Travel Pedal
The optional straight travel pedal provides forward or reverse straight line travel. Steering adjustments can be made by using right or left travel pedals in combination with the straight travel pedal.
Hydraulic Activation Control Lever
The hydraulic activation control lever deactivates hydraulic functions and prevents start-up when the operator exits the cab.
Suspension Seat
The fully adjustable Cat suspension seat includes an impressive range of comfort features, which include fore/aft height and weight adjustments and a retractable seat belt.
Serviceability
Maintenance
Faster, easier maintenance means improved uptime and a better value.
Ground Level Service Points
There are more ground level service points for fuel-water separator, engine oil filter, battery, radiator fluid level, window washer fluid level and pilot system filter.
Improvements
Improved filters and filter locations makes maintenance easier.
Design & Layout Improvements
Design and layout improvements translate to ease of use.
Environmentally Improved Features
Environmentally improved features solve problems and protect the future.
Water Separator
Water separator removes water from fuel even when under pressure and is located in the radiator compartment.
Second Life
The engine is designed for a second life.
Greasing
The remote greasing block on the boom and three grease points for the swing bearing deliver grease to hard to reach locations.
Electronic Power Unit Control
The Electronic Power Unit Control has diagnostic capabilities for Cat dealer's use.
Electronic Control System
State Of The Art
The Electronic Power Unit Control System controls state-of-the-art hydraulics and engine performance for maximized productivity, increased fuel efficiency, and lower emission and sound levels.
Automatic Engine Speed Control
Automatic engine speed control reduces engine speed during lightload or no-load applications.
Underspeed Control
Electronic Engine Underspeed Control balances engine and hydraulic output for maximum performance and fuel efficiency.
Operator Control Panel
The operator control panel allows optimization of performance in all applications.
Work Mode Selector
The Work Mode Selector matches hydraulic characteristics to the application.
Boom Priority Mode
Boom Priority Mode gives priority flow to the boom for deep trenching and truck loading, where there is significant boom movement relative to swing.
Swing Priority Mode
Swing Priority Mode gives swing flow priority and is especially suited to sidewall digging.
Fine Control Mode
Fine Control Mode optimizes hydraulic pump output for applications like slope finishing or precision lifting which require smoother control.
User Mode
User Mode allows the operator to choose from two submodes.
Monitoring System
Machine monitoring system uses a progression of indicators, action lamps, and alarms to inform the operator of machine conditions.
Service Mode
Service Mode of the Electronic Power Unit Control delivers fast, detailed diagnosis of machine conditions improving uptime.
Hydraulics
Control Responsiveness
Dramatically increased control responsiveness aids operation and improves cycle time.
Hydraulic Relief Pressure
Larger boom cylinders and an increase in hydraulic relief pressure increases boom, stick and bucket forces for better productivity, higher lift capacity and a wider range of workable material.
Hydraulic Cross-Sensing System
Hydraulic cross-sensing system improves productivity with faster implement speeds and quicker, stronger pivot turns.
Boom Regeneration Circuit
The boom regeneration circuit diverts oil within the cylinder to lower the boom, pumps have all pressure and flow available for other circuits.
Swing Control
Fine swing control cushions swing start and stop for better implement control.
Pump Flow
Pump flow decreases when controls are in neutral for reduced fuel consumption and sound.
Auxiliary Hydraulic Valve
The auxiliary hydraulic valve is standard on the 330B for use with optional hydraulic circuits.
Auxiliary Hydraulic Flow Control System
Auxiliary hydraulic flow control system option provides up to four programmable flow presets to precisely match hydraulic tool requirements (i.e., hammers, shears, processors, brush cutters, etc.).
Cylinder Snubbers
Hydraulic cylinder snubbers at rod-end of boom cylinders and both ends of sick cylinders cushion shocks, reduce sound and increase cylinder life.
XT Hose & Reusable Couplings
Cat's XT hose and reusable couplings meet the critical flexibility and strength demands of the 330B.
Engine
Control
Automatic engine control has a convenient one-touch command.
Service Hours
