350 - Tier 3 Large Excavators

    
1.  Continuously improved user interface allows for intuitive navigation, minimizing performance interruption with the easy-to-use touchscreen menu.
    
2. Identify apps quickly with a grid list view, abbreviated app names, and categorized menu options.
    
3. A new notification center keeps important information visible to the operator, and displays messages without shrinking the camera view.
    
4. Color coded notifications set critical messages apart from the rest.
    
5. Use the in-monitor QR code to learn about machine technology and features through a full suite of "how-to" videos.

    
1. Operator Coaching is an in-cab system that recognizes specific opportunities for operators to be more productive and prevent unnecessary machine wear and tear.
    
2.  After detecting inefficient or restricted actions, the system alerts the operator and provides insight into the inefficiency and steps to improve.
    
3. Paired with a VisionLink Productivity subscription, this information and other Operator Coaching insights can be viewed from anywhere.

    
• Standard integrated vehicle health management system alerts the operator with service guidance and parts needed to enhance uptime.
    
• Optional Cat Detect - People Detection helps protect the most valuable asset on any jobsite – people. The system uses smart cameras with depth sensors to provide the operator with visual and auditory alerts so he or she can take immediate action when a person is too close to the excavator.
    
• Enhance visibility to make service work easier and safer with optional inspection lighting.

    
• Powerful digging force and strong swing torque enable the use of large buckets up to 3.2 m³ (4.2 yd³) for class-leading productivity.
    
• Compared to the Cat 349-07, the 350 consumes up to 13 percent less fuel for lower operating costs and greater profit potential.
    
• Match the excavator to the job with three power modes – Smart, Power, and Eco. Smart mode automatically matches engine and hydraulic power to digging conditions, providing maximum power when needed and reducing power when it isn’t to help save fuel. Power mode is maximum power all the time. Eco mode reduces engine speed and keeps it constant to reduce fuel consumption.
    
• Valve priority puts hydraulic pressure and flow where you command it to go for fast light- to medium-load cycle times.

    
• Boost productivity up to 45 percent with optional Cat Grade technology.
    
• 2D Grade indicates depth and slope on the monitor with auditor alerts.
    
• Grade Assist helps you stay on grade – simply and effortlessly – with single-lever digging.
    
• Automatically stop excavator swing at operator-defined setpoints in truck loading and trenching applications with Swing Assist, which will help you use less effort and consume less fuel.
    
• Cat Payload helps you achieve precise load targets to improve your operating efficiency. Pick up a load of material and get a real-time weight estimate without swinging.
    
• Combine Payload with VisionLink® and remotely manage your production targets. The monitor's USB port lets you download results from one shift all the way up to 30 days of work so you can manage your progress without needing an internet connection or VisionLink subscription.
    
• Upgrade to Cat Grade with Advanced 2D and create and edit grade designs with ease on a second high-resolution 254 mm (10 in) touchscreen monitor.
    
• Want a 3D system to improve your digging results? Caterpillar's 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.
    
• Know the excavator's exact position relative to GPS and GLONASS systems. The machine automatically compensates for excavator pitch and roll caused by sloping ground conditions.
    
• 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.
    
• 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.
    
• Standard VisionLink® 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.

    
• ​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. Dashboards provide information such as hours, miles, location, idle time, and fuel utilization. Make informed decisions that lower costs, simplify maintenance, and improve safety and security on your jobsite.​
    
• VisionLink® Productivity gathers and summarizes machine telematics and jobsite data from all your equipment – regardless of the manufacture.* View actionable information such as idle time, fuel burn, location, payload, load counts, total cycles, and more to improve machine efficiency, productivity, and utilization. Access data anywhere via a mobile, tablet, or desktop device - on or off the jobsite.​
    
• Cat® Inspect is a mobile application that allows you to easily perform digital preventative maintenance (PM) checks, inspections, and daily walkarounds. Inspections can easily be integrated with other Cat data systems like VisionLink® so you can keep a close eye on your fleet.​
    
• Remote Troubleshoot is a mobile application that allows your Cat dealer to perform diagnostic testing on your connected machine remotely to help ensure that issues are resolved quickly and with less downtime.​
    
• Remote Flash is a mobile application that allows you to update onboard software without a technician being present, allowing you to initiate software updates when convenient, increasing your overall operating efficiency.​
    
• The Cat PL161 attachment locator allows you to track attachments across all worksites, reduce the number of lost attachments, and plan for attachment maintenance and replacement. The work tool recognition feature automatically adjusts machine settings based on the selected tool.​

* Data field availability can vary by equipment manufacturer.​
 

    
• The reinforced swing bearing, along with stress-relieved boom and stick, enables the 350 to take on tough work over and over again.
    
• Work up to 4500 m (14,764 ft) above sea level.
    
• Automatic hydraulic oil warmup gets you to work faster in cold temperatures and helps prolong the life of components.
    
• Three levels of filtration protect the engine from contaminated diesel fuel.
    
• Grease sealed between track pins and bushings reduces travel noise and prevents debris from entering to increase undercarriage life.
    
• Standard built-in protection includes bottom, travel motor,and swivel guards.
    
• The sloped track frame prevents mud and debris accumulation, helping reduce risk of track damage.
