HIGH PERFORMANCE, LOW FUEL CONSUMPTION

    
• The C13 engine and electrohydraulic system work together to help you power through all different types of work, quickly and efficiently.

    

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

    

• The 352 excavator can carry large hammers to do powerful work in quarry, demolition, and road applications.

    

• Large bucket capacity means fewer passes to move material faster.

    

• Self-sharpening Advansys™ bucket tips increase production and lower costs.

    

• Match the excavator to the job with three power modes – Power, Smart, and Eco. Smart mode automatically matches engine and hydraulic power to digging conditions, providing maximum power when needed and reducing power when it isn’t to help save fuel.

    

• The high-efficiency hydraulic fan cools the engine on demand to help reduce fuel consumption; available reverse function makes it easy to keep cores clean.

EFFICIENCY THROUGH TECHNOLOGY

    
• Boost productivity up to 45% versus traditional grading with standard Cat Grade with 2D system – includes indicate-only and laser capability.​

    

• Want a 3D system to improve your digging results? Caterpillar's single antenna global navigation satellite system (GNSS) makes it easy by giving you visual and auditory guidance to grade. Plus, you can create and edit designs on the touchscreen monitor while you’re on the job. If your application calls for a dual antenna system, it’s easy to upgrade.​

    

• Upgrade to our dual antenna GNSS for maximum grading efficiency. The system lets you create and edit designs on the touchscreen monitor while you’re on the job, or you can have the plan design sent to the excavator to make your work easier. Plus, you get added benefits of avoidance zones, cut and fill mapping, lane guidance, and augmented reality along with advanced positioning capability.​

    

• Standard Grade Assist helps you stay on grade – simply and effortlessly – with single-lever digging.​

    

• Dig with guidance to depth, slope, and horizontal distance to grade. You can set up to four different depth and slope targets to help save time and money.​

    

• Automatically stop excavator swing at operator-defined set points in truck loading and trenching applications with Swing Assist.​

    

• Cat Payload helps you achieve precise load targets to improve your operating efficiency. Pick up a load of material--with a bucket and thumb combination or grapple and clamshell attachments--and get a real-time weight estimate without swinging.​

    

• Combine Payload with VisionLink® and remotely manage your production targets.​

    

• Operator Coaching is an in-cab system that recognizes specific opportunities for operators to be more productive and prevent unnecessary machine wear and tear.
