2022 Caterpillar Medium Excavators 320

The 320 raises the bar for efficiency and fuel economy in this size class. With the industry’s highest level of standard factory technology, a new cab focused on operator comfort, plus lower fuel and maintenance costs, the 320 will set a new pace for productivity and profit in your operation.

Features may include:

• Use up to 25% less fuel than the 320F excavator.

• Increase operator efficiency by up to 45% 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.

• 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.

• Keep your tracks on the ground in lifting and hard digging with Boom Assist.

• 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.
