Benefits & Features

Introduction

The increasing use of hydraulic excavators in urban construction has created a demand for excavators that can work in tighter quarters, thus the emergence of "compact radius" designs. These excavators are completely redesigned to rotate with little to none of the counterweight protruding over the tracks.

Productivity

The 321B LCR has been developed as a compact radius machine that offers comparable productivity of a standard 20-metric ton class excavator. The machine can be used for specific applications that require high maneuverability in confined spaces, but it also has the ability to accommodate a variety of applications.

Swing Radius

The Caterpillar 321B LCR has a tail swing radius of only 1600 mm (5'3"), which allows swing operation with confidence that the tail of the machine will be working within the track width. The minimum front swing radius is 1850mm (6'1") and the 180 degree swing radius is 3450 mm (11'4").

Introduction

The increasing use of hydraulic excavators in urban construction has created a demand for excavators that can work in tighter quarters, thus the emergence of "compact radius" designs. These excavators are completely redesigned to rotate with little to none of the counterweight protruding over the tracks.

Productivity

The 321B LCR has been developed as a compact radius machine that offers comparable productivity of a standard 20-metric ton class excavator. The machine can be used for specific applications that require high maneuverability in confined spaces, but it also has the ability to accommodate a variety of applications.

Swing Radius

The Caterpillar 321B LCR has a tail swing radius of only 1600 mm (5'3"), which allows swing operation with confidence that the tail of the machine will be working within the track width. The minimum front swing radius is 1850mm (6'1") and the 180 degree swing radius is 3450 mm (11'4").

Working Envelope

The 321B LCR is equipped with a 5.7 m (18'8") boom and a 2.9 m (9'6") stick, with the "B" family bucket linkage. The boom cylinder boss in the boom center has been relocated, which results in an increase of boom up and down movement and increases in maximum digging height and depth.

Serviceability/Maintenance

On compact radius machines, accessibility for maintenance and service items is generally a trade-off for its small tail swing radius. The Cat 321B LCR was designed with full consideration given to ground-level maintenance when possible.

Ground Level Maintenance

The Cat 321B LCR embodies the ground-level maintenance concept to the maximum. Fuel line water separator and battery checks, radiator coolant level check, pilot filter and drain filter replacement can be performed from the ground.

Front Linkage Service Intervals

The front linkage (except the bucket linkage) utilizes the same linkage as the 320C L, where greasing intervals has been extended from 50 hours to 1000 hours. The bucket linkage greasing intervals have been extended from 50 hours to 100 hours.
