The CAT 323 excavator offers low fuel consumption, low maintenance costs, high productivity, and ease of operation, as shown below: Excellent Fuel Economy: A precise combination of low engine speed and a large hydraulic pump delivers best-in-class performance, helping reduce fuel consumption and significantly improving fuel efficiency compared to previous models. Low Maintenance Costs: Service intervals are extended and more synchronized compared to previous models. For example, hydraulic oil filter changes last up to 3,000 hours, and the new engine air filter with integrated pre-cleaner provides twice the life of radial seal air filters, helping to increase uptime and reduce costs. High Productivity: Standard factory-installed technologies such as Cat Grade with 2D, Grade with Assist, and Payload help boost operational output. Cat Payload provides operators with on-the-go weighing, helping them hit target weights every time and avoid overloading, underloading, or misloading materials. Easy Operation: The latest operator-focused user interface is easy to navigate and operate with simple, intuitive icons. The ability to enter connectors and attachments into the system significantly reduces calibration time and improves work tool combination setup efficiency. Additionally, the engine can be started conveniently via a button, Bluetooth® key fob, or operator ID code. Adaptable: The excavator operates in temperatures up to 52°C (125°F) and has cold-start capability down to –18°C (0°F). An optional –32°C (-25°F) starting kit is available, making it ideal for diverse operating environments. Safe: Optional Cat Detect helps protect people on the jobsite. Lift Assist helps prevent tip-overs, letting the operator know with visual and audible alerts whether the load is within a safe working range. A 2D electric fence prevents the excavator from moving beyond operator-defined set points.
