MOVE MORE WITH LESS FUEL

    
• The C7.1 engine can run on biodiesel up to B20 and emits equivalent to U.S. EPA Tier 3 and EU Stage IIIA.

    

• Use up to 25% less fuel than the 320D2 to keep you moving and productive on the job site.

    

• The advanced hydraulic system provides the optimum balance of power and efficiency while giving you the control you need for precise digging requirements.

    

• Valve priority puts hydraulic pressure and flow where you command it to go for fast light- to medium-load cycle times.

    

• Match the excavator to the job with two power modes; let Smartmode automatically match engine and hydraulic power to digging conditions.

    

• Auxiliary hydraulic options give you the versatility to use a wide range of Cat attachments.   

    

• Lose less energy and reduce fuel consumption with the positive flow control pump. The pump flow adjusts automatically based on valve priority.

    

• Advansys™ bucket tips increase penetration and improve cycle times. Tip changes can be done quickly with a simple lug wrench instead of a hammer or special tool, improving safety and uptime. Only available on HD buckets.    

RELIABILITY YOU CAN COUNT ON

    
• Work up to 3000 m (9,840 ft) above sea level without de-rating.   

    

• Don’t let the temperature stop you from working. The 323 GC has a standard high-ambient temperature capability of 52° C (°F) and cold start capability of –18° C (0° F).

    

• Auto warm up speeds up hydraulic oil warming in cold temperatures and helps prolong the life of components. 

    

• Two levels of fuel filtration protect the engine from dirty diesel fuel.

    

• Grease sealed between track pins and bushings reduces travel noise and prevents debris from entering to increase undercarriage life.

    

• The track guiding guard helps keep the excavator track aligned when traveling and working on slopes.

    

• The sloped track frame prevents mud and debris accumulation, helping reduce the risk of track damage.

DESIGNED FOR OPERATORS

    
• The cab has a wide seat that adjusts for operators of all sizes.

    

• Control the excavator comfortably with easy-to-reach controls alllocated in front of you.    

    

• Standard automatic climate control keeps you at the right temperature all shift long.   

    

• Feel more comfortable in the cab while you work with reduced cab vibrations from advanced viscous mounts.

    

• Stow your gear with plenty of in-cab storage beneath and behind the seat, and in the consoles. A cup holder, document holder, bottle holder, and coat hook are also provided.

    

• Use the USB ports and Bluetooth® technology to connect to personal devices.

SIMPLE TO OPERATE

    
• Start the engine with the push button, a Bluetooth® key fob or the unique Operator ID function.    

    

• Program your power mode and joystick preferences using Operator ID; the excavator will remember what you set each time you go to work.

    

• Navigate quickly on the standard high-resolution 203 mm (8 in) touchscreen monitor or with the aid of the jog dial control.

    

• Use the in-monitor QR code to learn about machine and technology features through a full suite of “how-to” videos.

    

• Protect your hammer tool from overheating and rapid wear. Auto hammer stop warns you after 15 seconds of continuous firing and then automatically shuts it off after 30 seconds - all to extend the tool’s service life.

    

• Not sure how a function works or how to maintain the excavator? Always have the operator’s manual at your fingertips in the touchscreen monitor.

    

• Find the tool you need – even if it’s hidden beneath overgrowth or debris. Search with your cell phone for any work tool equipped with Cat asset tracking devices up to a range of 60 m (200 ft).

LOWER MAINTENANCE COSTS

    
• Expect up to 25% less maintenance cost than the 320D2 (savings calculated over 12,000 machine hours).

    

• Do all daily maintenance at ground level.

    

• Boost productivity with proactive service reminders. The integrated vehicle health management system alerts the operator with step-by-step service guidance along with parts needed so you don't experience any unnecessary downtime..

    

• Check engine oil level quickly and safely with the ground-level engine oil dipstick; fill and check engine oil on top of the machine with a conveniently located second dipstick.

    

• Track your excavator’s filter life and maintenance intervals via the in-cab monitor.

    

• Using Cat genuine oil and filters and doing your typical S∙O∙S^SM monitoring will double the current service interval to 1,000 hours, giving you greater uptime to do more work.    

    

• Expect the air intake filter with integrated precleaner to last up to 1,000 hours in certain applications – a 100% increase over the previous filter.

    

• The latest hydraulic oil filter provides improved filtration performance, anti-drain valves to keep oil clean when the filter isreplaced, and longer life with a 3,000 hour replacement interval – 50% longer than previous filter designs.

    

• High-efficiency cooling fans run only when needed; you can program intervals so they automatically reverse to keep cores clean without interrupting your work.

    

• S·O·S ports are on ground level, simplifying maintenance and allowing for quick, easy extraction of fluid samples for analysis.

SAFELY HOME EVERY DAY

    
•  Access 100% of daily maintenance points from ground level – no need for you to climb on top of the excavator.

    

• Keep your excavator secure with Operator ID. Use your PIN code on the monitor to enable the push button starting feature.

    

• The standard ROPS cab meets ISO 12117-2:2008 requirements.

    

• Enjoy great visibility into the trench, in each swing direction, and behind you with the help of smaller cab pillars, larger windows, and a flat engine hood design. A rearview camera is standard, and a right-side-view mirror is available.

    

• The right service platform design provides easy, safe, and quick access to upper service platform; the service platform steps use anti-skid punch plate to prevent slipping.

    

• The standard hydraulic lockout lever isolates all hydraulic and travel functions in the lowered position.

    

• Ground-level shut-off switch stops all fuel to the engine when activated and shuts down the machine.

    

• Make service work easier and safer with optional inspection lighting. With the flip of a switch, lights will illuminate the engine, pump, battery, and radiator compartments to enhance visibility.  

    

• Enhance jobsite safety. Add a swing alarm to alert people when you're rotating from trench to stockpile and back again.
