The CAT 323 excavator offers high fuel efficiency, low maintenance costs, high productivity, and ease of operation, including the following: Fuel Efficiency: A precise combination of low engine speed and a large hydraulic pump delivers best-in-class performance, helping reduce fuel consumption and improving fuel economy compared to the 323D2 excavator. Low Maintenance Costs: Service intervals are extended compared to the 323D2 series excavators. The new engine air filter with integrated pre-cleaner offers twice the life of radial seal air filters. The latest hydraulic oil filter provides improved filtration performance, and a drain valve keeps the oil clean between filter changes, with a change interval of up to 3,000 hours. The reversible electric cooling fan allows for easy cleaning of the radiator, oil cooler, and condenser, reducing maintenance effort and cost. High Productivity: Standard factory-installed technologies, including Cat Grade with 2D, Grade with Assist, and Payload, boost productivity. The advanced hydraulic system provides an excellent balance of power and efficiency while providing the user with the control they need for precise digging. The Auto Dig Boost feature automatically increases power by 8% when needed, improving bucket penetration and payload while reducing cycle times. The Auto Heavy Lift feature precisely delivers an 8% power boost. Easy to Operate: The latest operator-focused user interface offers fingertip navigation and operation, with easy-to-use icons to maximize uptime and get the crew working right away. Operators can easily rearrange work tool lists and quickly create new work tool combinations. Changing Cat work tool attachments eliminates the need for re-measurements, allowing one person to check and adjust bucket wear. The engine can be started with a button, Bluetooth key fob, or operator ID code. The Cat Single Handle makes excavator movement even easier, allowing single-handed control of travel and steering at the push of a button. Highly adaptable: The excavator can operate in high ambient temperatures up to 52°C (125°F) and can start from cold as low as –18°C (0°F). An optional –32°C (-25°F) starting kit is available, making it suitable for a variety of harsh working environments. Highly safe: The optional Cat Detect – Personnel Detection feature helps protect personnel on any job site. This system uses a smart camera with a depth sensor to provide visual and audible alerts to the operator. Lift Assist helps prevent tip-overs, and visual and audible alerts let the operator know when the load is within the excavator’s safe working range. A 2D electronic fence prevents the excavator from moving beyond operator-defined set points, enhancing operational safety.
