2022 Caterpillar Medium Excavators 320 GC
OVERVIEWThe 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:
PERFORMANCE WITH LESS FUEL- 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.
LOWER MAINTENANCE COSTS- 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.
RELIABILITY YOU CAN COUNT ON- 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.
SAFELY HOME EVERY DAY- 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.
