Weighing just 22.7 tons, the excavator is ideally suited to jobs requiring regular machine movement.
The 320F features the C4.4 ACERT Tier 4 Final engine with a 161 horsepower (120 kW) rating. It consumes up to 8.5% less fuel than the 320E in standard mode, while producing the same lifting and digging capability. Auxiliary hydraulic circuits are available to support a variety of tools like hammers, grapples, and thumbs. The cab is spacious for larger operators and features fully adjustable seat and armrests, and an automatic climate control system for hot and cold weather.
Most maintenance points can be reached from ground level. Wide service doors provide access to filters, pressure taps, and ports that are grouped together for easier servicing. The 320F has modified X-frame structures for increased machine life. Booms and sticks are robotically welded for maximum strength, and greased track links between the pins and bushings increase undercarriage life and reduce sound when the machine travels.
A handrail helps the operator or maintenance technician to the top of the machine, and anti-skid plating and countersunk bolts reduce the risk of slipping and tripping. The 320F comes with a full-length firewall to separate the pump and engine compartments. A wide variety of Cat attachments allow the excavator to be used for different functions and across industries. The Cat Pin Grabber Coupler allows for quick changing of attachments. Several different bucket styles are available, as well as attachments such as a thumb, compactor, grapple, shear, pulveriser or hammer.
