Benefits & Features
Engine and Hydraulics
Engine
Six cylinder turbocharged engine built for power, reliability, economy, and low emissions will keep the machine up and running. The Cat 3126B engine meets Tier 2 worldwide emissions requirements.
Hydraulic Cross Sensing System
Improves productivity with faster implement speeds and quicker, stronger pivot turns.
Fine Swing Control
Fine swing control cushions swing start and stop for better implement control.
Hydraulic Cylinder Snubbers
The hydraulic cylinder snubbers at rod-end of boom cylinders and both ends of stick cylinder cushion shocks, reduce sound, and increase cylinder life, keeping the machine working longer.
Controllability
The hydraulic system offers precise control to the 325C L, reducing operator fatigue, improving operator effectiveness, and efficiency, which ultimately translates into enhanced performance.
Boom and Stick Regeneration Circuit
Boom and stick regeneration circuit increases efficiency and reduces cycle times for higher productivity and lower operating costs.
Structures
Robotic Welding
Up to 95% of the structural welds on a Caterpillar Excavator are completed by robots. Robotic welds achieve up to three times the penetration of manual welds.
Undercarriage
Durable Cat undercarriage absorbs stresses and provides excellent stability.
Booms and Sticks
Reach Boom
The reach boom features an optimum design that maximizes digging envelopes with two stick choices.
R3.2C Stick
The C-family bucket associated with the R3.2C Stick has enough capacity for excellent reach and depth in trenching and general construction applications.
R2.65C Stick
The R2.65C Stick is suited to high-capacity buckets used in trenching, excavation, and other general construction work. It has been designed with enough reach and depth to match a large-capacity bucket and high digging force.
Mass Excavation Boom
The mass excavation boom maximizes productivity. The mass version offers significantly higher digging forces and allows use of larger buckets.
M2.5D Stick
The M2.5D Stick uses the D-family buckets which have higher capacities. The mass stick is designed to use these buckets at increased digging forces to achieve high-volume earth moving. Combined with a mass boom, this stick delivers outstanding productivity.
M3.2C Stick
Because of it's operating envelope, the M3.2C stick is suited well to general excavation and excavation with large earth volume applications. The M3.2C stick uses a C-family bucket.
Work Tools - Attachments
Quick Couplers
The Pin Grabber Plus and the Dedicated Hydraulic Quick Coupler enhances machine versatility by enabling the rapid change over of a wide range of work tools in the field.
General Purpose (GP) Buckets
General Purpose Buckets are best for digging in soft to hard ground with low to moderately abrasive materials.
Ditch Cleaning (DC) Buckets
These wide shallow buckets are best for bank forming, ditch cleaning, and finishing.
Heavy-Duty Rock (HDR) Buckets
Heavy-Duty Rock Buckets perform best when digging fragmented rock, frozen ground, caliche, and highly abrasive materials.
Heavy-Duty (HD) Buckets
Heavy-duty buckets are for digging in moderate to hard material and feature large ground engaging tools, thick cutting edges and thick bottom and side wear plates to improve performance in demanding conditions.
Heavy-Duty Power (HDP) Buckets
Designed to improve breakout force and machine cycle times, the Heavy Duty Power Bucket (HDP) compliments the General Purpose, Heavy Duty, and Heavy Duty Rock bucket lines.
Monitor
With the optional tool control system, up to five different tool settings may be pre-programmed and selected from the electronic controller through the monitor.
Work Tools
Choose from a variety of work tools such as hammers, shears, thumbs, rotators, grapples, or crushers. Ask your Cat dealer for information on attachments or special configurations.
Tool Control System
The optional Tool Control System works with a variety of tools and uses either standard or attachment controls to maximize work tool productivity and configure hydraulic flow, pressure, and operator controls, matching up to five preprogrammed work tool settings. Factory installed hammer and thumb circuits are also available as attachments.
Operator Station
Operator Station
The 325C L operator work station is quiet with ergonomic control placement and convenient adjustments, low lever and pedal effort, ergonomic seat design and highly efficient ventilation.
Monitor
New, compact monitor enhances viewing while displaying a variety of easy to read and understand language-based information.
Serviceability
Extended Service Interval
325C L service and maintenance intervals have been extended to reduce machine service time and increase machine availability.
Radiator Compartment
The left rear service door allows easy access to the engine radiator. A reserve tank and drain cock are attached to the radiator for simplified maintenance.
Air Filter Compartment
The air filter features a double-element construction for superior cleaning efficiency. When the air cleaner plugs, a warning is displayed on the monitor screen inside the cab.
Ground Level Service
The design and layout of the 325C L was made with the service technician in mind. Many service locations are easily accessible at ground level allowing critical maintenance to get done quickly and efficiently.
Pump Compartment
A service door on the right side of the upper structure allows ground-level access to the pump and pilot filter.
Capsule Filter
The hydraulic return filter, a capsule filter, is situated outside the hydraulic tank. This filter prevents contaminants from entering the system when hydraulic oil is changed and keeps the operation clean.
Diagnostics and Monitoring
The 325C L is equipped with S•O•SSM sampling ports and hydraulic test ports for the hydraulic system, engine oil, and for coolant. A test connection for the Electronic Technician (ET) service tool is located behind the cab.
Anti-Skid “Punched-Star” Plate
Anti-skid punched-star plate covers top of storage box and upper structure to prevent slipping during maintenance. The plate can be removed for cleaning.
Fan Guard
Engine radiator fan is completely enclosed by fine wire mesh, reducing the risk of an accident.
Greasing Points
A concentrated remote greasing block on the boom delivers grease to hard-to-reach locations on the front.
