335F L^Non-Current

Less Tail

The demand for excavators capable of working in tight quarters continues to grow, and Caterpillar is meeting the need – from the mini 301.7D CR all the way up to the new 335F L. The market's largest compact radius machine will help you take on some of the heaviest up-close work with confidence knowing you won't hit a wall or an oncoming vehicle when you swing because it has only 152.4 mm of overhang.

More Stability

The 335F L utilizes the long, heavy-duty undercarriage from the large 336F L excavator. Measuring 5020 mm, this platform provides much greater stability when lifting heavy objects, which leads to greater overall productivity.

Better Lift

The 335F L is designed to deliver greater lift capability out front and over the side than the model it's replacing. Two major contributors are increased hydraulic pressure and flow.

Product Link/VisionLink®

Easy access to Product Link data via the online VisionLink user interface can help you see how your machine or fleet is performing. You can use this information to make timely, fact based decisions that can boost job site efficiency and productivity, and lower costs.

Ground-Breaking Design

When it comes to moving heavy material quickly and efficiently, you need hydraulic horsepower – the type of ground-breaking power the 335F L can deliver. Major hydraulic components like the main pump and main control valve are located close together so shorter tubes and lines can be used. This design leads to less friction loss, reduced pressure drops, greater fuel efficiency, and more power to the ground for the work you need to get done.

Control Like No Other

Controllability is one of the key attributes of Cat excavators, and one of the main contributors to this is the main control valve. The valve opens slowly when your joystick lever movement is small and opens rapidly when movement is high. It directs flow where you need it when you need it, which leads to smoother operation, greater efficiency, and lower fuel consumption.

Tool Control Above The Others

Caterpillar's standard tool control system gives you just the right amount of pressure you need to work with a variety of tools, including grapples, shears, and multiprocessors. Unique to Cat machines is the ability for you to pre-program up to 10 different tools through the machine's monitor to make switching for the job at hand simple and easy to do, which will save you time and money compared to other brands' manual systems.

Auxiliary Hydraulics For Added Versatility

Auxiliary hydraulic circuits give you added versatility, and there are several factory-installed options from which you can choose. You can have a single function circuit to run a hammer and compactor or a double function circuit to run a thumb or tilt bucket. A quick coupler circuit allows you to switch from one tool to another in a matter of minutes – all from the comfort and convenience of the cab.

Boom & Stick Oil Re-Circulation For Added Efficiency

The 335F L regenerates the flow of oil from the head end of the boom and stick cylinders to the rod end of the boom and stick cylinders during the work cycle to save energy and improve fuel efficiency. It's optimized for any dial speed setting you select, which results in less pressure loss for higher controllability, more productivity, and lower operating costs for you.

Fuel Savers That Add Up

The 335F L consumes up to 16% less fuel than the D Series model it's replacing, and lowering engine speed without impacting production is one of the key contributors. Automatic engine speed control also contributes by lowering rpm when the machine doesn't need it for work. Automatic engine idle shutdown turns the engine off when it's been idling for more than a specified amount of time that you can set through the monitor. Plus you have a choice of three power modes – high power, standard power, and eco mode. Simply change between modes through the console switch panel to meet the work needs in front of you. Collectively, all of these benefits add up to lower fuel consumption, less exhaust and sound emissions, reduced repair and maintenance costs, and increased engine life for you.
