CATERPILLAR 349E L CRAWLER EXCAVATOR

The Caterpillar 349E L is a mid-sized hydraulic excavator engineered for versatile earthmoving and material handling applications. Powered by a Cat C13 ACERT engine producing 396 horsepower and 295 kilowatts, this crawler-mounted machine delivers robust performance across demanding job sites. The excavator features a maximum travel speed of 4.7 mph with exceptional drawbar pull capability of 75,311 pounds, enabling efficient mobility and material extraction. The 349E L offers multiple boom and stick configurations to optimize reach and digging depth based on operational requirements. Maximum cutting height reaches 36.7 feet with 42.5 feet of reach along ground level, while maximum digging depth extends to 29.3 feet in certain configurations. The swing mechanism operates at 8.7 rpm with substantial torque capacity, facilitating rapid positioning and material placement. The undercarriage incorporates 52 shoes per side measuring 35.5 inches with a 9-foot track gauge, providing excellent stability and ground contact across varied terrain. Operating weight ranges from 105,400 to 117,500 pounds depending on boom and bucket selection, allowing adaptation to different transport and working conditions. Hydraulic system specifications include a main pump flow capacity of 203 gallons per minute at 5,076 psi maximum relief pressure, with auxiliary swing and pilot systems supporting smooth equipment operation. The fuel tank capacity of 190.3 gallons, combined with three selectable power modes—high power, standard, and economy—enables efficient fuel consumption management for extended working periods. These specifications position the 349E L as a reliable, fuel-efficient solution for construction, quarrying, and material processing operations.
