CATERPILLAR 323D L CRAWLER EXCAVATOR

The Caterpillar 323D L hydraulic excavator is a medium-class machine designed for high productivity and versatility with multiple boom and stick configurations. It features a turbocharged Cat C6.4 ACERT engine delivering 140 hp (104 kW) nominal power at 1800 rpm, optimized for fuel efficiency and reduced emissions. The machine’s operating weight is approximately 48,193 lbs, offering a balance between stability and mobility. It has a maximum travel speed of around 3.5 mph and a maximum drawbar pull of 46,310 lbs, supported by a robust undercarriage with 23.7-inch shoes and a 7.9-foot track gauge. The excavator offers four interchangeable boom and stick option sets with cutting heights ranging from 28.6 to 31.5 feet, digging depths from 17.5 to 21.9 feet, and maximum loading heights between 18.8 and 22.3 feet, accommodating diverse excavation requirements. Maximum reach along the ground ranges from 28 to 32.4 feet, while vertical wall digging depths vary from 11.8 to 18.2 feet. The bucket system supports a capacity of 1.5 cubic yards with advanced Caterpillar K Series Tooth System for enhanced digging performance. Hydraulically, the system provides a maximum implement flow of 108.4 gpm at pressures up to 5,076 psi with large-bore boom (4.7 in) and stick (5.5 in) cylinders for superior lift and digging forces. The 24V electrical system includes an 80-amp alternator. Dimensions include a shipping height around 10.1 ft and length about 31.1 to 31.9 ft depending on configuration. Overall, the 323D L combines powerful hydraulics, efficient engine performance, and flexible boom configurations to deliver optimal dig depth, reach, and lift in various construction and excavation applications.
