The 320D is equipped with a Cat C6.6 ACERT™ engine that is powerful, strong, and durable to meet all of your application needs. An ECO mode feature helps to reduce fuel consumption by up to 15% for fuel conscious customers. ACERT engines incorporate proven, robust components you can count on for reliable and efficient day-long operation.
Automatic engine speed control is activated during no-load or light-load conditions and reduces engine speed to minimize fuel consumption.
The radial seal air filter features a double-layered filter core for more efficient filtration and is located in a compartment behind the cab. A warning is displayed on the monitor when dust accumulates above a preset level.
The C6.6 engine features an improved filtration system to ensure fuel injection system reliability.
The Cat C6.6 improves operator comfort by reducing sound and vibration.
Hydraulic system pressure is 35 000 kPa with 205 L/min flow from each of the two hydraulic pumps. This pressure increases digging performance and productivity.
The pilot pump is independent from the main pumps and controls the front linkage, swing, and travel operations.
The 320D hydraulic system and component locations have been designed to provide a high level of system efficiency. The main pumps, control valves, and hydraulic tank are located close together to allow for shorter tubes and lines between components, which reduce friction loss and pressure drops.
The hydraulic cross sensing system utilizes each of two hydraulic pumps to 100 percent of engine power under all operating conditions. This improves productivity with faster implement speeds and quicker, stronger pivot turns.
Control circuits are available as attachments, which improves versatility. They allow operation of high- and medium-pressure tools such as shears, grapples, hammers, pulverizers, multi-processors, and vibratory plate compactors.
Boom and stick regeneration circuits save energy during boom-down and stick-in operations. This increases efficiency and reduces cycle times and pressure loss for higher productivity, lower operating costs, and increased fuel efficiency.
Snubbers are located at the rod end of the boom cylinders and both ends of the stick cylinders to cushion shocks while reducing sound levels and extending component life.
For added safety, this lever must be in the operate position to activate all machine hydraulic control functions.
Positive filtered ventilation with a pressurized cab is standard. Fresh air or recirculated air can be selected with a switch on the left console.
X-shaped box-section carbody provides excellent resistance to torsional bending. Robot-welded track roller frames are press-formed pentagonal units to deliver exceptional strength and service life.
Rugged main frame is designed for maximum durability and efficient use of materials.
Durable Cat undercarriage absorbs stresses and provides excellent stability.
Sealed and lubricated track rollers, carrier rollers, and idlers provide excellent service life to keep the machine in the field longer.
The standard undercarriage is well suited for applications that require frequent repositioning of the machine, have restricted working space, or uneven, rocky terrain.
The long undercarriage maximizes stability and lift capacity. This long, wide, and sturdy undercarriage offers a very stable work platform.
The ergonomically designed operator station is spacious, quiet, and comfortable, assuring high productivity during a long work day. All switches are located on the right-hand console for convenient access.
The monitor is a full color 400×234 pixels Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) graphic display. The monitor angle can be adjusted to minimize sun glare and has the capability of displaying information in 27 languages.
Pilot-operated joystick controls are designed to match the operator's natural wrist and arm position for maximum comfort and minimum fatigue.
The standard suspension seat provides a variety of adjustments to suit the operator's size and weight, including fore/aft, height, and weight. Wide adjustable armrests and a retractable seat belt are also included.
The consoles feature a simple, functional design to reduce operator fatigue, ease switch operation, and provide excellent visibility. Both consoles have attached armrests with height adjustments.
The cab shell features thick steel tubing along the bottom perimeter of the cab, improving resistance to fatigue and vibration.
The cab shell is attached to the frame with viscous rubber cab mounts, which dampen vibrations and sound levels while enhancing operator comfort.
To maximize visibility, all glass is affixed directly to the cab, eliminating window frames. The upper front windshield opens, closes, and stores on the roof above the operator with a one-touch action release system.
Pillar-mounted wipers increase the operator's viewing area and offer continuous and intermittent modes.
Cat front linkages are designed for maximum flexibility, productivity, and high efficiency for several applications.
The heavy-duty reach boom features an optimum design that maximizes digging envelopes with two stick choices; it also incorporates a large cross section and internal baffle plates for long life and durability. R2.5B1 and R2.9B1 sticks are also heavy duty and are made of high-tensile-strength steel using a large box-section design with interior baffle plates and an additional bottom guard.
This super long reach front option provides up to 15.2 m of reach and is designed for light-duty applications requiring an extra-large working envelope.
An extensive range of attachments includes buckets, quick couplers, hydraulic hammers, multi-processors, shears, grapples, and rippers. Each is designed to optimize machine versatility and performance. Cat buckets and Cat Ground Engaging Tools (GET) are designed and matched to the machine to ensure optimal performance and fuel consumption. They are built to Caterpillar specifications to guarantee quality and durability.
GD buckets have been designed for machines digging in low-impact, moderately abrasive materials such as dirt, loam, gravel, and clay.
HD buckets are used for a wide range of moderately abrasive applications such as mixed dirt, clay, and rock. HD buckets have the best loading and dumping characteristics and will empty easier in cohesive material. These feature a more robust construction than GD buckets.
SD are best suited to highly abrasive applications such as shot rock and granite.
The optional tool control system maximizes work tool productivity by configuring hydraulic flow, pressure, and operator controls to match a specific work tool. System versatility enables a wide range of tools to be used.
The design and layout of the 320D was made with the service technician in mind. Many service locations are easily accessible at ground level, allowing service and maintenance to get completed quickly and efficiently.
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.
A service door on the right side of the upper structure allows ground-level access to the pump, pilot filter, and water separator with primary fuel filter.
The left rear service door allows easy access to the engine radiator, oil cooler, air-to-air aftercooler fuel filters, and fuel cooler. A reserve tank and drain cock are attached to the radiator for simplified maintenance.
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.
A concentrated remote greasing block on the boom delivers grease to hard-to-reach locations on the front.
The engine radiator fan is completely enclosed by fine wire mesh, reducing the risk of an accident.
Anti-skid plate covers top of storage box and upper structure to prevent slipping during maintenance.
The 320D is equipped with S∙O∙SSM sampling ports and hydraulic test ports for the hydraulic system, engine oil, and coolant. A test connection for the Cat Electronic Technician (Cat ET) service tool is located behind the cab.
320D service and maintenance intervals have been extended to reduce machine service time and increase machine availability.
