Caterpillar 320CL Used Excavator Overview
The Caterpillar 320CL is a powerful and highly versatile hydraulic excavator designed for heavy-duty applications in construction, mining, and excavation industries. With an operating weight of 22,400 kg (22.4 tons), this machine is capable of handling large-scale tasks such as trenching, lifting, digging, and demolition work.
Powered by a C6.6 ACERT engine, the 320CL delivers a robust 129 kW (173 hp) of rated power at 2,000 rpm, ensuring high performance even in tough working conditions. The 6.6 L engine displacement provides both fuel efficiency and the ability to perform demanding tasks with ease. Whether used for digging, lifting, or material handling, the 320CL’s engine provides a good balance of power and fuel efficiency, reducing operational costs.
In terms of digging capabilities, the Caterpillar 320CL offers a maximum digging depth of 6,670 mm (6.67 m), which is ideal for deep foundation work or trenching applications. The maximum digging radius is 10,510 mm (10.51 m), making it highly effective for reach-heavy tasks such as excavation in hard-to-reach areas or near other machinery. With a bucket capacity of 0.85 m³, it is well-suited for medium to large-scale excavations, moving substantial material efficiently.
This model also boasts impressive hydraulic performance, with a bucket breakout force of 171 kN and an arm digging force of 118 kN, which provides exceptional digging power to penetrate even tough materials such as clay, compacted soil, and rock. The hydraulic system pressure of 34.3 MPa (343 bar) ensures fast and smooth operation of the arm, boom, and bucket, making the excavator quick to respond to operator commands.
The travel speed of the 320CL reaches 5.5 km/h in high gear and 3.2 km/h in low gear, providing a good balance between mobility and power for various site conditions. The machine’s maximum gradeability of 30% (16.7°) allows it to operate on sloped terrain with ease, adding to its versatility across different work environments.
For operator comfort and safety, the 320CL comes equipped with a fully enclosed, air-conditioned ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure) cabin. This ensures that the operator remains comfortable and protected, even in harsh weather or rough working conditions.
In terms of fuel efficiency and operational longevity, the fuel tank capacity of 350 L and the hydraulic tank capacity of 210 L allow the machine to operate for long periods between refueling and maintenance, minimizing downtime.
The Caterpillar 320CL is an excellent choice for any contractor looking for a reliable and powerful used excavator capable of handling a wide range of construction and excavation tasks. Its durable design, excellent performance, and comfort features make it a trusted machine in the field.
