • Not sure how a function works or how to maintain the excavator? Always have the operator’s manual at your fingertips in the touchscreen monitor.
    •     
  • Use the in-monitor QR code to learn about machine and technology features through a full suite of “how-to” videos.

WORK COMFORTABLY IN CAB

        
  • The comfort cab offers a mechanically adjustable seat suspension and an automatic heating/air conditioning system.
    •     
  • Navigate quickly with the high-resolution 203 mm (8 in) touchscreen monitor to view machine information.   
    •     
  • Control the excavator comfortably with easy-to-reach controls all located in front of you.   
    •     
  • Stow your gear with plenty of in-cab storage beneath and behind the seat, overhead, and in the consoles.
    •     
  • Use the standard radio’s USB ports and Bluetooth® technology to connect personal devices and make hands-free calls.
