DO MORE WITH LESS FUEL

        
  • Use up to 12% less fuel than the 330D2 Excavator in similar applications.
    •     
  • The C7.1 Brazil MAR-1 emission standards, equivalent to U.S. EPA Tier 3 and EU Stage IIIA.
    •     
  • Match the excavator to the job with power modes; let Smart mode automatically match engine and hydraulic power to digging conditions.
    •     
  • 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 52° C (125° F) and cold start capability of –18° C (0° F). An optional –32° C (–25° F) cold start package is available.

LONG TERM VALUE AND DURABILITY

        
  • Work up to 3000 m (9,840 ft) above sea level without de-rating.
    •     
  • Don’t let the temperature stop you from working. The excavator has a standard high-ambient temperature capability of 52° C (125° F) and cold start capability of –18° C (0° F). An optional – 32° C (–25° F) cold start package is available.
    •     
  • Auto warm up speeds up hydraulic oil warming in cold temperatures and helps prolong the life of components.
    •     
  • Two 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 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 COMFORTABLY IN LATEST CAB

        
  • The 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% 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.

DESIGNED FOR OPERATORS

        
  • Start the engine with a push button; use a Bluetooth® key fob,or the unique Operator ID function.
