CATERPILLAR 320F CRAWLER EXCAVATOR

The Caterpillar 320F is a compact hydraulic excavator engineered for versatile material handling and excavation applications. Powered by a Cat C4.4 ACERT engine, this machine delivers 161 horsepower (120 kW) of net power while maintaining exceptional fuel efficiency, consuming approximately 8.5% less fuel than its predecessor, the 320E model. The engine meets stringent U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final and EU Stage IV emission standards, making it environmentally compliant for modern jobsites. With an operating weight of 48,500 pounds, the 320F offers an ideal balance between mobility and stability. The excavator features a maximum digging depth of 22.1 feet and a maximum reach along ground level of 32.3 feet, enabling operators to access challenging areas efficiently. The standard configuration includes a reach boom measuring 5.7 meters (18'8"), a stick measuring 2.9 meters (9'6"), and a 1.19 cubic meter (1.56 cubic yard) general-duty bucket, accommodating diverse material types and loading requirements. Advanced hydraulic technology enhances operational efficiency through recirculation valves that route oil flow through the boom and stick cylinders during work cycles, reducing energy waste and heat generation. This innovation contributes to lower fuel consumption and extended component lifespan. The 320F L variant utilizes a long undercarriage configuration with 790mm (31-inch) triple grouser shoes, optimizing stability on soft and uneven terrain. The machine rotates 360 degrees on its undercarriage, providing full operational range for precision digging and material placement in confined spaces and complex excavation scenarios.
