2022 Caterpillar Medium Excavators 320 GC

The Cat® 320 GC excavator balances productivity with easy-to-use technology features, a new comfortable cab, reduced fuel consumption by up to 20%, and longer maintenance intervals reducing maintenance costs by up to 20% to bring you a durable, low-cost-per-hour excavator for light- to medium-duty applications.

Features may include:

• The excavator uses up to 20 percent less fuel than the 320F in similar applications.

• Match the excavator to the job with power modes; let Smart mode automatically match engine and hydraulic power to digging conditions.

• The advanced hydraulic system provides the optimum balance of power and efficiency while giving you the control you need for precise digging requirements.

• Valve priority puts hydraulic pressure and flow where you command it to go for fast lightto medium load cycle times.

• The engine meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final and EU Stage IV emission standards with an aftertreatment system that requires no operator input or downtime.

• Add auxiliary hydraulics to do more work with a range of Cat attachments.

• Product Link™ comes standard so you can remotely monitor machine health, location, hours, and fuel consumption on demand through the VisionLink® online interface.

• Expect up to 20percent less maintenance cost than the 320E (savings calculated over 12,000 machine hours).

• 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.

• Track your excavator’s filter life and maintenance intervals via the in-cab monitor.

• No required maintenance on the Cat Clean Emissions Module.

• Change all fuel filters at a synchronized 500 hours.

• Expect the new air intake filter with precleaner to last up to 1,000 hours – a 100 percent increase over the previous filter.

• 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.

• The new high-efficiency electric cooling fans only run when needed and reverse to keep cores free from debris.

• S·O·S ports simplify maintenance and allow for quick, easy extraction of samples for fluid analysis.

• Work up to 3000 m (9,840 ft) above sea level without de-rating.

• Standard high-ambient temperature capability is 52º C (125º F) with cold start capability at –32º C (–25º F).

• Auto warm up speeds up hydraulic oil warming in cold temperatures and helps prolong the life of components.

• Three 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 center 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.

• Access 100 percent of daily maintenance points from ground level – no need for you to climb on top of the excavator.

• Keep your excavator secure with Operator ID. Use your PIN code on the monitor to enable the pushbutton starting feature.
