CATERPILLAR 325B CRAWLER EXCAVATOR

The Caterpillar 325B is a mid-sized hydraulic excavator engineered for versatile excavation, material handling, and loading applications across diverse jobsites. Powered by a Caterpillar 3116TA turbocharged and aftercooled diesel engine, the machine delivers 168 horsepower at 2000 rpm, providing efficient performance with low fuel consumption. The excavator features a robust hydraulic system with a pump flow capacity of 109.9 gpm and maximum operating pressure of 4980 psi, enabling precise control and consistent productivity. Available in three boom and stick configurations, the 325B offers maximum digging depths ranging from 19.8 to 23.3 feet and maximum reach along ground from 30.7 to 34.6 feet, accommodating various operational requirements. The machine can handle bucket capacities from 1.4 to 2.5 cubic yards, allowing operators to optimize loadout efficiency. With an operating weight of approximately 56,240 pounds and a maximum drawbar pull of 48,109 pounds, the excavator delivers substantial digging force while maintaining maneuverability on confined jobsites. Transport dimensions measure 33.8 feet in length, 9.9 feet in width, and 10.8 feet in height, facilitating logistics planning. The 325B features ground clearance of 1.7 feet, a tail swing radius of 10.1 feet, and 23.7-inch track shoes for stable operation on varied terrain. The hydraulic system includes dual main implement cylinders with 5.6-inch bore and 55-inch stroke, while the swing and travel systems operate at maximum pressures of 3988 and 4980 psi respectively. Its 111-gallon fuel capacity and 82-gallon hydraulic fluid capacity support extended operational periods, making it an economical choice for demanding construction and earthmoving applications.
