Overview
The 340F is built to keep your production numbers up and your owning and operating costs down. Not only does the machine's C9.3 ACERT engine meet EU Stage IV emission standards, but it does so while giving you all the power, fuel efficiency, and reliability you need to succeed. The 340F features a Heavy Duty High Wide Undercarriage (HDHW) that absorbs stresses and provides excellent stability and durability. Additionally, the high ground clearance is ideal in rock environments, bringing the upper frame in a safer high position. Where the real power comes in is through the hydraulic system. You can literally move tons of material all day long with a great deal of speed and precision. When you add in a quiet operator environment that keeps you comfortable and productive, ground-level service points that make your routine maintenance easy, and multiple Cat work tools that help you take on a variety of jobs, you simply won't find a better 40-ton machine.

Benefits & Features
Following are the built-in benefits and available options that make 340F an outstanding performer and an excellent choice for your line of work:
Engine
- The C9.3 ACERT engine meets EU Stage IV emission standards.
- The emissions package works behind the scenes without interrupting your job.
- Engine speed control automatically lowers rpm when the machine doesn't need it to help you save fuel.
- Two power modes – standard and eco – and automatic engine idle shutdown help you more actively manage fuel consumption.
Hydraulics
- SmartBoom™ technology reduces stress and vibrations transmitted to the machine during rock scraping, hammer work and truck loading resulting in greater productivity and fuel efficiency.
- Major hydraulic components are located close together so shorter tubes and lines can be used, leading to less friction loss, reduced pressure drops, and more power to the ground.
- The main control valve opens slowly when the range of joystick lever movement is small and opens rapidly when movement is high, putting flow where you need it when you need it for smoother operation and greater efficiency.
- Electric boom and stick regeneration keeps oil flow at the head and rod ends of the cylinders instead of going back to the tank, which results in less pressure loss for higher controllability, more productivity, and lower operating costs.
- Heavy lift mode increases machine system pressure to improve lift – a nice benefit in certain situations. Heavy lift mode also reduces engine speed and pump flow in order to improve controllability.
